XXXIli COUNCIL'S REPORT for 1953-54 Before an increase in subscription rates is put into operation, its anticipated effect is always somewhat speculative, and it was in- evitable, therefore, that the events of the past year should be watched by your Council with interest, if not a little anxiety. I+ is consequently with great pleasure that another satisfactory year of progress can be reported. With the increase in subscription rates, the expected resigna- tions duly arrived, but only the moderate number of 27 was received during the year. This loss was more than countered by the intake of new members, and on the 3lst December last the total membership stood at 515, which represents a nett increase of 2 members over the member- ship at the same time last year. Our strength of 515 is made up of 3 Honorary, 5 Special Life, 14 Life, 254 Ordinary and 239 Country Mem- bers. There have been four deaths, which will be mentioned in more detail by your President, and 5 members were struck off for non- payment of subscriptions. 38 new members were elected and completed their obligations. Mr. E. J. Hare, having joined the Society in 1902 and thus completed 50 years of membership, has now been appointed a Special Life Member, and Mr. H. W. Andrews, who joined in 1907 and held the Presidential chair in 1929, has been elected an Honorary Member by your Council in recognition of his long association with and service to the Society. The usual 21 Ordinary meetings were held, two of them taking place in the Meeting Room of the Linnean Society of London, as the rooms of the Royal Society were not available on those occasions. Meetings continue to be well attended, the average attendance through- out the year being 57. At two meetings we had the privilege of enjoy- ing the superb colour photography of Mr. C. P. Rose. Our thanks are due to him for the pleasure he has given us and his interest in the Society. Distinguished visitors included Dr. Asahina of Tokyo, since enrolled as a member, Professor and Mrs. Alexander B. Klots from New York, Professor Robert L. Usinger from California, Herr Wagner from Mainz, Germany, and Professor Teiso Esaki from Japan. During the year, 23 Field Meetings were held and _ were generally well attended. The two most ambitious meetings were those to the Isle of Wight and the Warren, Folkestone. These particular expeditions had been very popular some years ago, and it was pleasant to see them revived and once more on the programme. Excursions of this nature involve much work on the part of the organisers, and we are grateful to them for their industry on our behalf. On the Island Melitaea cinxia L. was found to be common in its well-known haunts, and it was gratifying to discover that Aplasta ononaria Fuessl. was easily holding its own in the Warren. On three occasions, the parties attending the meetings were entertained to tea by the wives of the XXXIV leaders in their homes. These ladies were Mrs. Rumsey at Banstead, Mrs. Mere at Chiddingfold and Mrs. Odd at Chailey, and we extend to them our warmest thanks for their courtesy and charming hospitality. Another very enjoyable Annual Dinner was held at the Hol- born Restaurant and was attended by 95 members and guests. The Amateur Entomologists’ Society was the guest society and was repre- sented by its President, Mr. L. W. Siggs, the Honorary Treasurer, Mr. P. C. Le Masurier, and the Honorary Secretary, Mr. E. Lewis. Other guests were Major A. Greig, Assistant Secretary to the Geological Society of London, Professor G. C. Varley, the Hope Professor, Mr. E. B. Britton, Honorary Secretary to the Royal Entomological Society of London, and Mrs. Britton. Once more we had the pleasure of welcom- ing the officers of the Royal Society, Dr. Martin and Mr. Kaye, and, as Mr. Rogers had retired, we were very pleased to have with us his successor, Mr. W. M. Malcolm. As it was believed that many members who are only able to join our gatherings on such occasions would like a pictorial record of the event, a firm of photographers was engaged. The Exhibition on the following day was the usual great suc- cess, and we are again grateful to the Royal Society and the Geological Society of London for allowing us to use their libraries for the occasion. The Attendance Register was signed by 228 members and 145 visitors, which is well up to the average for the past few years. Neuroptera and Orthoptera were the Orders for special consideration, and students of these Orders are to be congratulated on the excellence of their exhibits. There was a particularly comprehensive display of the Odonata. The exhibits of Lepidoptera were, perhaps, not quite up to the usual standard, but this was doubtless due to a rather poor year for insects generally. These conditions existed also in other parts of Europe. A specimen of Nymphalis zanthomelas Esper, taken in Kent, excited great interest, this being the first record in England of this imposing Central and Eastern European butterfly. Mr. Norman C. Pilleau, who is not a member, very kindly loaned his extensive collection of Aphantopus hyperantus L., the result of over 15 years patiently observing this species. Owing to pressure of work, the Pest Infestation Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries was unable to bring so large an exhibit as usual, but Mr. L. C. Bushby brought from the Zoo an interesting selection of its more curious or rare insects, spiders, scor- pions, batrachians and reptiles. Mr. Tams, as usual, sacrificed much time carefully selecting and photographing specimens for illustrating the Proceedings, and we once more offer him our thanks for his ser- vices. An important development in the activities of the Society is the arrangement with the Nature Conservancy to. invite our members to assist in carrying out an entomological survey of the sites in which the Conservancy is interested. Circulars have been sent to all members, and the response has been sufficient to justify the decision, which your Council had taken, to proceed with the project for a trial period of one year. At the present time, members may not have received in- structions regarding sites in their neighbourhood, but this work of 4. - XXXV allocation is well in hand. It is believed by your Council that participa- tion in this scheme will add great interest to our entomological pur. suits, and members who live far from London will be conscious of taking a far more active part in the affairs of the Society. Many members have already expressed willingness to collect insects of Orders which they do not normally study, and it is hoped to assist and encourage them by having the specimens identified by specialists in those Orders. As the work will entail the recording of the common species as well as the rarities, an important result should be the widening of our knowledge of the distribution in the British Isles of many species often ignored because of their frequency. There should also be opportunities for ecological work by those members with the requisite ability and in- clination. It is hoped that at this time next year it will be possible to give a satisfactory account of work accomplished. Your Council very much regrets having to inform you _ that it is still unable to mention a probable date for the publication of the *‘Proceedings and Transactions’’ for the year 1952/53. The cause of the delay is quite beyond their control. Most members will know that the awaited volume included two important papers on the British Micro-lepidoptera, one on the Glyphipterigidae, by Mr. L. T. Ford, and the other on the Lyonetiidae, by Mr. 8. C. S. Brown. These papers are illustrated by coloured plates executed by Mr. S. N. A. Jacobs and Col. F. C. Fraser respectively. The plates have only recently been com- pleted by the printers. Members are assured that everything reason- able is being done to expedite the issue of this volume. It will include a complete list of members. For some years it had been obvious that the restricted library space available to the Society was totally inadequate to hold the grow- ing number of volumes. Drastic action was necessary. With the authority of your Council, the librarian has combed the book-cases and cupboards for books which could be discarded because of their slight utility to the Society. A considerable number of bound books, separates and series of periodicals were selected for disposal, and these have since been sold, after approval by the Council and Trustees. In this way, much space has been found for new acquisitions, and the accessibility of books has been considerably improved. The Honorary Curator reports that during the past year additions to the Society’s collections have been made by Messrs. F. T. Vallins, A. E. Gardner, H. E. Webb, F. J. Coulson, S. Torstenius, and Trevor Trought (Lepidoptera), W. H. Spreadbury, V. E. August and F. T. Vallins (Coleoptera), A. E. Gardner (Orthoptera), W. H. Sperring and V. E. August (Hymenoptera), H. G. Tunstall (Diptera), D. Leston, F. J. Coulson and Dr. A. M. Massee (Heteroptera). The best thanks of the Society are due to these members. A re-arrangement of the Orthoptera by Mr. A. E. Gardner has been carried out and the re-arranging of the Syrphidae (Diptera) is in hand. Eleven drawers of the Palaearctic Lycaenid collection have now been completed. xxxvi The Librarian reports it is hoped to clear up arrears of binding during the next few months. Members’ attention is drawn to the suggestions book—suggestions for the purchase of library books may be entered there. ' A list of additions to the library during 1953 follows : — By gift:—Royal Ent. Soc. Lond., Transactions and Proceedings of that society, 1953.

XXXVli TREASURERS REPORT, for 1953 Members will expect a good report from me on this occasion, the increased rates of subscription having come into force, and the Grant- in-Aid of Publications received through the Royal Society having been brought forward from the previous year. I think the audited Accounts I am about to read will be considered satisfactory. CAPITAL ACCOUNT. This fund has been augmented by selling, with our Trustees’ ap- proval, two pieces of furniture and a number of books and papers which were not required, the sum realised being £97 15s. BALANCE SHEET. The market value of our investments at the end of the year was £1,245, an appreciation of almost £100 in the twelve months. The cash position is also stronger by approximately £300. The large amount shown as cash in hand was occasioned by my receiving cheques for £85 after banking hours on the last day of the year. INCOME AND EXPENDITURE. While other expenses were almost identical with 1952, the cost of postages and the stationery used by the Secretary and myself shows a saving of some £38, largely by more use being made of the duplicator. Subscriptions received amount to £595 13s 6d. It will be noticed that this item has not exceeded by one half the amount received in the previous year, as it should. The reason is obvious, more members having failed to pay before the year ended. We have, however, kept well within our income, for after deducting a grant of £300 to the Publication Fund there is a balance of £179 18s ld to carry forward. PUBLICATION FUND. The cost of producing the ‘‘Proceedings and Transactions’’, copies of which we hope to see soon, will amount to £404, nearly £100 more than the last issue. But there will be two very fine coloured plates of ‘‘Micros’’. To pay for all this we have the Parliamentary grant-in-aid and the £300 from Income already mentioned, together with the pro- ceeds of sales of publications, store boxes, etc., investment interest and donations. I would like to renew my thanks to those who generously provided the last item, in particular Mr. E. W. Classey for his con- tribution of blocks for the illustration of his Address. Our thanks are also due to the honorary auditors who have acted for so many times it seems unnecessary for me to mention their names.

Ss llth FEBRUARY 1953. The PRESIDENT in the Chair. EXHIBITS. Mr. D. lLxeston—Male, female and nymph of Phloeophana longirostris Spin. (Hemiptera, Phloeidae), a bug which closely resembles lichen, from Brazil. He read the following note: ‘‘This group was raised to family status by China in 1933 (Ann. Mag. nat. Hist., (10), 12: 180-196) but without stating the reasons for this step. I have now examined certain key structures. The trichobothria are Pentatomoid but arranged one behind the other instead of side-by-side. The 8th segment in males is complete with sternum and tergum and carries a pair of functional spiracles complete with musculature and trachea. The dorsal abdominal glands comprise three pairs, the first two separate and the last fused. The wing venation is typically Pentatomoid but R + M and Cu are not parallel and Cu bears a hamus. The aedeagus appears to be unique and will be described elsewhere. The spiracles of sternum IT are shielded but not closed by the metapleurites. Thus one concludes that the group is a true family; correctly placed in Pentatomoidea; it retains many primitive characters; its nearest living relations are found in the Tessaratominae. Finally, the correct author is Dallas, 1851.’’ Mr. T. R. Eactrs—-Fruiting specimens of the moss Brywm capillare Hedw. from Herts. COMMUNICATIONS. Mr. N. G.

Neaverson, the owner of Monks’ Wood, Hunts., who had been so kind in giving naturalists permission to visit the wood, had died on 14th May, 1952. His ashes were scattered in the wood. Mr. Leeds informed The Nature Conservancy that the property was for sale and he had recently learned that that body had purchased nearly the whole of it, consisting of approximately 380 acres of Monks’ Wood proper. Only the comparatively small West Wood, consisting of rather over ten acres on the east side of Monks’ Wood and separated from it by a hedge and narrow drain, and the bungalow with about an acre in the corner opposite to Bevil’s Wood have not been included in the sale, which does include the two cleared and cultivated areas of about 14 acres each situated in part of the north side of the main riding. For an account of the wood see Proc. S. Lond. ent. nat. Hist. Soc., 1944-45: 75. The season seemed to be an early one, judging by the Lepidoptera, Achlya flavicornis L. and Gonepteryx rhamni L.

By twisting her abdomen she laid the eggs on the side of the twig opposite to that on which she was walking. Mr. D. Leston—British and foreign examples of Acanthosomidae (Hem., Pentatomoidea). He stated that this group, containing five British species and some 55 genera throughout the world, should be raised to family status on the following characters: two-segmented 3 tarsi, the visible 8th male abdominal segment, the open pygophore, the unique aedeagus, presence of Pendergrast’s organs on the female abdo- men, length of the 1st antennal segment, presence of a spot at the apex of the stink-gland furrow in many species and other characters to be described in detail later. Dr. Dupuis (Paris) agrees with these conclusions. COMMUNICATIONS. Mr. W. B.

Wakely at Dymchurch in 1952 and described in Ent. Rec., 64: 273. Mr. E. L. Martin of the British Museum (Natural History) kindly identified the specimen. The genus does not appear to have been noted before in England, though this species and several others have been recorded from the South of France. Also exhibited for comparison were two examples of Ancylolomia palpella Schiff., a very similar Pyrale obtained by Mr. Morley in Palestine. Though the wing patterns are very similar, the antennae in the male of the latter species are heavily pectinated. This insect also occurs in the South of France. Dr. B. P.

