Paper. —Dr. T. A. Chapman read a paper, “ A Spanish Excursion 
in 1902.” He stated the part visited to be the district lying about 
100 miles west of Madrid, and that it was very different to the eastern 
portion visited by him a year ago. This year’s visit was made in June, 
and the best collecting ground was found to be the Sierra de Bejar, at 
an elevation of 4000ft. to 5000ft. Catncala nymphaea was seen flying 
in hundreds round the evergreen oaks (Quercus ilex). The large 
Hesperid Cyclopides morpheas was seen and taken en route while in 
France. The general appearance of the country was given in detail; 
the special feature being the abundance of many species of broom, but 
particularly Cytisus puryans. At 5000ft. these plants became more 
abundant, and at 5500ft. to 6000ft. they were everywhere. Erehia
