ten varieties of Biston Betularia, 
all of them intermediate between 
the light and dark varieties, and 
read an extract from the “ Zoolo- 
gist,” page 8164, where in the pro- 
ceedings of the London Entomolo- 
gical Society we are told there are 
no such varieties known. The spe- 
cimens were from his own collection. 
He also exhibited varieties of several 
other species and series of Harpella 
geoffrella, and (E copit ora grandis, 
taken by himself, when in Llan- 
gollen, during the preceding month. 
Mr. Greening exhibited a speci- 
men of Trochilium Scoliceformis, bred 
by Mr. Gregson. The secretary 
begged to say that he unintention- 
ally omitted in the i-eport of the 
previous meeting to refer to the ex- 
hibition by Mr. Sidebotham, of his 
new Cctonia, from Grange, North 
Lancashire. 
Mr.T. Greening exhibited Gracil- 
laria tringipennella, with thel eaf of 
Plantago lanceolata, showing that 
the insect feeds on the upper surface 
of the leaf ; it draws the bottom 
half, or a little more than a half, of 
the leaf together, and so makes a 
tube, in the inside of which it feeds. 
When collecting the above larvce 
in Wales last May, Mr. Greening 1 
fouud a larva feeding in the leaf of 
Plantago intermedia in the underside 
of the leaf, and always near the top 
of the leaf.

DISCONTINUANCE OF THE “ WEEKLY 
ENTOMOLOIGIST.” 
We regret to have to inform our 
readers that the “ Weekly Entomo- 
logist” will not extend beyond the 
close of the present quarter. For 
two reasons we regret this announce- 
ment : because it points to the fact 
that there is not sufficient energy 
among Entomologists to make the 
publication of weekly numbers 
through the winter practicable, and 
because the labour has been to us a 
very pleasant one. We shall enter 
into a fuller explanation in next 
week’s leader. The present notice 
must, for want of space, serve as a 
first intimation.