The Chairman welcomed to the Meeting Dr. Teiso Esaki, Professor of Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. The death of Mr. G. A. Ensor was announced. EXHIBITS. Mr. E. W. Cuassty—Larvae of Calophasia lunula Hufn. (Lep., Caradrinidae) from Eastbourne, Sussex. The food-plant is Toadflax 14 (Linaria vulgaris Mill.). He reported the occurrence of wild larvae of this species along the South East coasts, from Eastbourne to Great Wakering, Essex. Work by H. S. Robinson, R. Mere, L. Christie, D. More and himself had brought to light the extent to which the species had established itself. Mr. R. F. Bretuerton—A living larva of Calophasia lunula Hufn. found in Kent about noon on 20th September. It was feeding openly on the flowers and seeds of the Yellow Toadflax (Zinaria vulgaris), and appears to be in its last instar. The ground colour is pale blue; there are three yellow stripes on the sides and back and two broken black stripes on the sides, with a thick sprinkling of black spots on the blue ground. The appearance is thus rather that of a Cucullia; but in shape it resembles Pieris brassicae, tapering slightly towards the head and tail. Mr. R. Etpon Exuison—A specimen of Luperina dumerilii Dup. (Lep., Caradrinidae) taken at Eastbourne, Sussex, on 20th August 1953. A series of a dark form of Cryphia perla Schiff. (Lep., Caradrinidae) also from Eastbourne. Baron DE Worms—Larvae of Huphyia luctuata Schiff. bred from ova laid by two females taken in EK. Kent on 3lst August 1953. He read the following note :— “T am showing to-night a few half-grown larvae of the White- banded Carpet Moth (EKuphyia luctuata Schiff. = lugubrata Staud.) bred from two females taken in East Kent on 31st Aucust 1953. They hatched on 6th September. As I believe this to be the first time these larvae have been exhibited at this or any other Society in this country, I have thought it of interest to say something about the history, status and habits of this apparent newcomer among our ‘Geometers’. The first recorded example in this country was in 1924 when a specimen was taken in North Kent by the son of Mr. F. T. Grant (Entom., 58: 16) on 2nd June. We next hear of it in 1928 (Entom., 61: 51) when Mr. J. Cosmo Melvil discovered a specimen in a small series of FE. unangulata Haw. he had purchased from Mr. Gibbs. These were all labelled Woodham Ferrers, Essex. From that date we have a big jump to 1950 when Mr. G. Haggett took a female quite by chance on 6th August in Ham Street woods, Kent. He obtained ova but bred only one imago. For a most interesting account of his experience together with the life history of the species see Ent. Gaz., 3: 27. Also in 1950 two examples were found at rest on telegraph poles near Hailsham, Sussex, by Mr. B. Embry. In 1951 a vain search was made in Ham Street but later in September single specimens were taken by Mr. Duffield at Wye, Kent, and by Mr. Morley at Folkestone, Kent, and also one in Ham Street. In 1952 the insect appeared in some numbers both in the spring and late summer in Ham Street, while in this year 1953 it has become more 15 common there and has also been taken again in the Folkestone area and in two other localities in Kent and one in Sussex. It is evidently spreading. As to its habits and habitats, it appears to feed chiefly on the Rose- bay Willow-herb, Chamaenerion angustifolium (.) Scop. In places in woods where this is in big clumps the insect may be flushed by day. The females are easy to catch, but the males fly off rapidly, usually into a tree. On the wing it much resembles Hulype hastata L. in ap- pearance. It seems to be chiefly active in the afternoon. The species appears to have several broods. This year it was taken in late May, in late July and in early August. There were fresh examples again on the wing at the end of August constituting a probable third brood. Both Mr. Morley and Mr. Haggett bred it from ovum to imago in six weeks. I feel sure this species is a new coloniser. It is hardly likely it could have been overlooked for so long. There is evidence that it is invading Denmark in the same way.”’ Mr. H. S. Rosrnson—(1) A specimen of Hydraecia hucherardi Mab. (Lep., Caradrinidae) taken in a light trap on the night of 13th-14th September 1953. (2) Cocoons (raised in captivity) of Calophasia lunula Hufn. in the seed-heads of Toadflax. He remarked that a wild cocoon similarly placed had been found by Mr. P. Cue of Ashford, indicating that this is the natural method of pupation. Mr. L. S. WuicHEer—A series of Aphodius porcus F. (Col., Scara- baeidae) taken at Winchester, Hants., 19th September 1953. Mr. D. A. AsHwett and Mr. C. Craururp—Fifteen species of local Lepidoptera taken in sandy places in the Eastern Counties. Mr. G. C. D. Grirriras—A small collection of Diptera (Syrphidae and Conopidae) which he presented to the Society. Mr. W. H. Spreappury—(1) A nuclear comb of a Honey Bee—A pis mellifera L. (Hym., Apidae) found suspended in a gorse bush at Winter- down Forest, Surrey, 22nd September 1953. (2) The fungus Crucibulum vulgare Tul. from the Druid’s Grove, Surrey. Mr. R. M. Mere—A larva of Thalera fimbrialis Scop. (Lep., Geomet- ridae) from a female taken in Kent on 20th July 1953. It had been fed on yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), was kept warm in a kitchen, and had fed up and was likely to pupate soon. ‘Mr. A. E. Garpner—The following species of Orthoptera taken on the Isle of Wight, Hants., August 1953:—Tetrix ceperoi Bolivar, Platycleis occidentalis Zeuner, Pholidoptera griseoaptera Deg., Tetti- gonia viridissima L. and Ectobius panzeri Steph. He also exhibited living examples of Mononychus punctum-album Herbst (Col., Curcu- lionidae) bred from the seed-pods of Iris foetidissima L. collected in Blackgang Chine, Isle of Wight, during August. COMMUNICATIONS. Mr. L. A. Atrmonpa gave a lecture, illustrated by the lantern, on “Bird Photography’’. 16 14th OCTOBER 1953. The PRESIDENT in the Chair. Messrs. M. W. F. Tweedie, M.A., C.M.Z.S., and D. S. Smith, F.R.E.S., were declared elected members. EXHIBITS. Mr. BE. W. Ctassery on behalf of Messrs. Jonn Knicur and FRanxK Surron— Eggs of Antitype xanthomista Hb. (Lep., Caradrinidae) on grey rock of unknown constitution. They were cream coloured when first laid, later turning orange and then, through reddish brown and greyish brown to dull grey. Also imagines of A. xanthomista and of Stilhia anomala Haw. (Lep., Caradrinidae), all from Aber Bach near Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. He read a note. Mr. J. W. Hoare-Warpv—An aberration of Zygaena lonicerae Schev. (Lep., Zygaenidae) having the fore-wings slate grey with pale pink spots, from Alice Holt, Hants. Mr. D. Leston explained and demonstrated by a model the wing expansion in Brachyplatidae (Hem.-Het.). He read the following note: ‘‘Tt has long been known that the fore-wings in this family are folded when at rest; these wings are considerably longer than the abdomen of the insect and, were they not folded, would project beyond the scutellum. The mechanism of folding has not, it seems, been reported previously. The anterior area of the corium, i.e., between the costal margin and the embolium, is modified to form a hollow tube which extends on to the membrane distally. Here the tube is expanded to end in a blind sac. At rest, the anterior margin is bent through approximately 45° and the membrane at its base folds over the apex of the corium; there are two fold lines visible between the corium and the membrane proper. It is believed that, to expand the wing, blood is forced along the anterior tube into the sac; this would lead to a straightening out of the costal margin and hence complete expansion. On releasing the pressure, an act which must accompany wing folding, the natural spring of the somewhat elastic costal margin would result in a return to the folded state. No live Brachyplatids have been available for experi- mentation but, in specimens preserved in Bouin’s fluid, a dried secretion was noted within the anterior tube and sac. The hind-wings, being shorter than the abdomen, require no folding and in fact are unmodified from the normal Pentatomoid type.’’ Dr. B. P. Moore—A living last instar nymph of Reduvius personatus LL. (Hem., Reduviidae) taken by Mr. G. E. Woodroffe in an attic of a private house at Sudbury, Suffolk. It was apparently feeding on various Dermestid larvae. Mr. A. E. Garpner—Male and female imagines of Aeshna isosceles Muel. (Odon., Aeshnidae) from Potter Higham, Norfolk, 27th June 1952. He read the following note: ‘‘ An immature nymph was dredged from a dyke in the same district on 30th May 1953, this being the first specimen to be found in Britain. When found it was 20 mm. in length 3 br Z ? 17 ‘and had the characteristic dark brown and yellow markings of the genus. The more sombre and mature markings were observed at the next instar, and moults occurred on 3rd June, 3rd July, 5th August, and the final nymphal stage on 26th September 1953.’ Spirit-preserved cast skins of the nymph were exhibited and separation characters dis- cussed. Mr. R. Tusss—Exotic butterflies arranged to illustrate Mullerian mimicry. COMMUNICATIONS. There was this year what appeared to be a third brood of Pararge aegeria L. (Lep., Satyridae). Lycaena phlaeas L. (Lep., Lycaenidae) was in great abundance in the West Country. Herse convolvuli L. (Lep., Sphingidae) had been taken on the 12th. Mr. H. D. Swain read a paper, illustrated by the lantern on ‘‘Mimicry in Butterflies ’’. 31 OCTOBER 1953. THE ANNUAL EXHIBITION—RECORD OF EXHIBITS. The President opened the Exhibition at 2.30 p.m. in the Libraries of The Royal Society and of the Geological Society of London at Bur- lington House, Piccadilly, and after once more thanking those two Societies on behalf of our Members for again lending us their splendid rooms for the occasion, welcomed the large company of Members and visitors, and thanked the Exhibitors for all the trouble and care they had taken in preparing their many interesting and instructive exhibits. The Orders selected for special attention this year were, as in 1950, the Neuroptera and Orthoptera but, perhaps because they had been so recently dealt with, they were not very strongly represented though there were some very interesting exhibits. There were some excellent exhibits of Diptera, Coleoptera, etc., and one of a species of Trichoptera recently added to the British List, but the majority were of Lepidoptera and among them were several of species only recently recorded or very rare in Britain. There was also an exhibit of the less common species of insects found associated with stored food products and a very interesting selection of living animals from the Insect and Reptile Houses of the Zoological Society of London of which, unfortunately, no detailed record was given to our Editor. The following exhibits were shown :— Mr. D. A. ASHWELL, see Mr C. CRAUFURD. Mr. K. E. J.

An interesting exhibition of specimens illustrative of natoral history, and especially of entomology, was pened ens society in their rooms ut the Bridgo ouse Hotel on Weduesday evening, and closed last night. The collection embraces, among fossils, the skulls and teeth of elephants, rhinoceros, ané mammoth found in the London basin. A fino fresh and yaricd collection of fungi, edible and poisonous, had been padiepd near Esherior the show. A case of-fieh- ooks from the islands af the South Pacific aud from the cosst of North America show great similarity in construction, chiefly of bone and shell, and are in good preservation, ‘thouch dating from very remote antiquity. Numerous nests oud cases of eggs of wild fowl sand: of more ordinary British birds are exhibited by Mr. J. A. Cooper and Mr. D. J. (Rice, A model of ‘the preat ank’s egg coloured to nature presents of course an exact facsimile of thot rare and valuable curio. Mr. Cooper shows also a case oi ‘allas sand-grouse, shot near Downham Market. ‘The birds, it may be remarked, resemble much more closely the pigeon than the true grouse. The range of lepi- itera and coleoptera is most extensive and varied. acroscopical subjects figure freely, one of the most striking and unique being an exceedingly minute Ppigeon-post letter taken into Pars during the siege, and bow the property of Mr. Tegetmeier.—Though last evening was in the nature of a private view, the spacious rooms were well filled by a deeply interested assembly. An instructive ond entertaining lecture was given by Mr. W. R. May on ‘The Wonders of Minute Animal and Vegetable Life.”—The society numbers 250 merobere, and is evidently in o healthy condition, ‘Mr. T. R. Billups is president, Mr. J, T.

SCIENTIFIC NEWS. SOUTH LONDON ENTOMOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY, Tuis active and energetic society held its annual Exhibi- tion at the “Bridge House” Hotel, London Bridge, on October 17th and 18th. The specimens brought together illustrated almost every department of natural history, and we feel ourselves well within the mark in saying that a display so beautiful, so varied, and, above all, so instructive, has certainly never been previously brought together on the south bank of the Thames. The Exhibition occupied three Jarge rooms. In the Nelson Room, on the first floor, we noticed a very ex- tensive assortment of microscopes, microscopic objects, arid apparatus. So tichly stocked, in fact, was this department that an entire day would have been requisite to inspect everything worth seeing. Next, we noticed a display of birds, reptiles, fishes, and insects ; a collection of rocks and fossils, illustrative of the geology of the South-East of England, contributed by Messrs. T. Leigh- ton, F, D. Power, and T. D. Russell. Mr. Livesey con- tributed some good osteological specimens, whilst Miss M. E. Adkin, Miss F. Billups, and Messrs. Pearce and Step had furnished a good botanical collection. Lastly, that indefatigable naturalist, Mr. J. T. Carrington, and Mr. E. Step had brought together en assortment of fungi —a department too much neglected. In the Wellington Room, on Wednesday, 17th, Mr. R. May delivered two lectures, one on “The Wonders of Minute Vegetable and Animal Life,” at 8 p.m., and one on ‘“‘ Curious Houses and Queer Tenants,” at 9.30 p.m. On Thursday evening, at 7 p.m, in the same room, the Sciopticon Company gave a beautiful exhibition of photo-micrographie slides, whilst at 8.15 Mr, G, Day gave a further display of micro-photographic slides illus- trative of entomology, geology, ete. The main display, however, was in the ball-room on the third floor, which was converted into a well-stocked museum. The assortment of birds, birds’ eggs, and nests was decidedly good. As regards the display of insects, the Lepidoptera were evidently the favourites. We particularly notice a specimen of DapAnis nerit caught at Poplar. Odeoptera played but a subordinate part, though the collection of British beetles furnished by the President, Mr. T. R. Billups, comprised nearly all the species known to occur in Britain. The collections of Mr, J. H. Leech and W. West were also well deserving of admiration. As for the ‘neglected orders,” a collection of Neurop- tera had been furnished by Mr. R. McLachlan, whilst assortments of Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, and Diptera were’shown by Messrs, Billups and Verrall. A collec- tion of Mollusca was sent in by Mr. F. G. Fenn, and a nice selection of corals and sponges by Mr. W. Manger. We cah only briefly glance at the specimens illustra- tive of pathology sent by Mr. W. Roots, and the collection of plants collected by Mr. W. A. Pearce in a journey from San Diego to the Sonora Pass, California. With the entire display we were not merely satisfied, but delighted ; and we hope the immense trouble taken by the committee and their friends will redound to the benefit of the society. It cannot be too widely known that one of its objects is to afford to youths who have a taste for Natural History that practical guidance which books alone fail to impart.

SOUTH LONDON NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY'S ANNUAL EXHIBITION, The annual exhibition of the South London Entomological and National History Society was opened on Wednesday evening at the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge. In consqquence of the great number of persons who in previous years had visited the exhibition, it was deemed necessary to make the opening night a private view. Last evening there was a eomiad attendance, the two best rooms of the Bridge House Hotel being used for the exhibition, and they were well filled with interesting objects, Amongst other exhibits. were two engravings of pus and Darwin, lent by Mr. J. Wildon; also a of Pallas’s sand grouse, which in England, until this) year, has been a.very uncommon class of birds, Amongst ather exhibits were :— Microscores.—Messrs. J. W. Tutt (Greenwich), G. H.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1888, SOUTH LONDON NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. _The annual exhibition of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society was opened on Wednesday night at the Bridge House otel, London Bridge. In consequence of the great number of persons»who in previous years visited the exhibition on the first night it was arranged to make the first night this year a private view. The object of the society, which has a long list of members, is the diffusion of biological science, by means of papers and dis- cussions, and the formation of typical collections, The two best rooms in the Bridge House Hotel were engaged for the exhibition, and they were crowded with interesting objects. On the first floor there were a great number of microscopes and microscopic objects and photo slides, Dr. Sequeria, aod Messrs. B. W. Adkin, A. E. Cook, E. Cook, W. E. Dawes, and W. Turpin contri- buted a numerous cullection of birds, fish, reptiles, insects, &e., which were inspected with great interest. In the geological section, Mr. T. Leighton exhibited a .arge assortment of rocks and fossils, illustrating the geology of the south- east of England. In the larger room on the third floor there was one of the finest collections of lepidoptera ever brought together. The cases containing these insects occupied the whole of one side of the spacious room, and con- tained specimens of almost every known species. ne of the most interesting exhibits in this room was a unique collection of fish hooks, made and used by the natives of Alaska, Greenland, Figi, Soloman’s Island, &c., lent by Mr. E. Lovett; although differing entirel from English fish-hooks, both in material an design, each ‘one shows considerable ingenuity, and they are said to answer exceedingly well for catching both large and small fish. There was also a large collection of yaluable books of natural history lent by Mr. J. Wheldon, and drawings, paintings, etchings, and photographs, by Messrs. H. Burton and Son, ©. S. Gregson, S. Mosley, W. B. Tegetmeier, and F. W. Power. Birds, birds’ eggs and nests of great variety, taken from all.parts of the world, were on view. Mr. W. Manger sent a splendid collection of corals and sponges. Among the other exhibits Were some fine specimens of coleoptera, hymenoptera, hemiptera, diptera, neuroptera, and mollusea, while in the botanical section Messrs. C, S. Cooper exhibited some curious English plants, and Mr. W. A.> Pearce, a uantity of plants collected en route from San iego to Sonora Pass, California. A selection of music was performed during the evening by Mr. G. Angustus Holmes,-and to lectures were ‘delivered by Mr. W. R. May, the first entitled “The Wonders of Minute Vegetable and Animal Life,” illustrated with the oxyhydrogen light; and the second, ‘‘Curious Houses and Queer Tenants.” The exhibition remained open during Thursday evening, when the Sciopticon Company gave an exhibition of photo-micrographic slides, and Mr. G. Day an exhibition of micro-photo- graphic slides, THE PEOPLE, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1888 BUCKLAND, JUNIOR.

