REPORTS OF MEETINGS. 
Dec. 17th, 1907.— Aglais urtic.e from Lapland. —Dr. T. A. 
Chapman, a long series bred from larvae taken in North Lapland: 
the specimens were rather smaller, darker, and brighter than normal 
British examples, and the brood included a few ab. polaris, said to 
be common in Northern Europe. 
Aglais urticje abs. —Dr. G. G. C. Hodgson, examples from 
Aberdeen, with slight trace of third spot above the usual two central 
black spots on forewings, also a specimen from Surrey with these 
spots almost obsolete. Mr. V. E. Shaw ab. atrebatensis (Bdv.) 
from Bexley, August, 1905; also four specimens from same district, 
bred July, 1907, with upper of two central spots on forewings almost 
obsolete, and the lower much reduced in size. 
Zyg^nid^:.—M r. L. W. Newman—on behalf of Mr. G. B. 
Oliver— Anthrocera minos from North Wales, Galway, and North 
Argyle ; also a six-spotted Zygaena from North Argyle with furry 
body, suggesting the possibility of hybridisation of A. filipendulec 
and A. minos, both of which occur there. 
Jan. 7th, 1908.— Cucullia verbasci vars. —Rev. C. R. N. 
Burrows exhibited a number of imagines bred in early May, 1907, 
by Mr. Norgate, from larv® taken at the end of July, 1906 ; some of 
the specimens were typical, while others were so light, and others 
again, so dark, as to cause the exhibitor to express some doubt as 
to their identity. 
Spilote ulmata. —Mr. S. J. Bell, a series from Chalfont Road, 
ranging from specimens in which the black blotches were almost 
obsolete to forms in which these formed almost continuous fasciae. 
Pterophorus brachydactylus.— Dr. T. A. Chapman, a series 
representing a third generation from Swiss stock. 
Arctia caia abs. —Mr J. A. Clark, two fine aberrations, the 
one with yellow hindwings, Leyton, 1907, and the other with fore¬ 
wings almost entirely deep brown, with only traces of the usual 
cream ground colour, and the hindwings of an orange shade, with 
the black spots forming two broad bands, and black nervures. 
Sesia andreniformis and its Parasite.— Mr. H. M. Edelsten, 
specimens bred in 1907 from Kent and Bedfordshire; also Meniscus 
bilineatus bred from the pupae of this species. 
Pierid^e from Scotland.- —Mr. T. H. L. Grosvenor, long series, 
including very yellow P. napi from Aberdeen ; also from same district 
P. brassicae with uppersides of foiewings heavily speckled with black 
at the base, and underside of hindwings similarly marked. 
Deilephila euphorbia. —Mr. A. Hemming, a specimen taken at 
Eastbourne in 1907. 
Spilote grossulariata abs..— Mr. A. W. Mera exhibited aberra¬ 
tions from London and Aberdeen, and drew attention to the fact 
that while the London forms were usually blackest at the base, in 
the northern forms the increase of black markings usually occurred 
on the margins of the wings.
