Eupithecia extensaria. — Mr. V. E. Shaw, pupae from larvae found 
on Norfolk coast, September, 1911. 
Emmelesia albulata and var. thules bred. — Mr. V. E. Shaw, a 
series reared from Unst pupae. 
Tapinostola bondii. — Mr. A. J. Willsdon, a fine series in condition 
equal to bred, from Folkestone. 
Bryophila muralis. — M. A. J. Willsdon, a long and variable series

alopecia im from North London. 
Old micro-lepidoptera. — Rev. C. R. N. Burrows exhibited a box 
of more or less ancient lepidoptera. The oldest, on old round-headed 
pins were generally dated 1846-49, proving the habit of labelling 
specimens followed by careful Entomologists in those days. The 
following era was less precise, as the labels, though present, are blank. 
Dianthcecia carpophaga. — Mr. F. B. Cross, a series bred from 
Lewes larvae, all the specimens having a very light ground colour. 
Melitsea aurinia, abs. — Mr. F. B. Cross bred specimens from 
Ireland, including two fine aberrations of a brick-red ground colour, 
the usual straw coloured area being absent on uppersides, and on the 
undersides the usual pale spots also absent. 
Brephos parthenias, ab. — Mr. James Douglas, specimens captured 
in Epping Forest, April, 1911, including one with yellow hindwings. 
Nola cucullatella. — Mr. James Douglas, a bred series from Ching- 
ford, some of the specimens showing a tendency towards melanism. 
Callimorpha dominula. — Mr. H. B. Williams, a long series bred in 
1911, some showing considerable variation. A few of the dark forms 
showing obsolescence of some of the light spots on forewings, and 
increase of black in the hindwings. Two with confluent discal spots, 
the confluent being transverse in one and longitudinal in the other. 
Fifteen specimens with a yellowish suffusion in the white spots, two 
of them having the hindwings also flushed with yellow. Slight 
asymmetry is common in this species, but in one specimen exhibited 
the pattern differed, a different spot being absent in each forewing. 
Xylophasia scolopacina. — Mr. B. S. Williams, specimens caught 
in Finchley Woods. 
Apajiea ophiogramma. — Mr. B. S. Williams, specimens reared from 
larvae taken on Ribbon grass at Finchley. 
Pieris napi. — Mr. T. H. L. Grosvenor, a long series with specimens 
showing following variation from the first brood: — 1 . g with J 
markings. 2. Gynandromorph. 8. g with entire absence of black 
markings. 4. Neural markings at base forming a green margin to 
secondaries. 5. 2 with failure of black pigment. 6. J s showing 
varying shades. From the second brood a 5 with black discal spot in 
secondaries. 
Pieris rap.e. — Mr. Grosvenor, 1 . g absolutely white. 2. g very 
large size. 3. g conspicuously small. 4. ? of yellow coloration. 
5. $ with black spots connected with black markings. G. Two 2 s 
with the black spots only just discernable.

greatly reduced.