After s Summer of Exhibitions—Italian, Trish, and Danish—a display of Butterflies by amateur entomologists may seem a somewhat tame affair. It is even.possible that the ignorant or the ribald may scoff at the modest exposition of Natural History objects which the South London biologists have opened in their rooms hard by London Bridge. Year after year, the members of the Society bring together, for the instruction of the few who care to examine thom, the treasures of their cabinets, Sponges and stuffed birds, reptiles, fishes, and fungi, corals, shells, and drawings of them, are collected. But the insects seem the principal objects in the cases; and of these the butter- flies and moths attract the greatest amount of attention, No doubt, in the British Museum a vastly finer assortment is stowed away, But the very greutness of the accumulation be- wilders the sight-seer in the Bloomsbury galleries, whilst in an nmateur display every specimen is of interest and has a local history attached to it. It was caught in this meadow or nettod by that stream, It is the visible outcome of days of pleasant rambles— the pearl of great price which was sifted out of the crumbling trunk of some rotten tree. The entomologist who exhibits it now—and has znost probably reud a ‘ Paper” on it during the Summer—lmows its value. He appreciates it, in a way, for its own sake, not for its beouty, or even for its rarity, though, as likely as not, it is “new” to Surrey or to Kent, perhaps ‘‘new” to the British fauna, or—who knows ?—may be a novelty of which Science has hitherto not taken cognisance, and in the annals of Zoology bears the Latinised name of its happy discoverer. Still better, the moth or tho butterfly—Sphinx or Bombycine, or Geometrine, birdwinged Ornithopterine, Parnassus Apollo, with its semi-transparent wings spotted with black or vermilion, a clouded yellow Colias, or a pea- cock Vanessa, gay with all the colours of the rainbow—may be the embodiment of some fact of which neither Darwin, nor Bates, nor WALrace, nor Fritz Mitten ever dreamt. The humble amateur—who all day keeps the shop which keeps him, the busy surgeon with few hours to spare, or the clerk who posts books as his business and sugars the treos for “ nocturnal Lepidoptera,” as his pleasuro— may have lit upon it in one of his rare holi- days, From egg to caterpillar he has hatched it. He has bred it through all its brief voracity as an unsightly larva, and patiently waited for what was in store for him while it lay swadaled os munmy-like pupa, until one day he was rewarded by its bursting its bonds, and appearing as a perfect insect, with all manner of facts and confirma- tion of theories on its wings. ‘lo “ hunt butter- flies” is regarded by some slonderly-informed people as the acme of puerility, well enough for children, but scarcely suituble for adults with funds enough to gamer editions which they never open, and cngravings so costly that they are afraid to expose them to the light. A brief study of such an Exhibition us that to which we refer ought to teach a very difforent lesson, The man who limits himself to the study of British butterflies has by no means a difficult task before him, if he aspires to know nothing more about them than the names to which they are scientifically entitled. But whon the investigation of their life histories is entered upon, and all their varying stages are examined ; their food and their depredations in each of these stages noted, he will find that years will slip away without tho pleasant task being half finished. When the philo- Sopher at the Autocrat’s breakfast table in- dignantly rojeoted tho title of entomologist, being ambitious of no loftior namo than that of coleopterist, or evon of ‘‘scarabmist,” he proved himself awaro of tho amplitude of the order to which he dovoted his toilsome days and harmless nights. But the lopi- dopterists, for whose comparatively narrow field he had something like contempt, can claim a scarcely loss logion-like range of objects on which to expend their cure, Every scale on every buttertly’s wing is an object of beauty and of the most intricate design, and there is not asingle species the anatomy of which is exactly the samo as that of its nearest relation, or the transformations of which do not reveal somo curious diffo- rences. A Dutch entomologist is said to have made fifteen different dissections of the cockchafer’s thigh before ho considered tho labour he had undertaken closed; and yet there is not an insect, from the largest to the most minute, which is not equally worthy of the same pains from any man who does not regard all toil wasted, except what is spent in eating and drinking, making money, and spending it. Tho lepidopterist is, however, not without strong claims on the Bratitude of mankind, for through his inquiries the history of many of our most destructive gerden and ficld pests has beon made clear, and their mischievous career checked at an early stage. So useful, indeed, has the Scanomic entomologist proved, that acarly every Stato of the American Union supports an Entomological Bureau, and now that an Agri- cultural Department has been established in Whitehall, en entomologist has been one of the first of its appointments. Even if he goes no further than the circumvention of the cater- pillars of the sixty-six British butterflies and the nineteen hundred and ten species of British moths, he will have his hands full, without attending to the beetles and the flies, the locusts being happily not within his province, But the annual South London Exhibition—which, tem- porary though it is, constitutes the only musenm south of the Thames to which ihe world at large is free—ranges over a wider ficld than the British insects. And the moment we pass beyond the limits of these Islands, the number of butter- fly species increases. In Europe there are no fewer than four hundred. Within an hour's walk of Para, in Brazil, Bates found seven hundred species, while over the whole world, though it is not one half explored from the entomological point of view, there must be over two hundred thousand different kinds of lopidopterous insects. Each of these forms has its own life history, from tho egg to the per- fect insect, its own plants on which it preys as a caterpillar, and its own food when it attains to adult condition, though thousands of them are separated from their nearest allies by differences the most minute, It is these fucts that have rendered Ento- mology of such scientific importance. In the days before DARWIN a moth was simply a moth, or a bntterfly a butterfly—one moro addition to the corked drawers of the cabinet, another name added to the evor-lengthening lists in the works treating of the order to which it belonged, But since the strange discoveries which led to Darwin's theory, a Naturalist no longer values a ‘ specimen” simply as a “specimen,” but as o link between two others already known, or as the material proof of some fact hitherto sought forin vain. The important observations regarding mimickry among insects form an apt illustration of this. We have, for example, moths whose wings are coloured and veined like the fallen leaves on which they lie motionless, hunting spiders which look like flower buds, and large cater- pillars which, by mimicking the appearance of poisonous snakes, are shunned by birds, and thus have an advantage in ‘the struggle for existence.” In some butterflies and moths the gaudy wings of the males give place in the females to less conspicuous colouring, so that the two insects look like entirely different: species, and, no doubt, have not infrequently been described as such, Mr. WALLACE explains this on the principle of the female being generally slower in flight, and requiring several days to deposit her eggs, During this time her life is important for the perpetuation of the race, and, therefore, she is endowed with a sober cosiume, less likely to attract the eye of the passing enc my. The under surfaces oi the wings of most butterflies are less gaudy than the upper surfece, and, when raised perpendicularly over the back, closely mimic the object on which they habitually rest. There nre some Malay und Indian butterflies which, when on the wing, are 80 gay that they are at once conspicuous, but invisible the moment they alight, the under surface of their wings looking exactly like helf-withered leaves, the insect so disposing of the rest of its body that it appears as if shrivelled up. Others, ‘‘ cursed with the fatal gift of beauty,” are endowed with such o nauseous taste that birds leave them alone, so that rival species, not repulsive on this account, are preserved by mimicking their appearance. All this—and alrendy there is an ever-growing literaturo on the subject of insect mimickry—lends fresh attractions toa Science which has nover been without its enthu- siastic devotees. Among them, curiously enough, the Spitalfields wouvers have alw 8Y8 occupied a prominent, though unobtrusive, place, and in South London some of the most Successful of the exhibitors are labouring men, whose plea- suro it is to study in a world which, according to Scmin.er, is governed “ by hunger and by love.” THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1888. APPENDIX C EXHIBITION OF BUTTERFLIES. ———— Last evening the South London Entomological and Natural History Socrety opened its annual exhibition at the Bridge House Hotel, London Bridge. 'Vhis society, which was established sixteen years ago, has for ity aim the diffusion of biological science and the formatiou of typical collections ; and, although its namo would sug: gest that its membership or area of investigation is confined to the Southern part of the metropolis, its scope is,in point of fact, cosmopolitan, Originally founded in South London in 1672, its promoters bays vob hesitated to harmonise its title with its Qeveloped objects. Tho number of members has adually increased (in spite of inany changes firauphe which the society appears to Mavs passed), until tha Prosar time, when the roll records the names of zbout SO persons in all pa of the ¢puntry who teke an active interest in the innumerable vacicties of insect, botanical, and ornithological life. To the vuinstructed and tho collector alike the exhibition must be of con- siderable iuterest, including as it does uot only objects: whose beauty cau be appreciated at a glauce, but thous sands of minute specimens the delicate structure and tints of which remain unrevealed without the aid of powerful microscopes. Butterflies aud moths in every variety of size and colour occupy the prrocipal xpace, and are to be numbered by. thousands, Lepidoptera familiar and lepidoptera rare may be seen arianged with excellent taste and marvellous care, and to iho amateur exhibitors especially much credit is due. Mr. KR. Adkin has’ lent an admirable collec- tion, Birds, fish, reptiles, and insects of mony kinds are shown by Messrs, B. W. Atkiu, A. E, Cook, K. Cooke, W. E. Dawes, W. ‘furpin, and Dr, Scquiera ; while in the geological branch an lntcresting case of rocks and fossils illustrating the formations of the South- Kast of England is exhibited by Mr. I. Leighton, By the lady visitors especially Mr. W. Manger’s dis dlay of corals aud sponges was much admired, maniacs eaters must have been indeed astonished at the sure prising show of edible and joisonous fungi, and not a little awakencd to a seuse of the risks run by the very slight difference to be obe served between the innocuous and the haronful Growth. This collection was mado by Messrs. Carrington and Step yesterday near Esher, and completoly covernd a large table. Aroong the other articles of interest tu be secn are birds’ eggs aud nests, molluscs, and numerous Arawings, paintings, aud photographs. In the course of last evening lectures were delivered by Mr. W. K. May upon ** The Wonders of Minute Vegetabie and Animal Life” and Curious Houses und Queer ‘Tenants,” both being illustrated by the aid of the oxy-bydrogeu sicro- Scope.

On the 3lst December last the membership of the Society stood at 506, made up of 3 Honorary, 4 Special Life, 14 Life, 239 Ordinary and 246 Country Members. During the past year, 5 deaths have occurred and these will be referred to later by your President. Resignations were received from 18 members, and 3 were struck off for non-payment of subscriptions. The drop in total membership, which stood at 515 a year ago, is mainly the result of considerably fewer new members having been enrolled—17, compared with 38 in 1953. This downward move- ment is relatively slight, and it is expected that the customary upward trend will be resumed in the near future. It is of interest to note that, for the first time in the history of the Society, the Country Members outnumber the Ordinary Members. After eleven years as our Curator, Mr. F. J. Coulson has reluctantly tendered his resignation. The Society is greatly indebted to him for his skilful and painstaking work on our behalf. Fortunately, we have an able successor in Mr. A. E. Gardner. A rather disconcerting event, with which your Council had to con- tend, was the withdrawal by the Royal Society of the facilities for housing our collections and library on their premises at Burlington House. The rooms in the basement, which had been so kindly placed at our disposal for a number of years, were required by the Royal Society for their own use. Notice to this effect was received by us early in April, and we were asked to remove our property by lst August. Despite persistent efforts to find alternative accommodation, nothing suitable was found in the time available, and the Society had no alterna- tive to seeking members who were willing to house the collections and library in their homes, as a temporary measure. An effort was made to ensure that each member offering assistance in this way received cabinets containing Orders in which he is interested, thus enabling some use to be made of the collections whilst they are out of reach of most of the members. They could also receive a certain amount of expert attention. The cabinets are now in the custody of Dr. B. P. Moore and Messrs. V. E. August, A. E. Gardner, R. S. Tubbs and F. T. Vallins, whilst the whole of the books and bookcases are in the care of Mr. 8S. Wakely. Mr. D. Leston has housed the stock of Pro- ceedings and Transactions. It is with extreme regret that your Council has been compelled to separate the collections and library from the Ordinary Meetings, and it is hoped that a better solution of the pro- blem will soon be found. In the meantime, members are reminded that any book in the library may be borrowed by post, and it is the wish of your Council that full use be made of this service. Application should be made to Mr. S. Wakely or any of the Society’s officers. NotTe.—The library and collections have been available at 14 Rochester Row since July 1955. $ XKXKIV During the past year, the plan to co-operate with the Nature Con- servancy by carrying out entomological surveys on the areas in which they have an interest, has made considerable progress. Sites for survey were allotted to 62 members who had intimated their desire to be included in this scheme. They were provided with large scale maps, defining the boundaries of the areas to be worked, and entrance permits when these sites were declared Nature Reserves. In the case of Sites of Special Scientific Interest, permits could not be issued by the Con- servancy as the ownership was in other hands. In all, 78 sites, in 26 counties, were allotted, and it is believed that members participating in this plan have derived much pleasure from this useful and instructive work. Unfortunately, atrocious weather rendered much of the year unsuitable for entomological field work. Nevertheless, much has been accomplished, and the Conservancy have expressed their appreciation of the efforts being made on their behalf. Owing to the impossibility of completing a satisfactory survey in one year, even under suitable climatic conditions, your Council has agreed with the Conservancy to continue with the scheme for at least another year. At the present time, a list of the species taken or observed will be sufficient to constitute an adequate interim report from each worker. Another request for assistance came from the Juniper Hall Field Centre of the Council for the Promotion of Field Studies, which re- quire help in compiling records of plants and animals from Surrey, especially from Box Hill, Leith Hill, and heathlands of West Surrey. Several members responded, but this appeal for records remains open, and those willing to help should communicate with Mr. John Sankey, the Assistant Warden. Thanks are due to the lecturers and exhibitors who contributed to the success of the 21 Ordinary Meetings held during the year. The papers read covered a wide range of subjects and dealt with many different Orders of Insecta; the lantern and epidiascope were in fre- quent use. On two occasions we were indebted to the Linnean Society of London for the use of their rooms as the Meeting Room of the Royal Society was not available. The average attendance was 49. A full and pleasantly varied programme of Field Meetings was arranged by Mr. S. Wakely, to whom we are most grateful. In the 26 meetings, a number of new localities were included. These aroused considerable interest, and were well supported. A coach trip to Salcey Forest, Northants, provided a welcome introduction to a promising dis- trict, hitherto quite unfamiliar to most of the members, but indifferent weather prevented full advantage being taken of the occasion. Much enjoyment was added to the visits to Chailey and Scratch Wood by kind invitations from Mrs. Odd and Mrs. Howarth to take tea at their homes in the vicinity. We are most grateful to them for their thoughtfulness and hospitality. The Annual Dinner was held at the Waldorf Hotel, Aldwych, where the pleasant atmosphere of the rooms used contributed much to the —— Se a ee — ee XAXKV enjoyment of 95 members and guests who attended. The custom of inviting a Guest Society was discontinued, all guests being invited individually. These were Professor O. W. Richards of the Imperial College of Science and Technology; Dr. C. B. Williams, F.R.S., Head of Department of Entomology, Rothamsted Experimental Station; Mr. P. H. Cooper, Administrative Secretary of the Nature Conservancy ; and Dr. D. C. Martin, Mr. I. Kaye and Mr. W. M. Malcolm of the Royal Society, and their ladies. Despite the extremely bad summer, the display at the Annual Exhibition was well up to the usual high standard. There was very little evidence in the excellent range of exhibits that it had been such a poor year for insect life, and the high quality of the exhibits was a tribute to the enthusiasm and ability of the exhibitors. The Orders for special emphasis were Diptera and Hymenoptera, of which an interesting display was prepared. Hitherto, exhibits of ‘other Orders’ had been mainly confined to the Council Chamber, but an innovation this year was the allocation to these Orders of an addi- tional table in the library. Full advantage was taken of this extra space, and the result was most gratifying and justified the experi- ment. In an attractive living display by the Zoo was a selection of interesting spiders, centipedes and stick-insects. The Infestation Control Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries pro- vided an instructive exhibit of pests of stored products. Mr. Tams once more earned our gratitude by devoting so much time to the photographing of selected insects. The Proceedings and Transactions for 1952/53 were not published until late in March, 1954, and contained xliv + 141 pp., 9 plates (2 coloured) and 18 text figures. Unfortunately, a similar delay has occurred this year, but it is not likely to be so protracted, although a definite date for publication cannot yet be fixed. Your Council has drawn up a short list of ‘Instructions to Speakers’ to ensure that no misunderstanding arises over the Society’s rights to decline or accept for publication any paper submitted. These instruc- tions will be printed in the Proceedings. For the last two years it has been the practice to send with the notice announcing the Annual Exhibition a printed slip headed ‘In- structions to Exhibitors’. It is appreciated that this could easily be mislaid, and, to have this always available for reference, it will be reproduced in the Proceedings. The Curator reports that donations of specimens for the collec- tions were made during the year by Mr. L. Christie (Lepidoptera, Diptera and Heteroptera). Mr F. D. Buck (Coleoptera with parasite), Mr. A. E. Gardner (Neuroptera), Rev. D. P. Murray, Dr. B. P. Moore and Mr. F. T. Vallins (Lepidoptera). The best thanks of the Society are due to these members. The Librarian reports it is hoped to clear up arrears of binding XXXVI during the next few months. Members’ attention is drawn to the suggestions book—suggestions for the purchase of library books may be entered there. A list of additions to the library during 1954 follows :— By gift:—Royal Ent. Soc. Lond., Transactions and Proceedings of that society, 1954.

It is gratifying to be able to report favourably on the Society’s financial affairs in a second consecutive year. The audited Accounts, which I shall presently propose be adopted, show a substantial surplus, although it is not so large as in 1953. CAPITAL ACCOUNT. The amount of this Fund has been increased by £12, the proceeds of the sale of a small cabinet which was no longer required. In addi- tion £6 7s 6d, the entrance fees of 17 members, has been transferred to the Library Fund as usual. BALANCE-SHEET. The Cash position at 3lst December 1954 was even stronger than a year previously, the amount in hand and on deposit being £776 16s 11d in all. This will permit of further investment at an early date to bring the present value of our securities up to the Capital repre- sented, at the same time increasing income by way of interest. Our investments also have appreciated, the market value being £1276 at the end of the year. INCOMR AND EXPENDITURE. Interest from investments and subscriptions actually received amounted to some £19 less than in the previous year, while the various expenses were in most cases a little lower. After defraying the cost of removing the library and collections to their present temporary quarters and making a grant of £355 to the Publication Fund, there is a surplus of £78 10s 11d for the year, which brings the total accumu- lation of Revenue to £300 7s 5d. PUBLICATION FUND. It is Seite that the cost of issuing the ‘‘Proceedings and Trans- actions, 1953/54’’, will be £350. The Stock of Publications, valued at £65 at the close of 1953, has been written off. To meet all this, the amounts received from the sale of publications, War Loan interest, donations, and a small balance brought forward, together with tie ‘grant from Revenue already mentioned, will leave this Fund with a few shillings in hand, its usual condition at this time of year.

Brown, of Bournemouth, has sent along these specimens of Formica pratensis Retz. for the Society’s collections. Formica pratensis is one of the rarest of our wood ants. It occurs in Dorset, and, according to Dr. Yarrow, these specimens are not quite typical, as they are not dark enough—nevertheless they are definitely pratensis. Donisthorpe gives Northumberland, Cumberland, Mid Perth and Easterness as other localities, but little is known of this rare ant nowadays in these northern counties, although it is known in several places in Dorset and south Hampshire. As can be seen, the species is very like the common Formica rufa L. According to Donis- thorpe, the two species have been recorded from the same nest, together ———_ — ee f & Ld " $ ty 7 5 , 3 with hybrids, the name rufo-pratensis Forel being given to intermediate forms.

