•Tune 21st, 1901.— Pachys strataria and Pachys betularia. —Mr. 
A. Bacot, a series of Pachys strataria, in connection with which he 
mentioned that he had obtained two pairings of Pachys strataria and 
Pachys betularia, but only one fertile ovum bad resulted. This had 
hatched successfully and the Lirva was feeding. 
Ova of Pterophorus lienigianus.— Dr. T. A. Chapman, ova of 
Pterophorus lienigianus. 
Aberration of Argynnis aglaia. — Mr. J. A. Clark, a fine 
aberration of Argynnis aglaia. 
Bred Mimas tille. —Mr. S. Dale, a bred series of Mimas tiliae, 
from pupa? received from Mr. C. P. Pickett. The series contained a 
single rust-red specimen. 
Bred Ochkyia quadrifasciata. —Mr. A. W. Mera, bred Ocliyria 
guadrifasciata from Ipswich and Mucking larva?. 
Angerona prunaria, etc. —Mr. C. P. Pickett, bred specimens of 
Auger an a prunaria and Oallimorphara dominula, the latter from Deal 
larvae. 
Eupithecia albipunctata, etc. —Mr. L. B. Prout, a series of 
Eupithecia albipunctata bred from Sandown larvae. These were 
weakly marked, and some were unicolourous. Also bred specimens of 
Venusia cambrica. These were larger than captured examples, and all 
but one came under the var. bradii. 
Collecting at Wicken. —Rev. C. R. N. Burrows reported that a 
friend had advised him that entomologising at Wicken was a failure. 
Sugaring a failure in the New Forest.— Mr. J. A. Clark reported 
that sugaring in the New Forest in the first week in June this year 
was a total failure. Also that little better results were obtained in the 
Folkestone Warren. 
Hadena albimacula.— Mr. S. Dale reported the capture of four 
specimens of Hadena albimacula at Folkestone. 
Sept. 6th, 1901.— Xylena scolopacina. —Mr. V. Eric Shaw, a fine 
bred series of Xylena scolopacina from larva 1 found at Bexley. Mr. A. 
W. Mera commented on Air. Shaw’s success in breeding such a fine 
lot. He had himself found the larvae very much stung with parasites 
when he had taken them at Highgate. He knew, however, that that 
was not invariably the case everywhere as Mr. Shaw had demonstrated. 
Variable Ccenonympha pamphilus, etc.— Mr. C. P. Pickett, a long 
variable series of Coenonympha pamphilus taken at Dover and series of 
Kmaturya atom aria from Clandon Downs and Folkestone. It was 
remarked concerning the latter series how much the colouring of the 
two sexes converged. 
Eupithecia constrictata. —Mr. W. J. Kaye, a series of Eupithecia 
constrictata from Cornwall. The specimens were very dark coloured. 
Mention was made of the extreme localness of the species even in 
localities where it occurred. 
Mesotype lineolata.— Mr. A. W. Mera, Mesotype lineolata of 
especially large size, from the Deal sandhills. The specimens were of 
the second brood. Very little else was observed or captured, and the 
once famous collecting ground was now largely spoiled. 
Synopsia abruptaria. —Mr. J. Riches, aberrations of Synopsia 
abruptaria. Mr. W. J. Kaye remarked on the protracted period the 
larva of this species takes to feed up in. He had had larva 1 feeding 
for four months, and some were not yet full fed.
