was remarkable as hardly showing any intermediates, all either being 
of one or other of the parent forms. Dr. Chapman enquired how 
many of the var. doubledayaria occurred in a brood from a normal 
London 2 betularia. Mr. J. A. Clark said he had found that half 
would be one and half the other. Mr. Mera said he had sometimes 
bred not a single doubledayaria.

Secretaries’ Report for the year 1903. 
It is the pleasant duty of the Secretaries to congratulate the 
Society on a prosperous year and increased vitality. The average 
attendance has gone up to over eighteen per meeting, which is con¬ 
siderably higher than for several years past. It is true that the 
number of meetings has been reduced from 24 to 20, but even after 
making allowance, the attendance has been far more uniformly good. 
On eight out of the 20 meetings, 20 or more members were present. 
The abandonment of meetings in July and August has met with 
practically unanimous favour, and the object of having fewer meetings 
and larger attendance has been amply fulfilled.