(Hem., Pentatomidae) to stridulate and that stridulation played a major part in its courtship behaviour. He announced the discovery of stridulation in Lygaeidae (Hem.); both sexes of species belonging to the genera Kleidocerys Steph. and Scolopostethus Fieb. stridulate and sound plays a part in behaviour leading to the formation of hetero- sexual aggregations. 14th JULY 1954. Mr. IF’. Srantey-SmitH, Vice-President, in the Chair. EXHIBITS. Mr. H. D. Swarn—An aberration of Mimas tiliae L. taken in his mercury-vapour light trap, 27th May 1954, at Putney, London, S.W.15.

He also showed figures of its life history from Dr. Beirne’s paper of August 1945 in the Economic Proceedings of the Royal Dublin Society (Vol. III, No. ii). Mr. L. Curistre—Ova of Calophasia lunula Hufn. from 2nd. gen. 9 ex Crumbles, Sussex, stock. Mr. A. H. Sperrine—(1) Larva and pupa of EHarias clorana L. and (2) Larvae of Gonodontis bidentata Clerck, all from South Hants. Mr. G. C. D. Grirritus—Three additions to the British List of Agromyzidae (Dipt.), on which he read notes : —‘‘(1) Liriomyza polygalae Hering. A single mine was taken by Mr. Rumsey at Boxhill, Surrey, on the 2nd August 1953, and given to me. The fly emerged on the 16th. Host-plant: Polygala sp. (2) Phytagromyza populivora Hendel. Lar- val and Pupal stage taken in great abundance at Boxhill on the 11th October 1953. Flies emerged from the 7th March to 12th May. Host- plant: Populus nigra L. This species is distinguished from P. populi Kaltenbach, the previously recorded species off this plant, by remaining inside the leaf during the pupal stage, and by the darker coloration of the 12 pupa. I have included for comparison an adult specimen of populi. It can easily be seen with the naked eye that this specimen is almost entirely yellow, while the populivora are much darker. (3) Phytomyza fulgens Hendel. Larva taken at Boxhill on the 11th October 1953. Fly emerged 20th May. Host-plant: Clematis vitalba L.

Mr. G. C. D. Grirritas—Three additions to the British List of Agro- myzidae (Dipt.), one of them new to science, taken at field meetings of the Society. (1) Agromyza distorta Griffiths. Type male bred from Glyceria maxima (Hartm.) Holmb., in which it made a mine similar to that of Agromyza nigripes Meigen. At the time of capture it was in the pupal stage affixed to the leaf. The fly emerged on 18/5/54, having been taken 5/9/53 at Ash Vale, Surrey. [A description of the new species appeared in the Entomologist’s Gazette, 6: 10] (2) Phytomyza virgaureae Hering. Bred from Solidago virgaurea L., taken at Chilworth, 31/7/54. Fly emerged 14/8/54. This is an extremely interesting locality as none of the 3 species (Phytobia posticata Meigen, Ophiomyia maura Meigen, Phytomyza solidaginis Hendel) normally 30 taken in Kent occurs. Only P. virgawreae was found, which has not been taken in Kent. (3) Liriomyza pusio Meigen. Bred from Tragopogon pratense L., taken at Eynsford, Kent, 14/8/54. Fly emerged 4/9/54. This species was incorrectly added to the British List, but has been deleted by Mr. Spencer in a paper now in the press. This is the first true British specimen! Mr. G. M.

Also shown were four cards illustrating the life history of the bred specimen. The horns of the larva of this were remarkably asymmetrical, as could be seen from the preserved cast larva skin mounted on one of the cards. The specimen of 22nd July came in at the window of the exhibitor’s car, and was secured with a killing bottle. (ii) Aphantopus hyperantus L.

The size of the Somerset specimens ranged from three to four millimetres more than that of the Huntingdonshire ones in the male; and from five to six millimetres more in the female. Care had been taken to make the comparison as fair as possible: actually some larger specimens of the Somerset race have been bred by the exhibitor in previous years. Both series here represented were reared on Plum.’’ Mr. T. J.

Mr. F. V. L. Jarvis—Lepidoptera:—(1) Two short series of Colias australis Verity and a series of C. hyale L. raised in Sussex in the summer of 1954 were exhibited. These series were both from Swiss ova and were raised together in the same room at a steady tempera- ture near to 65° F.; the object being to eliminate environmental variables and so give a sounder basis for specific comparison. Coloured drawings of all stages of both species, made in the course of the ex- periment, were also exhibited. (2) A series of coloured drawings was shown illustrating the various phases of diapause in the larva of Apatura iris L.

Kershaw added the following note: ‘‘At Royston in late August 1954 I saw a pair of napi ‘in cop.’, and boxed both as I wanted one of them for underside. They remained in cop. until I reached home 14 hours later When they separated, I put the underside, which I wanted, in the killing bottle, and put the other (also exhibited alongside) in a separate box, after examining it and seeing that it was a definite female. As the insect in the killing bottle died, its wings opened, and to my amazement I saw that it was apparently also a female! On closer examination, I am inclined to think that it has a male body, but leave that to the experts to decide.’’ (7) Pieris nam L., male with female spots. Origin—Donegal: bred W. H.

Tusss—A continuation of the previous year’s ex- hibit being an F.2 generation of the Polyommatus icarus Rott. of which the F.1 generation had been previously shown. The original parent taken on the island of Tresco, Isles of Scilly, in May 1953, was ab. arcuata Weym. The F.1 generation had shown various confluent forms e.g. abs. arcuata, costajuncta Tutt and basijuncta Tutt either separ- ately or in combination. Two broods were shown of the F.2 generation —one of 7 specimens and one of 4, bred from 36 and 147 larvae respec- tively which had entered into hibernation in the autumn of 1953. Although the majority of the larvae hibernated successfully, progress of the larvae in the spring was excessively slow and many died. Similar minor confluent forms appeared in the F.2 generation although a rather larger number of spots were obsolete than in the first generation. Mr. R. W. J.

From the Council’s and Treasurer’s reports you have heard that the position of the Society is still worthy of a feeling of satisfaction in the hearts of members, and it will be seen that the raising of subscriptions in the previous year has produced the desired result. It is true that some members have found it a burden, and have resigned, and to these I extend the hope that their circumstances will soon improve and that they will be able to rejoin the Society in the near future. The deaths mentioned in the Council’s report include J. A. Walker, who joined us in 1946 and whose interest was in the Lepidoptera, in- cluding the ‘‘micros’’; he was a keen member, although his residence in Somerset precluded him from regular attendance at meetings. . Col. P. A. Cardew, who was a member from 1909 until 1922, and who rejoined us in 1937, was President in 1948 and a very regular member of the Council. He was a lepidopterist whose long field experi- ence enabled him to communicate many interesting notes. K. Barton White was a fairly new member, having joined in 1945, and residing in Devonshire naturally prevented regular attendance at meetings although he too was a keen lepidopterist who was always pleased to meet members when visiting his vicinity. T. L. Barnett, who died on the 6th June, was one of our honorary members; he joined the Society on the 26th November 1896, and was a 51 survival of that splendid race of ‘‘artisan entomologists’? who did such valuable field work, and who took such keen interest in making their own apparatus and cabinets. He was an active field worker until ill health in the last year or two of his life caused him to cease attending our field meetings and his great fund of field experience was always at the disposal of those who sought it. His main interest was in the lepidoptera, but he also dealt at various times with Coleoptera and other orders; he was also an experienced horticulturalist. Capt. P. E. N. Hitchins joined the society in 1944; he was interested in entomology generally and, being an accepted authority on the com- mercial growing of tomatoes and author of much literature on the sub- ject, married his pleasure with his business especially where insect pests were concerned. He was well known to members working west Sussex. V. E. August has died on the 22nd January in hospital, following an operation. He joined the Society in 1936, and was very regular in his attendance at meetings. His interest was mainly in the breeding of insects without any special limits as to order. I would ask you to stand for a few moments in remembrance of these friends no longer among us. Three members of the Society have been honoured in the season; Mr. A. G. B. Russell being appointed Clarenceux King at Arms, and Dr. E. B. Ford being awarded the Darwin Medal by the Royal Society, in recognition of his work on genetics. Dr. E. A. Cockayne received the O.B.E. for his services to Entomology. The regrettable separation of the Society from its library and col- lections, even though it be only temporary, is a matter which we all hope the not too distant future will rectify. Your Council has devoted much time to the investigation of various possibilities, and your Secre- tary has been indefatigable in his efforts to arrange suitable accom- modation both for the meetings and collections, but nothing really satis- factory has so far been found. Other quarters could of course be found, but we would still be separated from library and collections, and as in such circumstances our comfort would not have been such as we are at present enjoying, it has been decided that it will be better that we remain as we are until something really suitable in all respects has been found. Members with material for identification can always bring it to meetings where opinions can be sought, and Mr. Wakely has under- taken to send books to members by post (of course at their expense both ways) on request. In this connection, it will be appreciated that cer- tain of the Society’s rarer items cannot be dealt with in this way, for fear of accident in the post. The simple way would be to collect the books from Mr. Wakely at meetings, returning them at a later meeting. A matter which may come before your council at a not too far distant date is the name of the Society; it has been mentioned in many quarters that the present name no longer describes the activities of the Society as it implies too local interests. The spread of membership 52 (Country members now exceed full members in numbers) would seem to call for some style which would embrace all members at home and abroad, and suggestions would be welcomed by your secretary. Our present localized name might, it is thought, prejudice our position when considered by people or bodies without first hand knowledge of our activities. The field work done by members reflects considerable credit on those concerned, and beside the surveys undertaken on behalf of the Nature Conservancy, which despite the poor season have produced useful re- ports for that body, an outstanding example of concerted effort was the investigation of Hydraecia hucherardi, the life history of the species being hitherto unknown. It is no mean achievement that so much new information on the subject should have been discovered within so short a time of the insect’s first appearance in this country. Much work has also been undertaken with the small Agromyzid flies, and several new species have been added to the British list, with one or two new to science. The occurrence of rare species has been watched, and, I am glad to say, treated with restraint, so that if the ‘‘scientific- ally minded”’ agriculturists do not decide to broadcast insecticide in the vicinity of the first footholds of these species in this country, there is every chance of the continued growth of these colonies. While touching on the matter of insecticides, I think it only right to raise my voice in condemnation of the unintelligent use so often made of these new chemicals, and I attribute the frightening reduction of insect life, both here and on the continent during the past few years, in no small measure to this cause. The matter can, of course, be expanded and laced up with other subjects, but I suggest that the main cause of the trouble is the over-specialization of knowledge and the modern tendency to sacrifice early education to the somewhat doubtful deity of learning. In rectifying this lop-sidedness, I submit that amateur scientific societies play an important part, for membership of such a society pre- supposes a love of the subject concerned which brings the human side and the purely scientific side into a union which is beneficial to both amateur and professional. Members would help matters by protesting as often as possible against the indiscriminate use of insecticides, for many beneficial and neutral species must necessarily be destroyed in the attack on what is often a minor infestation by pests. Here, it must be stressed that extermina- tion in nearly all, if not in all, cases, is wholly undesirable in the light of long-term consequences. I can see the day when the reduction of insects will have reached the point where the farmer will be forced to fertilize his trees by the employment of rabbit tails, as is customary in glass-house culture. He will probably then be faced with the fact that some other scientist has in the meantime exterminated rabbits which would have provided the necessary tails! 53 For the second part of my address, 1 have completed my monograph of the British Oecophoridae, but as this would be quite unreadable at such a meeting, I would like to take up a little more of your time in outlining the progress made with the series of papers on the British Tinaeina, sensu latu, undertaken by members with the ultimate inten- tion of reprinting them as a book on the subject, which is long over- due. So far, papers have appeared covering the Momphidae, Oecophoridae, Orneodidae, Heliozelidae, Choreutidae, Aegeriidae, Gracillartidae (Calop- tilia and JSithocolletis), Dyonetidae, Plutellidae (ex Argyresthia), Psychidae, Lamproniidae and Adelidae. Help is earnestly sought from members capable of dealing with other families, with or without accompanying plates. For obvious reasons it is more desirable that these papers should be accompanied by a plate, and where the writer is unable to find his own illustrator, I will do my best to fill the gap. The families mentioned form a good skeleton on which to develop the work, and my present view is that efforts should be concentrated on the Gelechiudae so that when this family is covered, it will be possible to produce the first volume, say to the end of the Glyphipterigidae, and leave the outstanding families from the rest of the super-family for treatment at a later date, although in this we should not be dog- matic, for coverage of any family is a useful step towards the completion of the work. It is inevitable that small families will be found to have been ex- cluded from between these ‘‘group’’ papers, but these can be collected into plates which could be included not too far from the descriptions. Members will not need to be reminded that to keep this work up to date, it should be based on the authors’ own descriptions where possible, and should not be just a transcription of Meyrick or other works. No work is devoid of mistakes, but no progress is made if these are per- petuated in subsequent works, as has happened so many times in the past. The style most desirable is one which can be followed by the amateur, and also be of use to the professional to fill gaps between the exhaus- tive scientific papers published in very many different places, and in- accessible for the most part, to amateurs. It is still possible that a popular work on the Tortricina may be produced commercially but it is hardly likely that a work on the Tineina would command a large enough sale quickly enough to justify publication as a commercial enter- prise. I trust that in foreshortening my address in this manner I am not setting a bad example to future presidents and I fully expect that many present will experience a feeling of relief that I have done so. The load which one is apt to think should lie on the shoulders of a president has been lightened considerably, if not entirely removed, by the untiring help given by our secretary, officers and council, and I am left with the feeling that it has been all too easy. 54 I have now only to perform the last task of my year in the office with which you have honoured me, and it is with great pleasure that I ask Mr. F. D. Buck to take the Chair for the coming year. Mr Buck agreed to take over the Vice-Presidency from Mr. E. E. Syms, your President Designate, who, for reasons beyond his control, has asked to be relieved of the office, and we are fortunate that your new presi- dent, unanimously elected by your council, was willing to fill the gap. You will need no reminder of Mr. Buck’s energy in preparing such frequent and interesting exhibits and notes on Coleoptera, and it is also good that you should once more have a coleopterist in the Chair. I wish him the pleasure which I have experienced during my year of office, derived wholly from the friendly atmosphere of this society and loyal co-operation of the Officers and Council which cannot be too highly praised.

