Smerinthus popvli, bred during August (second brood), and Cidaria 
miala from Hornsey. Mr. Battley, Selenia illustraria, bred from two 
broods of larvae from New Forest parents. Although these were both 
the spring brood, they showed a considerable difference in coloration. 
Mr. Oldham, Calamia lutosa, a var. of Agrotis segetum without any 
orbicular spots; also a specimen of a sawfly, Tentliredoxes neglecta. 
Mr. Lewcock, part of a wooden post, containing cells of the Carpenter 
bee ( Osmia fulviventris). Mr. Newbery then read a paper “ On Bembidium 
tricolor, Bedel.” He stated that although this species appeared to be 
common on salt-marshes, it had not been hitherto recorded as British, 
owing to its great similarity to other species of the genus. Mr. Tutt 
proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Newbery for his paper. This was 
seconded by Mr. Heasler, and carried unanimously.
