Notodonta chaonia.— Mr. L. W. Newman, specimens from Perth 
and New Forest, those from the former district being much darker 
than the Hampshire examples. 
Jan. 21st, 1908.— Hamadryas io. —Mr. P. H. Tautz, two series 
bred in 1905 and 1906 from larvae taken at Chalfont Road and 
Chorley Wood; the 1905 specimens were normal, but in the case 
of the 1906 brood the wings had a transparent, greasy appearance, 
and the ground colour was pale brown. 
Pararge egeria bred in December. —Mr. A. J. Willsdon, 
imagines reared in a warm room from ova laid by $ s taken at 
Torquay in late September; the exhibitor stated that although the 
pupae were kept in a warm room, emergence ceased whenever frost 
set in, only to be resumed when the frost broke. 
Paper. —Dr. G. G. C. Hodgson read a paper on the effect of climatic 
variations on sexual dimorphism ; this appears at the end of this 
volume. 
Feb. 4th, 1908.— Nomination. —Mr. F. W. Jackson, of Epsom, 
was nominated for membership by Messrs. E. A. Cockayne and

with inner silver line obsolete, and outer band only faintly 
indicated. 
Leptomeris aversata ab. —Mr. Turner, a unicolorous dark grey 
example from New Forest. 
Paper. —Dr. T. A. Chapman read a paper entitled “Notes on an 
excursion to the Pyrenees,” which has since appeared in “ The 
Entomologists Record.” 
Feb. 18th, 1908.— New Member. —Mr. F. W. Jackson was 
elected a member of the society. 
Paper.— Rev. C. R. N. Burrows read a paper on Iodix lactearia, 
destined to be ultimately published in “ The Record,” in which he 
first dealt with the nomenclature, and pointed out that the Linnean 
type was white, and devoid of any markings. Special attention was 
paid to the structure of the larva as compared with other “emerald” 
larvae, showing that in this case the larva showed much less specialisa¬ 
tion. The essayist drew attention to a process below the anus, also 
observed in other geometrid larvae, which he suggested might be 
a urinary organ or a sexual character. 
Donation. —At the conclusion of this paper Rev. Burrows 
announced that the microscope and lamp, used to display the slides 
illustrating his paper, were intended by him to be a gift to the 
society, subject to the condition that any member should be at 
liberty to borrow same for his personal use, provided that they -were 
duly returned on the occasion of the meeting following that at 
which they were borrowed. Messrs. A. W. Mera and L. B. Prout 
gave expression to the society’s appreciation of this generous gift.