The party met at Effingham Junction Station and were motored to Ockham Common. The weather conditions were ideal. Soon after their arrival at the wood the members had the pleasing experience of seeing six Polygonia c-album L. settled on a Sallow bush at the same time. Other imagines seen included Xylocampa areola Esp., Panolis flammea Schiff., Gymnoscelis pumilata Hb., Archiearis parthenias L., Biston strataria Hufn., Selenia bilunaria Esp., Aglais urticae L., Nymphalis io L., and Gonepteryx rhamni L. Larvae of Parascotia fuliginaria L. were found, the first record for this common. Other larvae noted were Thera obeliscata Hb. and Ellopia fasciaria L. (prosapiaria L.). Birds noted were Green Woodpecker, Mistle-Thrush, Coal-Tit and Lapwing. Rhododendrons that were in bloom in January were still in flower. Some exceptionally large blooms of the Lesser Celandine were noted. Erophila verna (L.) Chevall. was in bloom. After tea several members explored Effingham Common with the aid of lamps and found imagines of EHarophila badiata Schiff. and Bapta distinctata H.S. (pictaria Curt. nec Thnbg.) as well as many night feeding larvae. BOXHILL, SURREY—17th April 1954. Leader, Mr. F. T. VAuuins. A party of fourteen assembled at Boxhill Station, and it was learned afterwards that two other members had arrived late and did not suc- ceed in joining up with the main party. The day started well with sunshine, but before midday the sky clouded over and a cold northerly wind kept most insects grounded. By the station some wild white primroses were noticed. The party proceeded through the meadows by the River Mole towards the stepping-stones. A mature nymph of the dragonfly Agrion splen- dens (Harris) was dredged from the river. A considerable quantity of the fallen catkins of the Black Poplar were collected, to breed out the beetle Dorytomus longimanus (Forst.). From bushes along the foot of the Downs, immature specimens of the cockroach Ectobius lividus (Fab.) were beaten, and the grasshopper, Tetrix vittata (Zett.), was also found. By beating the yews, larvae of the moth Deileptenia ribeata Clerck, were collected, and lichen covered branches of other trees produced larvae of Eilema deplana Esp. and Laspeyria flexula Schiff. One larva of the Dew Moth, Setina irrorella L., was found on the ground. The afternoon was spent in Juniper Valley, and careful searching among stones by the coleopterists was well rewarded. One specimen of Lebia chlorocephala (Hoff.) was found, and the local, and usually scarce, 78 Pilemostoma jfastuosa (Schaller), was discovered fairly easily by examin- ing plants of Inula which showed signs of having been eaten. It was noted that this species seems to have become more common over the past few years. The interesting beetle, Claviger testaceus Preys., was discovered in considerable numbers in a nest of the ant, Lasius flavus (Fab.). One specimen of Nargus anisotomoides (Spence) was found under the bark of a dead beech tree. Other beetles found were :—Feronia madida (Fab.), Agonum ruficorne (Goeze), Microlestes maurus (Sturm), Hister 12-striatus Schrank, Thanasimus formicarius (L.), Drusilla canaliculata (Fab.), Adalia decempunctata (L.), Hxochomus quadripustulatus (L.), Chrysolina violacea (Muel.), Timarcha goettingensis (lh.) and Lochmaea crataegi (Forster). Hemiptera taken were:—Thyreocoris scarabaeoides L., under stones in Juniper Valley, Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale L., and Hremocoris podagricus Fab., one specimen on the southern slopes. The following Agromyzidae were found:—Melanagromyza lappae Loew., puparia in stems of Angelica sylvestris L. (Wild Angelica); M. aenewentris Fall., puparia in stems of Pastinaca sativa L. (Wild Pars- nip); Phytomyza ranunculi Schrk., flies swept from flowers of Mercurialis perennis L. (Dog’s Mercury). OXSHOTT, SURREY—24th April 1954. Leader, Mr. F. D. Buck. A total of thirteen members and visitors attended this meeting. The weather was dull and cold with little or no sunshine, but also with no rain—in fact, just as it was forecast. The party followed a trail that must have been beaten by thousands of ‘‘South London’’ members, across Oxshott Common, on to Esher Common and the Black Pond, then back to Oxshott for tea. On some cut logs of birch and oak on which a small leathery fungus was growing the larvae of Parascotia fuliginaria L. was taken and was thought to be new to the district. Under the bark of the same logs Silvanus unidentatus (Ol.) was noted in numbers and with it the hemipteron Xylocoris cursitans (Fall.), also a single specimen of Microlomalus flavicornis (Hbst.) and several specimens of Cryptophagus ruficornis Steph. were captured. Galls of Aegeria flaviventris Staud. were found on sallow, and from an ants nest under bark the puparium of the Dipteron Microdon eggeri Mik. was taken. The larvae of Ellopia fasciaria L. (prosapiaria L.) was reported and the larvae and pupae of the pyrale Myelois neophanes Durr. had been taken from the fungus Daldinia concentrica Ces. & de Nat. Some interesting work was done on the sphagnum from the Black pond, and perhaps the best species taken were the Hemiptera, Hebrus ruficeps (Thoms.) and Microvelia reticulata (Burm.). Among the coleoptera taken in this way were Euaesthetus ruficapillus Boisd. & Lac., 79 Lathrobium brunnipes (Fab.), and L. fovulum Steph., Reichenbachia impressa (Panz.) and Acrotrichis thoracica Waltl. The technique here used was gathering the sphagnum from just above the water level, wringing it out, searching it on the sheet, allowing it to dry and searching it again. In the birch stumps Rhagiwm bifasciatum Fab. was quite plentiful though none of the beautiful varieties which have occurred in this area was noted. Amongst the frass and rubbish in some old hymenopterous tunnelings in one of these stumps was taken the larvae of Ctesias serra (Fab.). Working the base of heather later in the day several specimens of Amara. infima (Dufts.) were captured though this scarce beetle, now so well known from this locality, did not evoke so much interest as the capture of a single specimen of the Hemipteron Hurydema oleracea (L.). An excellent tea was taken at the ‘‘Hut’’ by the station and the subsequent discussion on the day’s work was enlivened by the accidental escape of a lizard which had been taken by one of the party during the day—it was some minutes before it was safely back in the tin. Species reported that have not been mentioned above were :— CorzoPTeRA: Bradycellus ruficollis Steph. at the roots of Ling, Feronia diligens Sturm. in wet moss, Agonum gracile Gyll. also in wet moss; Philonthus fuscipennis Mann. at the roots of Ling on Oxshott slope; P. nigrita Grav. in Sphagnum, Black Pond; P. cephalotes Grav. in old squirrels’ drey; Dinaraea aequata Eric. under bark, Esher Common; Dadobia immersa Eric. under bark, Esher Common; Lathrobium terminatum Grav. common in Sphagnum, Black Pond; Ochthephilum fracticorne Payk. in wet moss; Stenus rogeri Kraatz, in wet moss; Tachyporus traunsversalis Grav. commonly in damp refuse; 7. hypnoruwm Fab. in vegetable refuse; T. chrysomelinus L. also in vegetable refuse; Huconnus hirticollis Il. in sphagnum, Black Pond; Cerylon ferrugineum Steph. under bark, Esher Common; Bitoma crenata Fab. under bark, Esher Common; Rhizophagus bipustulatus Fab. under bark, Esher Common; Cylindronotus laevioctostriatus Goeze at roots of Ling, Oxshott, Coeliodes rubicundus Hbst. in wet moss, The following leaf mining Diptera were noted: —Phytagromyza lonicerae R.D. (Lonicera periclymenum IL.), Phytomyza ilicis Curtis (lex aquifolium L.). BOOKHAM COMMON, SURREY—2nd May 1954. Leader, Mr. D. LEston. Owing to the continuous rain very little could be done. The only report received was of the following leaf-mining Diptera :— Melanagromyza lappae Lw. (Cirsium sp., Angelica sylvestris L.), Melanagromyza simplicoides Hd. (Salix sp.), Phytagromyza lonicerae R.D. (Lonicera periclymenum UL.), Phytomyza ilicis Curtis (lex aquifolium L.). 80 EFFINGHAM (BARNS THORNS WOOD), SURREY—8th May 1954. Leader, Mr. T. R. Eacues. It was a beautiful sunny day and the wood was very dry. Parts that were usually wet were negotiated with ease. Galls of Aegeria flaviventris Staud. were found on the sallows in good numbers but about a quarter of them had been pecked out by birds. Much hard work was done turning over logs in search of larvae of Parascotia fuliginaria L. and upwards of 20 were found, mostly fairly small. The usual Spring butterflies were plentiful, especially both sexes of Gonepteryx rhamni L. Primroses, bluebells and wood anemones were in bloom. Nightingales were in full song and the chiff-chaff, willow warbler and whitethroat were often heard. Cuckoos of both sexes were calling. The following Coleoptera were taken:—Cvicindela campestris L., Acupalpus meridianus L., Ptomophagus subvillosus Goeze, Conosomus littoreus L., Anthobium (Lathrimaeum) atrocephalum Gyll., Agriotes lineatus L.; Meligethes picipes Sturm., Epuraea wunicolor Ol. (obsoleta Fab.), Librodor quadriguttatus Fab., L. hortensis L. (quadripunctatus Ol.), Biphyllus lunatus Fab., Cis festivus Gyll., Pyrochroa serraticornis Scop., Anaspis pulicaria Costa, Chrysolina varians Schall. and Anthono- mus pomorum L. The leaf-mining fly Melanagromyza simplicoides Hd. was noted on Sallow. SALCEY FOREST, NORTHANTS.—15th May 1954. Leaders, Messrs. S. W. Humpurey and A. S. WHEELER. Disappointing weather greeted a party of 28 who travelled by coach, to be joined by Mr. S. W. Humphrey later. The day was entirely with- out sunshine; the temperature was well below average for the time of year and the forest was saturated by heavy rain earlier in the morning. The section of forest north east of the crossroads was the centre of activities. Although the lepidopterists searched many sallows, larvae of Apatura iris L. were not found. It was learned, however, that rides near the coach parking spot and the lunch rendezvous are normally reliable places for the species. Better fortune awaited those beating for Strymonmdia pruni L., and some 20 or 30 larvae, about half-grown, were taken. Other records of larvae are:—Strymonidia w-album Knoch, Trichwra crataegi L., Episema caeruleocephala L., Brachionycha sphinz Hufn., Alucita galactodactyla Schiff. (on burdock) and Acrobasis con- sociella Hb. (on oak). A few imagines of Euchloé cardamines L. and two Leptidea sinapis L. were found at rest and ova of the former were common. A specimen of Sarrothripus revayana Scop. was also taken. Coleoptera reported were :—Dasytes aerosus Kies., beaten from dead twigs; Kateretes bipustulatus Payk., Ceuthorhynchus cochleariae Gyll., 81 C. erysimi Fab. and C. contractus Marsh., all on Cardamine pratensis L. The most interesting plant seen was Alchemilla vestita (Buser) Raunk. STANFORD-LE-HOPE, ESSEX—22nd May 1954. Leader, Mr. R. D. WeEat. Seven members attended this meeting, and although the weather was rather chilly with light showers in the early morning, it improved, and at no time did it interfere with collecting. The route taken was the same as on the Society’s two previous visits to this locality (1951- 52). Tea was taken at the ‘‘Crossways’’ as usual, and a search made on the outside of the windows and doors of the mill on the way back to the station. The following insects were noted :— LEPIDOPTERA:—Imagines of EHpichnopteryx pulla Esp., Phalonia smeathmanniana Fab., and Hemimene simpliciana Haw. Larvae of Euproctis chrysorrhoea L., Philudoria potatoria L., Apamea ypsilon Schiff., Anania nubilalis Hb., Lozopera beatricella Wals. and Nemotois fasciella Fab.

Ovonata:—Ischnura elegans van der Lind. CHAILEY, SUSSEX—30th May 1954. Leader, Mr. D. A. Onn. Over 20 members and friends attended this meeting and were rewarded with perfect weather. Mr. Odd met the party at Haywards Heath Station, and thanks to the combined efforts of those with cars everyone was transported to the leader’s house situated a few minutes’ _walk from Chailey Common, where the day’s operations were conducted. 82 Lepidoptera taken included :—Eulype hastata L., Eilema sororcula Hufn., Stenoptilia bipunctidactyla Scop., Lobesia reliquana Hb., (permixtana Hb., nec Schiff.), Hucosma rheediana Haw., Pammene germarana Hb., Borkhausenia tinctella Hb., and Adela fibulella Schiff. Larvae of Thecla quereus L. were to be had in numbers by beating the oaks, which trees also yielded larvae of Asphalia diluta Schiff. and small Polyploca ridens Fab. By searching the trunks, larvae of Griposia aprilina L. were to be had. Other larvae taken were Trichiura crataegi L., Poecilocampa populi L., Apamea ypsilon Schiff. (under loose bark on an old willow), and a few Crambus paludellus Hb. (in old stems of Typha latifolia). Other insects recorded were the bee Anthophora acervorum L.

Phytomyza anemones He. new to Britain was taken on Anemone nemorosa L. The type female of Agromyza rubiginosa Griffiths was swept (cf. Hunt. Gaz., 6: 62). While having lunch, a pair of Willow Warblers were seen to visit a patch of low gorse nearby and, on examining the spot, the nest and eggs were found well hidden among the herbage. At about 5 o’clock the party returned to Mr. Odd’s house, where Mrs. Odd and helpers were waiting with most welcome refreshments after the day’s exertions. Once again the cars were filled to capacity for the return to Haywards Heath Station. This proved to be a most enjoyable meeting, thanks in no small measure to Mr. and Mrs. Odd and their helpers. BENFLEET, ESSEX—5Sth June 1954. Leader, Mr. F. M. StrutTHeErRs. Eleven members and friends attended. The weather was warm and sunny. During the morning the slopes East of the station were worked, but after lunch the party went along the sea wall. Apart from the small amount of necessary repair work which had been done to the mainland wall since the historic flood of 1953, there was by now little trace of damage in that area. Lepidoptera taken or noted included imagines of Chiasmia clathrata L., Huxanthis aeneana Hb. and Adela fibulella Schiff. Larvae of Aglais urticae L. were abundant on the nettles. Also taken were larvae of EHuproctis chrysorrhoea L. (phaeorr- hoea Don.), Malacosoma neustria L., Platyptilia rhododactyla Schift., Coleophora solitariella Zell. and C. conspicuella Zell. and larvae and pupae of Thetidia smaragdaria Fab.

A specimen of Chrysolina oricalcia Mill. was also taken. PRINCES RISBOROUGH, BUCKS.—12th June 1954. Leader, Mr. H. E. Wess. It was a very wet day, the sort of day that was to become only too familiar as the ‘‘Summer’’ of 1954 proceeded. Beating for larvae was impossible; in fact, it was necessary to keep to the road and paths. R4 Nevertheless, the following Lepidoptera were noted :—Ova of Hamearis lucina L. and of Gonepteryx rhamni L.; larvae of G. rhamni, Cucullia verbasci L., Philudoria potatoria L., Gastropacha quercifolia L. and Arctia caja L.; larvae and pupae of Alucita galactodactyla Schiff. on burdock and imagines of Polyommatus icarus Rott., Aricia agestis Schiff., Pararge megera l.., Callimorpha jacobaeae L., and Epirrhoé alternata Miill. BETCHWORTH, SURREY—20th June 1954. Leader, Mr. D. W. THorpPE-Younec. Those attending this meeting were rewarded by having a sunny day. The party proceeded to the downs, where about half a dozen species of our common butterflies were noted, including Pararge aegeria L. Moths reported included :—Diacrisia sannio L., Setina irrorella L., g and 9 (an early date in an otherwise late season), Ectypa glyphica L., Scopula ornata Scop., Cepphis advenaria Hb., Marasmarcha lunaedactyla Haw. and Oecophora geoffrella L. Several species of Orchids were found, including :—Aceras anthrops- phorum (L.) S. F. Gray (Man Orchis), Ophrys apifera Huds. (Bee Orchis) and Gymnadenia conopsea (L.) R. Br. (Fragrant Orchis). The following leaf-mining Diptera (Agromyzidae) were taken :— Phytobia labiatarum Hd. (Stachys sylvatica L.), Agromyza anthracina Mg. (Urtica dioica L.), A. nana Mg.

