Tuesday, 5th December, 1893.—Exhibits:—Dr. Buckell, a series of 
Noctua rubi, bred from a female captured at Wimbledon in August, 
these being, therefore, the third brood. The females of this series fol¬ 
lowed the female parent in being almost unicolorous, while the males 
had the black dot below the stigmata developed into a wedge-shaped 
mark, similar to the claviform of the Agrotidce. Mr. Clark, a variety 
'Of Arctia caia, with the hind wings much suffused with black. Mr. 
Hill, Cymatophora ocularis, from Wicken, a female of Lyccena teams 
with white spots, and a specimen of Vanessa antiopa taken by Mr. Geo. 
Turner, at Hythe, Kent, 30th August, 1893. Mr. Battley, series of 
Melanippe montanata, from Hale End and Rugby. He pointed out 
that the Hale End specimens had a very dark band on a clear, cream- 
coloured ground, whereas the band in the Rugby specimens was much 
paler, and the space between the band and the hind margin was clouded 
with brown. Mr. Oldham, Hypsipetes ruberata, from Cambridgeshire; 
also the melanic form of Hybernia leucophcearia, Himera pennaria $ , 
-and a specimen of a dragon fly, Libellula quadrimaculata. Mr. Hill 
stated that a specimen of Catocdla fraxini had been seen on two occa¬ 
sions, on sugar, at Bexhill, the “ sugar ” being composed of marmalade 
and brandy. 
The gentlemen nominated at the previous meeting, as officers for 
1894, were unanimously elected. 
The Secretary read the Report for the past year, from which it ap¬ 
peared that, although the session had been a quiet one, the attendance 
and membership roll were both larger than those for 1892.. 
The President then gave his annual address, which mainly consisted 
of a review of the list of London birds which he had compiled in con¬ 
nection with the London fauna lists undertaken by the Society, at the 
same time handing to each member present a copy of Mr. Tutt’s new 
book, Random Recollections of Woodland, Fen and Hill. 
Captain Thompson proposed a vote of thanks to the President, 
Vice-presidents, and Officers, for their services during the past year. 
This was seconded by Mr. Hill, and carried.