(Glechoma hederacea L.), Phytomyza ilicis Curtis (Ilex aquifolium L.). The following were swept:—Agromyza flavipennis Hd., A. nigro- ciliata Hd., Phytomyza nigra Mg., P. ranunculi Schrank. About 5 o’clock the party had tea at the Barley Mow after a thoroughly enjoyable ramble in this fine locality. — FAVERSHAM, KENT—27th June 1954. Leaders, Messrs. Duptey G. Marsu and G. H. Younren. This was one of the few days on which rain did not interfere with the outing. The sun shone occasionally and the wind was fairly strong. re &5 Twenty-four members and friends assembled at Faversham Station and were taken by cars to the Faversham Creek where the walk along the banks produced a large variety of insects of all orders. A few common butterflies and moths were seen flying but larvae hunting was the most productive. Several nests of quite small larvae of Malacosoma castrensis L. were found while the larger larvae were plentiful singly and easy to find, near the water. Larvae of Cucullia chamomillae Schiff. occurred on the food plant and some fine looking fully fed larvae were obtained. Some larvae of Catocala nupta L. were found on the bark of willows, while the reeds produced a larva of Nonagria geminipuncta Haw. Other species of lepidoptera captured included :—Homocosoma sinuella Fab., Agdistis bennetii Curt., Phalonia smeathmanniana Fab., P. affinitana Dougl., Hucosma citrana Hb., Hemimene petiverella L., and H. politana Hb. The very local plant Peucedanum officinale (L.) Moench. (Hog’s Fen- nel) is abundant in this locality and many larvae of Depressaria putri- della Schiff. were found in the spun shoots which were so conspicuous on practically every plant. Most of these larva were distended with para- sites and comparatively few moths were eventually bred. By sweeping the large clumps of Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. (Hoary Cress) growing on the sea wall many larvae of Plutella maculipennis Curt. were found, together with the beetle Ceuthorhynchus turbatus Schultze. The latter was added to the British List as recently as 1951 by Mr. J. L. Henderson (see Ent. mon. Mag., 87: 209). Other species of Coleoptera recorded were as follows: Dyschirius liidersi Wag., Loricera pilicornis Fab., Badister bipustulatus Fab., Dicheirotrichus gustavii Crotch. (pubescens Payk. nee Miill.), Harpulus rubripes Dfits., H. tardus Panz., Anisodactylus poeciloides Steph., Feronia (Pterostichus) diligens Sturm., Bembidion biguttatum Fab., B. lunulatum Geoff. in Fourc., B. assimile Gyll., B. articulatum Panz., B. minimum Fab., B. normannum Dej., B. genet Ku. v. illigeri Net., B. varium Ol., Agabus nebulosus Forst., Halobrecta flavipes Thom., Creophilus maxillosus L., Staphylinus (Ocypus) pedator Grav. (the best capture), Paederus litoralis Grav., Stenus juno Payk., S. clavicornis Scop., S. osstum Steph., S. aceris Steph., Bledius limicola Tott., Omosita colon L., Microcara testacea L., Corticaria impressa Ol., Ctesias serra Fab., Athous haemorrhoidalis Fab., Rhagonycha limbata Thom., Cantharis lateralis L., Malachius bipustulatus L., Necrobia violacea L., Anobium fulvicorne Sturm., Laria dulcamarae Scop., Haltica palustris Weise, Phyllotreta nigripes Fab., Crepidodera ferruginea Scop., Chal- coides aurata Marsh., Psylliodes affinis Payk., Rhinosimus planirostris Fab., Anthicus quisquiliuus Thom., Apion pomonae Fab., A. meliloti Kirby, Otiorrhynchus singularis L., Sitona lineatus L., Phytonomus posticus Gyll. (variabilis Hbst. nec Fab.). A number of Salda littoralis L. (Hem.)—adults and nymphs—were found among the debris of the nest of a wild duck on the salterns. 86 Our dipterists reported the following Agromyzidae :—Phytobia artemisiae Kalt. (Artemisia vulgaris L.), P. humeralis v. Ros. (Aster tripolium L.), Agromyza anthracina Mg. (Urtica dioica L.), Phytomyza albiceps Mg. (Artemisia vulgaris L.), P. atricornis Mg. (Lepi- dium latifolium L., Papaver sp., Vicia sepium L.), P. chaerophylli Kalt. (Chaerophyllum temulum L.). Empty mines were taken of Phytomyza lappina Hd. The following were swept: —Phytobia humeralis v. Ros., Melanogro- myza aeneiventris Fall. (in large numbers, presumably feeding on Aster tripolium L.), Phytomyza asteris Hd., Liriomyza strigata Mg., Pseudo- napomyza atra Mg., Napomyza lateralis Fall. Tea was taken in Faversham at The Bun Shop, which kindly opened its doors specially to the party who were in need of refreshment after a busy day. A very well attended and successful meeting—one of the best held during the season. HOLMBURY ST. MARY, SURREY—4th July 1954. Leader, Mr. R. F. Haynes. After the cool, wet weather of recent weeks, it was a pleasant change to enjoy several hours of bright sunshine during this field meeting. The wind, however, continued strong all day and on at least two occasions the party was compelled to take shelter during heavy rainstorms. About half a dozen members and a visitor assembled at Dorking North station and at once proceeded by bus to Parkhurst Corner. From here the party set out along the road leading south in the direction of Leith Hill, examining fences and beating undergrowth. A pair of Mimas tiliae L. were noticed in cop. on a birch trunk. Several moths were either captured or noted, including :—Triphaenau pronuba L., Rivula sericealis Scop., Mesoleuca albicillata L., Hydrelia flammeolaria Hufn., Perizoma flavofasciata Thunb. and Bupalus piniaria L. A halt was called for lunch near Leith Hill and afterwards, retracing steps to High Ashes Farm, a footpath was followed along devious ways through field and woodland to Holmbury St. Mary. Two species only of butterflies were noticed, Pararge aegeria L. and Maniola jurtina L. Having nearly a whole hour to spare before tea, the party explored a large woodland clearing and here a few micro lepidoptera were flushed out of the herbage. Mr. Wakely kindly identified the following species: —Pyrausta (Anania) funebris Stroem (octomaculata L.), Perinephela lancealis Schiff. and Scoparia cembrae Haw. Some larva beating was attempted but results were very meagre. Single caterpillars only of Achlya flavicorms L. and Lymantria monacha L. were taken in addition to a host of small loopers. Some micro larvae were collected: —Mompha nodicolella Fuchs and M. raschkiella Zell. A great profusion of wild golden rod, Solidago virga-aurea L., was noticed growing beside woodland paths. 87 Lastly, a pleasant tea was enjoyed by all members at the Royal Oak tea-rooms in Holmbury St. Mary village; after which everyone returned by bus to Dorking. HORSELL COMMON, NEAR WOKING, SURREY—1lith July 1954. Leader, Baron DE Worms. A fine and dry day greeted the eight members of the Society, in- cluding the leader, who assembled at Woking station. The route taken lay over the eastern end of the Common. The earliness of the season was evinced by the continued presence in numbers of Hmaturga atomaria L. and of Perconia strigillaria Hb., of which the females were most prevalent. That striking Arctiid Diacrisia sannio L. seemed to fly up at every step, but only two females were obtained. In a boggy patch one example of Heliothis maritima Grasl. was taken and a few others were seen. A fresh female of the large Emerald, Geometra papilionaria L. was found at rest and towards the end of the day a superb Hyloicus pinastri L. was observed on a small pine. Plebejus argus L. was almost absent. Galls of Mompha nodicollella Fuchs were noted in the stems of the rosebay willowherb. Small larvae of Anarta myrtili L. were taken as well as those of Dasychira fascelina L. Tiger beetles were in numbers and among the dragon-flies the most striking noted were Anax imperator Leach and Cordulegaster boltonii Don. In the bird world the most notable find was a young Nightjar after its mother had been flushed. Three nests of wood-lark with eggs were found. The very enjoyable day ended with a very pleasant tea at the Wheat- sheaf Hotel in Woking. SLADE GREEN, KENT—18th July 1954. Leader, Mr. C. H. Harps. About a dozen attended this meeting, including members from Herne ‘Bay and Dover. Leaving the station, the party proceeded towards the Thames along a lane in which a fair number of specimens of Sterrha vulpinaria H.-S. (rusticata Schiff. auct. nec Schiff.) were taken. Un- fortunately this local species was not so plentiful as is often the case. Larvae of Hypena rostralis L. were also taken by beating the hops growing in the hedges. A single specimen of Aegeria tipuliformis Clerck was captured. Larvae of Phtheocroa rugosana Hb. were found in the spun shoots of White Bryony (Bryonia dioica). After lunch, a move was made to the Erith Marshes. Here specimens of Pyrausta (Anania) nubilalis Hb., were taken together with Phalonia rubigana Treits. (badiana Hb. nec Schiff.). Several webs of Nymphalis io L. were noted, while odd larvae captured included Phragmatobia fuliginosa L. and Arctia caja L. Full-grown larvae of Gortyna flavago Schiff. were taken in stems of Burdock and Ragwort—chiefly in the latter plant. By collecting flowers and seeds of the Common Mallow 88 (Malva sylvestris) a number of larvae of Platyedra vilella Zell. were taken, while at one spot the larvae of Phthorimaea atriplicella F.R. were found in numbers in spun shoots of Chenopodium. Plants of botanical interest were the vetch Coronilla varia L., which was growing in large clumps, and a well-established growth of Artemisia absinthium L. on the side of one of the banks built to keep high tides from flooding the fields. A specimen of the Syrphid fly Chrysotoxwm verralli Collin was reported. The following is a list of the Agromyzid fly mines noted in this locality: Phytobia artemisiae Kalt. (Artemisia vulgaris L.), P. humeralis v. Ros. (Aster tripolium L.), P. labiatarum Hd. (Ballota nigra L.), Agromyza reptans Fall. (Urtica dioica L.), Inriomyza sonchi Hd.

(Matricaria chamomilla L.), P. ranunculi Schrank (Ranunculus sp.). Empty mines were also taken of:—Phytobia flavifrons Mg. (Melan- drium rubrum (Weig.) Garcke), LIiriomyza amoena Mg. (Sambucus nigra L.), Phytomyza affinis Fall. (Cirsium arvense (l.) Scop.), P. anthrisci Hd. (Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Bernh.), P. cirsiti Hd. (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.), P. petoi Hg. (Mentha sp.). A pleasant tea was enjoyed on the front at Erith in the public gardens overlooking the Thames. CHOBHAM, SURREY—24th July 1954. Leader, Mr. R. M. Mere. Eight members attended, but unfortunately owing to a misunder- standing all did not meet at the starting point, so that there were two groups of members working different parts of Chobham Common who did not meet until nearly 4 p.m. The weather was dull, with drizzle at times, until well into the afternoon when there was a little sunshine. There was a warm S.W. wind. The area consisted of the usual type of Surrey common with heather, gorse, birch and a little pine, but in addition there were boggy areas with large patches of bog asphodel in flower. The commonest butterfly was Plebejus argus L. which was just emerging and in beautiful condition. Six other species of butterfly were on the wing. There were several moths of interest. A faded Chlorissa viridata L. was seen and a number of fresh Sterrha muricata Hufn. taken. Among coarse grasses in the damper spots Tholomiges turfosalis Wocke was abundant. Sterrha emarginata L. and Diacrisia sannio L. were seen.

There were two stages of Anarta myrtili L.— larvae and imagines. Micro-lepidoptera were represented by Depressaria wmbellana Steph. (larvae abundant on gorse), Ypsolophus lucellus F. (disturbed from oak bushes), Nymphula nymphaeata L., Dioryctria fusca Haw., Crambus pinellus L., C. uliginosellus Zell., C. perlellus Scop., Cacoecia pronu- bana Hb., Eucosma cruciana L. and Ancylis siculana Hb. A young nightjar was flushed, reed buntings were seen and meadow pipits were singing. The more interesting plants seen were:—Meliotus alba Desr., Trifolium arvense L., Lotus uliginosus Schkuhr., Drosera rotundifolia L., D. intermedia Drev. & Heyne, Calystegia sylvestris (Willd.)

Although there was dry weather for this meeting, a cold wind was blowing, which no doubt accounted for the scarcity of insects noted. Proceeding south from the railway station, the party were soon on Black Heath, where a few Humenis semele L. were seen. Imagines of the Pug Hupithecia goossensiata Mab. were common and in very fresh condition, but were loath to get on the wing. Two or three specimens of Selidosema brunnearia Vill. were taken after lunch.. These were very fresh and it was felt that owing to the unseasonable weather conditions this species was not yet fully out. During a short burst of sunshine several specimens of varieties of the showy cockchafer Euchlora dubia Scop. were netted as they flew around. This was undoubtedly the best record of the day, and a great surprise to the coleopterists present. One microlepidopteron of special interest was taken, namely, the local Mmiophaga wmbrosella Zell., and a single specimen of Salebria palumbella Fab. was netted. This appeared to have just emerged— further evidence of the lateness of the season. Coleoptera reported included the following:—Calathus melano- cephalus L., Anatis ocellata L., Myrrha 18-guttata L., Luperus longicornis Fab. (rufipes Scop.), Euchlora dubia Scop. vars. frischi Fab. and coerulescens Schrib. and Dalopius marginatus L. A special study of the Agromyzidae by a dipterist in the party brought to light the following species: —Phytobia flavifrons Mg. (Melan- drium rubrum (Weig.) Garcke), P. labiatarum Hd. (Lamium album L.), Agromyza alnibetulae Hd. (Betula verrucosa Ehrh.), A. johannae de Meij. (Sarothamnus scoparius (L.) Wimmer), Liriomyza strigata Mg. (Senecio jacobaea L.), Napomyza xylostei Kalt.

(Erigeron canadensis L.), P. lappina Hd. (Arctium sp.), P. pericly- meni de Meij. (Lonicera periclymenum L.), P. ranunculivora Hg. (Ranunculus sp.). 2 species new to the British List were taken, viz., Phytomyza virgaureae Hg., on Solidago virga-aurea L., and P. hieracir Hd. on Hieracium sp. (empty mines only). It was decided to go to Wonersh for tea and on the way larvae and pupae of the beetle Cassida viridis L. were found on a small clump of Stachys sylvatica. The leaves of the plants were riddled with the small holes made by the larvae when feeding. A very nice tea was provided at The Shielings in the village. —_—_——_ BOX HILL, SURREY—8th August 1954. Leader, Mr. F. Rumsey. Owing to rain much of the time was spent under the dense shelter of the yew trees in Juniper Valley: less effective shelter would not suffice. When not raining it was dull. The Lepidoptera noted included:—Lygephila pastinum Treits., Sterrha dimidiata Hufn., S. trigeminata Haw., Hemistola immaculata Thunbg. (vernaria Hb.), Melanthia procellata Schiff., Hetropis bistor- tata Goeze, Aspitates gilvaria Schiff., Humenis semele L., Polyommatus icarus Rott., Lysandra coridon Poda, Thymelicus sylvestris Poda, Crambus culmellus L., C. tristellus Schiff., Phlyctaenia crocealis Hb., Pyrausta nigrata Scop., P. purpuralis L., and Anania nubilalis Hb.

Inriomyza pusio Mg., new to the British List, was taken on Tragopogon pratensis L. Napomyza lateralis Fall. was swept. SCRATCH WOOD, MIDDLESEX—22nd August 1954. Leader, Mr. T. G. Howarra. A total of eight members and two visitors attended this meeting, and they were exceedingly fortunate in having fine weather in this monsoon- like summer and but for a slight shower late in the afternoon the sun shone for most of the time. About thirteen species of butterfly were seen, including a very worn specimen of Argynnis cydippe L., as well as the common Vanessids, Pierids and Hesperiids which are about at this time of year. The larvae of Callimorpha jacobaeae L. were abundant on Ragwort and specimens of the Antler moth, Cerapteryx graminis L. were dashing madly about over the low herbage in the sunshine and gave good exercise to those who wanted them. Larvae beating was tried by some members but was not very productive, a few common species only being found. 92 The party was entertained to tea by the leader and his wite at their home about half a mile away from the wood and by the kind help of Mr. Webb who ran a shuttle service with his car between the wood and the house members were saved a tiring uphill walk. Afterwards the contents of an m.v. light trap was examined and a few specimens of various species of interest were found amongst the hundreds of Triphaena pronuba L. and Apamea monoglypha Hufn. Though so far as is known no rarities were taken, nevertheless members did not return absolutely empty handed after spending a pleasant day on the relatively unpopular side of London for our field meetings. The following are lists of other species taken or noted:—» LeprporreRa—Crambus pratellus L., €. culmellus L., Phlyctaenia lutealis Hb., Endotricha flammealis Schiff., Gelechia mulinella Zell. Drprera (Agromyzidae)—Phytobia labiatarum Hd. (Stachys sylvatica L.), P. sinderupi Hg. (Carex pendula L., Carex spp.), Agromyza genistae Hd. (Genista tinctoria L.), A. spiraeae Kalt.

(Loni- cera periclymenum L.), Phytomyza angelicae Kalt. (Angelica sylvestris L.), P. melana Hd. (Pimpinella saxifraga L:). Empty mines were also taken of: Agromyza johannae de Meij. (Sarothamnus scoparius (L.) Wimmer), Phytomyza periclymeni de Meij. (Lonicera periclymenum L.). MICKLEHAM, SURREY—29th August 1954. Leader, Mr. F. T. Va.utns. The day was bright and sunny when the party of eight left Boxhill Station and made its way by road to Juniper Hall. By previous ar- rangement, the party was here joined by eight of the students from the Field Centre, headed by Mr. John Sankey, the Assistant Warden, and continued its way along Headley Lane for about a mile. A path was then followed to the top of Mickleham Down. The sky had by, this time clouded over, and remained thus for the rest of the day. The centre of operations was the famous ‘‘Hilly Field’’, but all forms of insect life were scarce. Sweeping the herbage and beating the foliage of trees and bushes were equally unproductive. A colony of the ‘‘trap-door’’ spider (Atypus affinis Eichw.) was found, and two specimens were dug out for inspection. Also found were the beetle, Chrysolina staphylaea L., the bug., Zicrona caerulea L., and the Dipteron, Volucella inanis L. The following micro-lepidoptera were found:—Salebria semirubella Scop. A few moths were netted. Oidaematophorus carphodactylus Hb. Larvae were not uncommon in flower-heads and crowns of young plants of Inula conyza DC. (Ploughman’s Spikenard). Phalonia gilvicomana Zell. A few larvae were found among flowers and seeds of Mycelis muralis (L.) (Wall Lettuce). In a normal season, the larvae are fully fed in the last week in July, so they were exceptionally late this year. Inthocolletis scabiosella Dougl. Larval mines of this local species were found in leaves of Scabiosa columbaria L. (Small Scabious), at ‘‘Hilly Field’’. This is believed to be the first record for this locality. ‘OLOOIN ‘d ‘HD “AC ‘[OOMUMIeIY ‘TV A id ‘ATONVM ‘S ‘ATONVAL PIVUOYT AIS “SUTTIVA “L ‘A d9TCIN W ‘SIMMTID “A ‘OD + ate YUasatd SToquioUl UOPUOT YNOS ‘DapTO] SULIE TITM O1}UI) UL SE (UspaVA\ JURYSISsSy) AOYUVS ‘d “HfL ‘WPH lodiung 4e@ SUTAeIS SIOPISTA [VAI9AVS Popnpour Ayted oL ‘(nc6T ySnsny 6s) AvtIns ‘(TeH todrunyf) tWeyo TAN 93 It was noticed that not a solitary beech-nut could be found on any of the many beech trees growing on the top of Mickleham Down, and the fate of the Tortrix moths, which normally feed on the fruits, was a sub- ject of speculation. By the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Sankey, a most enjoyable tea was taken at Juniper Hall, after which the party adjourned to see the two tame badgers, which were almost household pets. One was particularly tame, and its obvious appreciation of Mr. Sankey’s attentions caused much amusement. The party made its way to the station by way of the fields, after a most pleasant, if rather unproductive, day. The following Agromyzid mines were found:—Agromyza spiraeae Kalt. (Potentilla reptans L.), Phytomyza plantagincaulis Hg. (Plan- tago lanceolata L.), P. ramosa Hd. (Dipsacus fullonum LL. s.sp. Sylvestris (Huds.) Clapham), I. scabiosae Hd. (Scabiosa columbaria L.), P. scolo- pendrii R.D. (Asplenium ruta-muraria L.), Empty mines were also taken of: Phytobia verbasci Bouché (Scrophularia nodosa L.), P. labia- tarum Hd. (Ajuga reptans L.), Liriomyza strigata Mg. (Senecio jacobaea L.), Phytagromyza similis Brischke (Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult.), Phytomyza agromyzina Mg.

(Centaurium minus Moench.), P. lappina Hd. (Arctium sp.), IP. obscura Hd. (Origanum vulgare L.), P. ranuneuli Schrank (Ranunculus sp.), P. vitalbae Kalt. (Clematis vitalba L.). The plant galls seen were: —HYMENOPTERA (Cynipidae)—Neuroterus baccarum L., f. lenticularis Oliv., N. albipes Schk., f. laeviusculus Schk., Andricus ostreus Gir., Rhodites dispar Niblett, R. roseae L., R. spinosis- simae Gir.

Hemiptera (Psyllidae)—Tricho- chermes walkeri Forst., Psylla buxi L. ARACHNIDA (Eriophyidae)— Eriophyes macrorrhynchus Nal., EL. oringani Nal. RIDDLESDOWN, SURREY—4th September 1954. Leader, Mr. S. WaKEty. The heavy rain which was falling no doubt accounted for the very poor attendance at this fixture. One member (with his wife), met the Leader at Purley, and in spite of the wet it was decided to try the junipers on Riddlesdown for larvae of Thera juniperata L. As usual, these larva were not uncommon—mostly full fed. A few larvae of ronodontis bidentata Clerck were also beaten from the junipers. A fat lizard fell on the beating tray from one of the junipers—probably no less surprised than we were to see it. Two Hemiptera were also dis- lodged, namely: Picromerus bidens L. and Nabis apterus F. Larvae of Leucoptera scitella Zell. were found in the leaves of hawthorn. After 94 lunch, with the rain still falling, it was decided to return home. The Leader reported that as soon as he was in the train and homeward bound the weather improved, and by the time he reached home there was bril- liant sunshine, followed by a fine evening! BOX HILL, SURREY—12th September 1954. Leader, Mr. G. C. D. GRIFFITHS. A party of 5 members and 1 visitor assembled at Box Hill Station at 10.50 a.m. The area of the river was first worked, but during the latter part of the morning the party moved to the south slope of Box Hill. Here lunch was had and after it the party worked the woods at the top of Box Hill, moving towards Juniper Valley, which was reached late in the afternoon. The party then returned via Headley Lane and had a very enjoyable tea at the ‘‘Stepping Stones’? (formerly ‘The Railway Arms’’). The weather was fine in the morning, though the herbage was rather wet which made beating and sweeping difficult. A shower after lunch put an end to all hopes of larva beating, and rendered Mr. Leston’s efforts at sweeping for Hemiptera somewhat unrewarding, the only species of note taken being Blepharidopterus angulatus Fall. f. brevi- cornis Wagner—a form not previously recorded from Britain. It was beaten from Alder. The lepidopterists took Lysandra bellargus Rott. and Hesperia comma L. on the south slope of Box Hill, while larvae of LInthocolletis scabiosella Dougl. were found on Scabiosa columbaria L. Mr. Wakely also took interesting larvae on Circaea lutetiana L. The following Agromyzid mines were obtained:—Phytobia verbascit Bouche (Verbascum thapsus L.), Liriomyza strigata Meg. (Centaurea nigra L.), Phytomyza conyzae Hd. (Inula -conyza DC.), P. ramosa Hd. (Knautia arvensis (I.) Coult.), P. ranunculivora He. (Ranunculus sp.), P. scolopendru R.D. (Aspleniwm ruta-muraria L.), P. sonchi R.D. (Taraxacum ssp.), P. tussilaginis Hd. (Petasites hybridus (L.) Gaertn., Ney. & Scherb.), P. vitalbae Kalt. (Clematis vitalba L.). Kmpty mines were also taken of :—Agromyza albipennis Mg. (Phrag- mites communis Trin.), Phytagromyza populi Kalt. (Populus nigra L.), P. similis Brischke (Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult.), Phytomyza agromy- zina Mg. (Cornus sanguinea L.), P. pseudohellebori Hd. (Ranunculus sp.), P. scabiosae Hd. (Scabiosa columbaria L.). Empty mines of Phyta- gromyza langet Hg., new to the British List, were taken on Salix sp. (? caprea L.). The following were swept:—Cerodonta fulvipes Mg.. Phytomyza ranunculi Schrank. WESTERHAM, KENT —19th September 1954. Leader, Mr. 8. N. A. Jacobs. Attendance was poor at this meeting; probably due to the unpromis- ing meteorological conditions. However, the weather remained fine, 95 and those present were able to crowd into the leader’s car.

Emergence figures for the broods concerned have been completed and include natural and retarded emergences in 1954 and 1955. Table IV relates to the corresponding unsuccessful cagings. Similar tables for the pure species bred during the same three years were prepared but do not merit publication, even for comparison. It will be sufficient to give the following summary: No. of broods Av. No. of Sterile in 1951-3 pupae obtained cagings P. bryoniae 5 29 3 P. napi 19 41 17 F.1 hybrid 10 51 16 F.2 hybrid 5 31 5 F.3 hybrid 0 — 8 Back-crosses 10 34 7 It is considered that little quantitative significance attaches to these comparative figures. The best breeding months were largely devoted to the hybrids. Pupae which died after ‘‘colouring up’’ and cripples (generally, insects judged too deformed to fly normally) should probably be counted together as no firm line can be drawn between them in practice. At first, some insects which failed to make good their emergence were neglected and this is one source of discrepancies in the tables. Kmergences without diapause (‘‘summer brood’’) are entered first, followed by emergences of the following spring and summer (including emergences retarded by cold storage) up to about mid-October, followed again by those that were retarded (either from natural causes or artificially) to a still later time. Thus the 8 + 21 + 2 female butterflies entered for 1951-y emerged 22/7 to 6/8/51 + 5/4 to 29/9/52 + 1/12/52. Deaths in pupa, etc., are similarly recorded. Pupal losses ‘‘before colouring’ do include a few pupae of undetermined sex dying after colouring. The following abbreviations are used to describe butterflies in the table: hh : sulphurea Schéyen (hibernica Schmidt) homozygote. Hh: sulphurea heterozygote. aa: ‘‘albino’’ homozygote. Aa: ‘‘albino’’ heterozygote. W.: wild type (southern England). TABLE Notes. 1. Also 1+1+0 sexual mosaics. 2. Also 0+0+1 sexual mosaics (but one P. napi brood, 1951-o, produced at least 24 sexual mosaics!). 3. Six pupae, not cold-stored, lay over second winter. All were 9; only one emerged 1953. gt ln i al 14. 15. 159 Six 2 pupae, not cold-stored, failed to develop in 1952. All deteriorated during second winter. Twelve 2 pupae, not cold-stored, behaved in the same way. Emergences from cold-stored pupae of this brood continued till 27/10/52. Five 2 pupae, not cold-stored, deteriorated during second winter. One of emerging butterflies may have been a nagpi waif. Other was of extreme hybrid form. ‘‘Summer-brood”’ butterflies emerged Dec. 31 to Jan. 12. A 9 (not cold-stored) which had not emerged by Sept. 1953, was then cold-stored till May 1954 and emerged normally. Two cold-stored 2 pupae failed to develop in 1953. Two ‘‘summer’’ butterflies emerged, and one pupa failed, in Jan. 1953. One @ pupa, not cold-stored, lay over second winter. . Single females emerged July 3 and Nov. 7, the latter rather of “summer’’? form. Remaining pupae cold-stored Jan. 27 to Nov. 30. . Six females emerged June 25 to July 3, 1952. One 9 emerged late Dec. 1952 and entirely resembled ‘‘spring’’ insects. . Brood 1953-f was mixed early 1+j+k (same ¢ parent). Six ¢ pupae which lay over second winter all died. Female of 12/12/53 counted as ‘‘summer’’ emergence. Females emerged Nov. 29, 1953, to Feb. 3, 1954, and Mar. 1 to May 10, 1954; most resembled ‘‘summer’’? form. Males emerged April 25 onwards; all were of ‘‘spring’’ form. Three males (in addition to cripples) had transparent patches on forewings. . A female (not cold-stored) emerged as late as Nov. 30, 1954. Two other 2 pupae, put in cold storage for second winter, emerged in June, 1955. . Groups (vii), (xiv), (xv), (xvi) taken together here. . One larva, medium-sized when first seen, produced a definitely hybrid °, but parentage rather uncertain. Eggs apparently started development. . One larva. This produced white ¢ which failed to make its emergence in December—possibly a waif. One of the females lived 54 days: .

A very well-worn cliché runs ‘‘a picture is worth a thousand words”’ which happens to be all very true, and nowhere is it more apt than when used in connection with entomological notes and papers. Few papers could not be improved with one or more line drawings, graphs or maps, and in consequence it is rather surprising that these illustra- tions are so often neglected entirely, especially when with a little practice simple line drawings suitable for reproduction can be easily produced. Often one finds confusion as to what can be reproduced as a line illustration, and frequently editors and printers are presented with a sketch or drawing which is only suitable for half-tone reproduction, or will not reproduce at all. An examination of these two processes will perhaps clear the air. Ling Repropvuction. This process only reproduces plain blacks and whites and any variation in tone between these two can only be pro- duced by means of adapting black and white to obtain an effect of lighter or darker tones. Only in exceptional circumstances can char- coal drawing be reproduced by line process, thus these should be avoided because of the many complications which are attendant upon efforts to reproduce them by this method. Briefly, the printing plate is made as follows:—The copy (i.e. the drawing) is photographed on to a sensitised glass plate which when developed becomes an ordinary photographic negative, this is reversed left to right and printed in the photographic sense onto a zinc plate sensitised with albumen and water and bichromate of ammonia. This causes the albumen-bichromate solution to become hard and insoluble in water where the light has reached it through the negative, the rest remaining soft and soluble. The plate is now washed under a faucet, the soft areas of albumen-bichromate washed away leaving the zinc exposed. It is at this stage where things go wrong with drawings which contain greys and colours. The greys obviously, and the colours because there is no way of registering colour as such on an ordinary photo- graphic plate, will register as a shade of grey in the negative. Now this will give varying degrees of hardness to the albumen-bichromate solution and since when washing the zinc plate the solution must either wash away or remain, these areas theoretically at least must be either black or white—in practice they usually emerge as areas of patchy, irregular black smudges. After washing, the zinc plate has the back and sides protected with an acid resistant and is immersed in an acid ee 161 bath which eats away the areas unprotected by the albumen-bichromate, this leaves the protected areas raised. It is only the raised areas which print on the paper when the block is on the printing press. Haur-Tone Repropuction. For our purposes the most important difference in this method from that of line reproduction is in the inser- tion of a glass screen, ruled with two sets of oblique lines set at an agle of 90° to each other, between the copy and the photographic plate. This breaks up the copy into minute dots, each the same distance from the other centre to centre. Where there are solid blacks the dots are large and sometimes touching, where there are whites they are very fine and apparently diffuse. The size of the dots in the greys vary in direct proportion to the density of the grey. Thus though the whole picture is printed with black ink an illusion of different shades of grey is obtained by the varying size of the dots. An examination of a half-tone illustration under a lens, the one facing page 92 for example, will make this abundantly clear. The detail of production in this process is deli- berately neglected because half-tone illustrations have no place in this paper, however the basic principles can be used in line illustration with good effect. METHODS. There are two basic methods of drawing subjects staged under the microscope, the camera lucida and the squared eye-piece (graph grati- cule). THe Camera Lucipa is a method of tracing by means of reflection and projection. The drawing board is reflected by an inclined mirror through an aperture in the side of the eye-piece onto a prism which superimposes the drawing board and the subject in the field of vision. The subject is then traced on the drawing board. There are a number of disadvantages of which the greatest is the expense of the camera lucida itself. Also the drawing board is tied to the microscope and if the board is moved the effect is the same as moving the tracing paper when tracing direct; therefore the initial stages of the drawing must be completed at one sitting. There is a certain amount of light lost in the use of this apparatus and the size of the drawing is controlled by the size of the objective. Two quite minor points, one, that the pencil is easily lost by moving it out of the field of vision, and two, there is a certain amount of difficulty in obtain- ing accurate compensation for the difference in angles when using a Greenough type microscope. Tue Squarep Eye-prece is a method of drawing by means of com- parison. A transparent disc, squared off on the metric system, dropped into a X10 eye-piece is automatically superimposed on the field. Draw-- ing is carried out freehand, on a board which has previously been squared off, by maintaining the drawing in the same relationship to the drawn squares as is the subject to the eye-piece squares. Comparison with the camera lucida appears to the author to have several distinct advantages; the cost of the disc is only a few shillings, the size of the drawing is not in any way restricted by the microscope but is controlled by the 162 size of the drawn squares, the board is not tied to the microscope, indeed the drawing board can be inverted if it is easier to draw a particular line that way, or the drawing where complicated, can if necessary be spread over several sittings provided the subject is not moved on the stage of the microscope, furthermore there is no loss of light. This method does, however, require a little more skill with the pencii than does the camera lucida, but this is easily acquired with a little practice. It is proposed from this point to deal with the subject from the aspect of the squared eye-piece for the very good reason that it is most likely to be used because of the prohibitive cost of the camera lucida, and in any case the majority of the remarks apply to both methods. MATERIALS. There is a wide range of materials available and we can only base an opinion on what most suits our own particular needs and tastes. How- ever amongst the materials on sale at the various art dealers there are some which are quite out of the question as far as drawing for line reproduction is concerned.

A night-hawk The geographical distributions of our native Carabids are by no means entirely worked out but the information available does enable general conclusions to be drawn. A few species appear to be ubiquitous but the majority show well-marked zones of distribution. Four main groups may be defined as follows:—1, The boreal species, Nebria nivalis (Payk.), Elaphrus lapponicus Gyll., Bembidion virens Gyll., and others which, outside Britain, occur only in the arctic regions of Scandinavia and North America; 2, the boreo-alpine species, Nebria gyllenhali (Schén.), Miscodera artica (Payk.), Harpalus 4-punctatus Dej., and others which are essentially northern species but which occur further south in mountainous regions; 3, the central European species, Nebria livida (L.), Callistus lunatus (F.), and others which reach their western limits in eastern England; 4, the Mediterranean species, notably Hury- nebria complanata (L.), which attain their northernmost extent in south- western England and southern Ireland. These distributional patterns have contributed much to the modern theory of land distribution during the great Pleistocene Ice Age. Three examples are plotted on the ac- companying map. Comparatively little is known concerning the ecology of our Cara- bidae. A number ot species are known to be very restricted in habitat; for example, Callistus and Brachinus generally oceur on chalk-land, 190 whereas Anisodactylus poeciloides (Steph.) and Acupulpus elegans De}. are strictly salt-marsh insects. However, the reasons for these apparent preferences are by no means clear, for Lindroth (1954) has shown that the attraction is not a chemical one; the respective species show little response to changes of alkalinity, salinity, etc. Most probably, the pre- ference is primarily one of micro-climatic conditions which are known to vary greatly with differing soil compositions. Specific predator-prey relationships no doubt play a significant part in some instances. We have two strictly sub-marine Carabids in Britain, namely Aépus marinus (Strém) and Aépopsis robini (Lab.). These minute species are to be found in fissures of rocks situated well below high-water mark, where they are accompanied by a small Staphylinid beetle, a Hemip- The approximate distribution of three British Carabids. Nebria nivalis (Payk. @ N. livida (L.) 0 Eurynebria complanata (L.) + a 191 teron, and several species of Acarina, upon the young of which they are presumed to feed. Another Carabid with an intriguing ecology is the large, black, Sphodrus leucophthalmus (L.) which appears to be con- fined to human habitations at the present time. Presumably the species was originally an inhabitant of natural caves, although it must be admitted that it is scarcely ever found in such situations throughout its present range. There are, however, a number of other Sphodrines (all non-British) which are entirely cavernicolous—a significant fact in the circumstances. Inevitably, I have had to pass over many points of interest but I trust that these brief notes will suffice to show how informative a study of our Carabidae can become. Much undoubtedly remains to be dis- covered and many life-histories will need to be investigated before our knowledge of the group can be regarded as comprehensive. REFERENCES. Allen, A. A. 1950.

It is regretted that in the notes regarding this species in the 1953-54 Volume of Proceedings and Transactions (pages xxxiv, 35 and 51) the fact was not mentioned that the specimen in question was thought to be N. polychloros L., and was exhibited as such, until recognised by Mr. I. R. P. Heslop actually during the course of the Exhibition meeting of 31st October 1953, for the above species. Mr. Heslop at once called the attention of the Exhibitor and of Museum officials present at the meeting to the fact; and his determination of the species was subsequently checked and confirmed at the Museum. A note of the circumstances was published in the Entomologist’s Gazette, Vol. 5, page 9 (January 1954). 192 INDEX. GENERAL. PAGE ADStVACH GE 2%. .2004...i...- Rene Seis. 98 ‘Anis. Guests,af.

XXXlil COUNCIL’S REPORT for 1955-56 Your Council has great pleasure in announcing the conclusion of another satisfactory year, with the Society comfortably settled in its new quarters at Pepys House. The membership has fallen, but only very slightly, and stood at 499 on the 3lst December last. This number is made up of two Honorary, three Special Life, 14 Life, 232 Ordinary and 248 Country Members. The trend towards a larger proportion of Country Members continues. Twenty-three new members were elected, 12 resigned and 12 were struck off for failure to pay their subscriptions. During the year, five members died. These were Mr. H. W. Andrews, Mr. V. E. August, Mr. W. Mansbridge, Mr. A. G. B. Russell and Mr. S. G. Castle Russell. Mr. Andrews, who had been appointed an Honorary Member as recently as November 1953, bequeathed to the Society his large collection of Diptera, of which the Curator gives details later in this report. Mr. Mansbridge was a Special Life Member and had belonged to the Society for 66 years. After eleven years of invaluable work as the Society’s Kditor, Mr. T. R. Eagles has signified his wish to retire from this office. We extend to him our sincere thanks and express our profound appreciation of his loyal service and contributions to the welfare of the Society. We will continue to have the benefit of his long experience in the office of Librarian. Mr. F. D. Buck has consented to fill the vacant office, and we are grateful to him for his offer to accept this difficult task. Our thanks are also due to Mr. H. E. Webb for acting temporarily in the role of Lanternist, which he has been forced to abandon owing to ill-health. Mr. L. Christie has been elected to the office. We are also grateful to our new Curator, Mr. A. E. Gardner, for his industry in improving the collections, and in particular for his work on the Andrews Collection of Diptera. Good work has also been done by Mr. S. Wakely in arranging Field Meetings and by Mr. T. G. Howarth in preparing an interesting and varied programme of Indoor Meetings. To these members, and to many others who have, in the past year, assisted in many ways, especially by housing the collections and library since their removal from Burlington House, we extend our grateful thanks. The most notable event of the year was the finding by the Society of new Headquarters, which enables the library and collections to be accessible again at all meetings. This was due in no small measure to the good offices of Mr. A. W. Gould. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Junior Institution of Engineers for the establish- ment of our Headquarters in Pepys House, 14 Rochester Row, London, S.W.1, the permanent home of the Institution. It is conveniently situated near the junction of Rochester Row, Horseferry Road and Greycoat Place, just behind the Army and Navy Stores in Victoria Street, and is only a few minutes walk from either Victoria or St. James’s Park Station, and only two minutes from the bus stop at the XXXIV Army and Navy Stores. Bus routes Nos. 10, 11, 24; 29; 39, 46, 70, 76 and 134 serve this stop. The building is in the Victorian Gothic style. The lecture room is on the main floor, five feet above street level, and is 42 feet by 28 feet and 14 feet 6 inches high. There is a platform at one end, and the room will seat well over a hundred. The accoustic properties of this room are excellent. The projection equipment of the Institution is available for our use, and includes a sound-producing cinema projector, an epidiascope and Ross lantern for 33” by 33” slides, and a Kershaw projector for 2” by 2” slides. Nevertheless, your Council has decided that it would be in the interests of the Society to obtain some equipment of its own, and a start has been made with the purchase of a Pullin 35 mm. projector, which can be used for slides or film strip. The Society’s library and collections are arranged to advantage in a semi-basement room, where all cabinets and bookcases are easily accessible, and conditions are admirable for reading or the examination of specimens. The lighting is extremely good, and there is an ample supply of tables and chairs. The Society is indeed fortunate to have secured such excellent accommodation. Council Meetings are held in the library of the Institution, which may also be used by members wishing to read without interruption. Our relations with the Institution are most cordial, and we look forward to a long and happy sojourn in our present quarters. The Annual Dinner was again held at the Waldorf Hotel, and the guests were Dr. H. E. Hinton of the Department of Zoology, Bristol University; Dr. T. H. C. Taylor, Deputy Director of the Anti-locust Research Centre, and Major A. Greig, Assistant Secretary of the Geological Society of London, and their ladies. The attendance was less than in recent years, but this in no way detracted from the pleasure of the 78 members, guests and friends who did attend. The Annual Exhibition, which was held on the following day at the apartments of The Royal Society and the Geological Society of London, was again well supported, 311 members and visitors signing the Attendance Register. The exhibits were of a very high standard in interest and presentation, and the year, having been a good one for migrants, produced many interesting species. The special orders for attention were Coleoptera and Hemiptera, and the coleopterists, in particular, seized the opportunity to arrange a good display. The Zoological Society of London once more brought along some of their more interesting insects, spiders and millipedes, and the Infestation Control Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food provided an exhibit of lepidoptera and coleoptera infesting food. The Virus Research Unit of the Agricultural Research Council exhibited photographs, optical micrographs and electron micrographs of Insect Viruses. It was also gratifying to see exhibits by the Tring Museum (Rothschild, Cockayne, Kettlewell Collection), The Colonial Termite Research Unit and the Kent Field Club (Burham Down Survey). XXXV Unusual varieties of lepidoptera were selected by Mr. Howarth and photographed by Mr. Tams for reproduction in the Proceedings. We are once more grateful to these members for their work in this connection. During the year, the usual number of Ordinary Meetings was held, but after the move to Pepys House in the middle of June a reversion was made to the practice of holding meetings on Thursday, which was the custom before the removal to Burlington House. We are much indebted to the lecturers, who provided a most interesting series of talks, often illustrated by slides or films. The Field Meeting programme was the longest in the history of the Society, 28 meetings having been arranged. The exceptionally fine summer contributed much to the success of these meetings. Seldom was rain encountered, but the number of members attending did not noticeably increase. A visit was paid to Rothamsted Experimental Station at the invitation of Dr. C. B. Williams, and Cosford Mill, Thursley, was visited at the kind invitation of the owner, Mr. Loarridge. Other trips were made to localities as far afield as Buxted, Ham Street, Faversham and Dungeness. We are most grateful to Mrs Odd, Mrs. Mere, Mrs. Bretherton, Mrs. Loarridge and Dr. C. B. Williams for their hospitality in providing tea when meetings were held in their neighbourhood. Your Council regrets that the hopes expressed last year that the delay in publishing the Proceedings would be lessened did not materialise. The volume for 1953-54 was not ready until the end of April, 1955, and your Council has well before it the necessity to improve the position. The volume in question contained xl + 161 pp., 15 plates, 7 text figures and 4 appendices. With great regret, your Council has decided to withdraw support from the scheme to survey entomologically, areas in which the Nature Conservancy are interested. Unfortunately the flagging interest of members did not justify its continuance. All members who wish to pursue further this work of surveying have been asked to deal direct with the Nature Conservancy in future. Thanks are due to Mr. H. D. Swain for acting as a link between the Society and the Conservancy during the past year. The Curator reports that the notable collection of British Diptera, bequeathed to the Society by the late Mr. H. W. Andrews, contains many rare species. Work has commenced on the task of transferring the collection from sixty store-boxes to a suitable cabinet, in which all the specimens will be retained. The nomenclature being adopted is that of Kloet and Hincks (1945). Mr. Andrews’s labels and notes, however, are being preserved. Seven drawers, housing over three thousand specimens, have been arranged, and it is hoped to complete the transfer early in 1956. Other important additions include specimens of the Geometrid moth, Xanthorhoe biriviata Bkh.. new to Britain, presented by Mr. W. E&. XXXVl1 Minnion, and an imago, a preserved larva and a pupa of the Agrotid moth, Hydraecia hucherardi Mabille, also new to Britain, presented by the Curator. During the past year, other welcome additions to the Society’s collections were made by Mr. A. E. Gardner and Dr. J. L. Newton (Orthoptera), Messrs R. Eldon Ellison, A. E. Gardner, H. G. W. Taylor (Lepidoptera), A. E. Gardner, R. M. Mere, F. T. Vallins (Trichoptera), R. M. Mere, F. T. Vallins (Hymenoptera), A. H. Sperring (Diptera), and A. E. Gardner (Odonata). The best thanks of the Society are due to these members. Mr. F. T. Vallins has added many specimens to the collection of Palaearctic Lycaenidae, on which he continues to work. The Assistant Curator, Mr. R. D. Weal, has rendered great help by clearing and preparing the cabinet drawers for the Andrews collection. Several members have borrowed, for research, specimens from the Society’s collections, a facility which is open to all entomologists with reasonable cause for requesting the loan of material. The Curator reports that specimens of Neuroptera and Trichoptera are desired; also that many specimens in the collection of Lepidoptera need replacement by better specimens. The following species of Macrolepidoptera are not represented: Notodonta torva (Hb.) (tritophus (Esp.)), Hydrillula palustris (Hb.), Oria musculosa (Hb.), Leucama loreyt Dup., Hadena compta (Schiff.), Graptolitha lamda (lambda) (Fabr.), Cucullia gnaphalii (Hb.), Coenophila subrosea (Steph.), and Plusia ni (Hb.). British or Continental examples of these species will be most welcome. In the summer of 1955 the library was installed in Pepys House. Before the move the Secretary had noted in each book its place in the appropriate bookcase. Had he not done so the task of getting great piles of books sorted into place would have been even heavier than it was. Luckily he was able to be present to organise the work. The President and the Curator helped, and so the books are once more on the shelves and fully available to members. It is confidently hoped that the Library will be used more than ever, as there is ample space for members to sit in comfort to consult the books. Progress has. been made with the binding of periodicals. Mr. E. E. Syms presented a beautifully bound copy of Miller und Kautz, Pieris bryoniae O. und Pieris napi L. This important work is illustrated by coloured plates. Purchases of books have been rather more than in recent years. The list is as follows: —E. B. Ford, Moths; Gates Clarke, Catalogue of Meyrick’s Types of Micro-Lepidoptera in the British Museum, Vol. I and Vol. II; Hennig, Die Larvenformen der Dipteren, Vol. III; Wigglesworth, Physiology of Insect Metamorphosis; Lees, Physiology of Diapause in Arthropods; Crowson, The Classification of the Families of British Coleoptera (a bound copy); Hickin, Caddis; A Coleopterist’s Handbook, published by the Amateur Entomologist’s Society; The Entomology of Spurn Peninsula. ; XXXVI1i The Society has acquired a run of the Zoological Record and is now a subscriber. Other additions to the Library during 1955 are: — By gift:—Royal Ent. Soc. Lond., Transactions and Proceedings of that society, 1953. By Purchase or Exchange :—KEntomologist ; Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine; Entomologist’s Gazette; Entomologist’s Record; Canadian Entomologist; Entomological News; Tydschrift voor Entomologica; Opuscula Entomologica; Zoologiska Bidrag; Mitteilungen; Beitrage Zur Entomologie; Lloydia; Wisconsin Academy of Science, Trans. ; Fieldiana, Zoology; Bulletin, Societe Entomologique de Belgique; Essex Naturalist; London Naturalist and Bird Report; Proc.

A year ago I expressed my gratification on being able to report favourably on the Society’s financial affairs for a second consecutive year. To-night, it is even more pleasant to tell you that in 1955 we have not only lived within our income but have added still further to our resources. CAPITAL ACCOUNT. The only movement in this Fund is the expenditure of £22 13s 2d on a filing cabinet and accessories for the Secretary’s use. He had been authorised to spend up to £30 for this purpose, but found that a second- hand wardrobe pleased him better, when adapted internally, than the regular article would have done. BALANCE-SHEET. In May last £400 in 4% Consols was added to our list of Investments, which now stand at £1,740 9s 3d at cost. The market value of these on 30th December was £1,459, nearly one hundred pounds more than the Fund represented. In cash at the bank or in hand we had some £359, a little more than the amount owing to our only creditor, the printer. INCOME AND EXPENDITURE Income from subscriptions and investment interest at £653 19s 11d is nearly £34 more than in 1954. On the other hand our expenses in- creased, but after a grant of £375 to the Publication Fund there was sufficient left to transfer £35 to the Library Fund and still leave a balance of £2 18s 1d to add to the accumulation of Revenue, which now stands at £303 5s 6d. PUBLICATION FUND This Fund is greatly helped by an allocation of £50 by the Royal Society from the Parliamentary Grant in Aid of Scientific Publications. I have also received £15 11s in donations from members, whom I take this opportunity of thanking again. I am also promised the cost of two plates in the ‘‘Proceedings’’, which we hope will appear before very long. Other income from sales of publications, investment interest, etc., with the grant from Revenue, should be enough to cover the cost of the ‘“‘Proceedings and Transactions’’ 1954-55, estimated at £453 12s 8d. Mr. Coulson having retired from the Council, his place as auditor has been taken by Mr. Stanley-Smith, to whom, with Mr. Stoughton- Harris, our thanks are due for their kind services. ee ar ‘dainsvalL “UOH ‘NOSUAGNGUH “I & Ee ee G L OV tF 9 610 uk és ao Bd 7 puey ur yseo 8s se — i “th. 86 JUNODDY JUITAINYD L OT 608F qyunoov0y yisoded —yurg 1e YseoD oO (ty felore ie “oy s1o1qeq AIpuns ‘6CYV' TF ‘SC6T rod -Ul900d ISTE 1@ ONTVA JOYIVIN—'IAJON ©-6 OFL'lS 6 61 70E YIOIS UAL %FE YO SO OOF ‘(deyjyorq atey} Jo AToWOUL UT ueudeyp ‘TL “I pue ‘WCU SOSSTIN a1eT oy} Jo Yls) UoTPeoOTTIGQNd 0 Tt BLE YIP poyeptlosuopD %% PO SO OOVF 0 LE LIY “* YOOIS PoyePILOSUOD %%% PO SO 009F 0 0 OOT spuog vovUaJed %E PO SO OOTF 9 TT cySF “ YOOIS UOTSI9AUOD %%E DE SCT 16cF ‘(sysonboq o1eyonoqr'y pure ‘UIeW Ysny ‘eureyunoy ‘UTY “PV WMoqoyw ‘oll ‘qqry-ue[yory ‘UMOPYSVY SUIPNpDUT) [e1ouUe*) —jSOO 18 S}USUISOAUT gc6l Arenuele 193 ‘V'0'd ‘SIUMVH-NOLHDNOLS ‘9 “HLINS-AWINVILS ‘A ‘yooLL09 PuNos pue poyIPNy & L 9VOF ‘OOLF AOJ JUOUIdINDA sdWO s,AacvJ1II0S ‘Uo, 94} pure ‘000'sF TOJ pouansuy oie ‘dJo ‘QInvuIng ‘sjourqeg ‘syoog Ss,A£}0TI0G 9 L—'ajI0N 9 ¢ §€0€ Tt 8ba Ivok oY} OJ vain Ip -uodx@] J9AO 9ULODUT JO SsOOXA PPV ¢ L 008F “ gcoy AcenueL ysT Je oOUeTe —jluUnNO0DDV sIN}TpuedxyY pure guUIODUT 00 ge iw in ia s1oyIperg apung a a 3 — QOURAPYV UT PIed suoTIdt1zosqns Git a i Aa uot vITTqud Il6 6oy °° oe a a Axeaqrt —spung [etoods O19 SOSTF 6 61 ¥0E : uoryedTTqnd IT L 090°T#"" in Wee oa de erouey —pung jeydep "GG6L A9QUI990G ISLE 12 LAAHS-JONV1VE syUNOIIVY jo JUSWI}EIS Aya190G AIOIFY [LANA] pue [eo1sojowojyuy uopuoy] yog 9 Bt 96E'TF 9 St 96ETF 0) a i a oa a “" ¢c6t toqulov9d ISTE 7B VULTe| 9 rae 8 see see eee eee eee eee eee soo o0uerUy 9 or 8 aoe cee aoe eee eee puny AIvAIQVT 02 IOJSULA, Oo 0 Sse tr.’ ae ‘rT ua cegy ATenuer Ist Je BoUeTeY G6 Eb CoF -" S; a al poseyoind jJueudinby so "GS6L 49QUIIDIG ISLE Pepus AVBA—LNNOIDIV TVLIdVO a —— TT 6F §S9F TE 6F &SoF EF 83a age oe a $i JoOYS-90uUeTe| 0} polled : Sim pusdxey ce @ULODUTI JO SSoOXY SUleq ‘ooUv[eYg 0 0 GE ~e “ pung AdeIqIT 02 JUCID Bs OF Or SSEES ae ne a puny wormeoitqnd 0} 1UeID a) 9 7 G _ has re a sosuodxy J9suuIq [TenuUuy TT 61 ST ss ~ ed “* sesuedxy UOTIIqIUxA [Tenuuy 0 2686.

Mr. I. R. P. Hestop—The following Lepidoptera all taken during 1955 by the exhibitor. (1) Pieris rapae L., a female aberration, taken in Dorset on 9th September, having the yellow of the underside excep- tionally extensive and deep in tone; the upper side is pale buff and in flight had the general appearance of a Colias. (2) Colias hyale L., a male taken in Wiltshire on 26th September. (3) Aglais urticae L., a remarkable aberration, extreme bellieri Cabeau (alba Raynor nec Cosmovici), having the usual orange-tawny ground colour entirely re- placed by pure white. This type of variation, usually known as ‘‘the white variety’, has been recorded in the Large Tortoiseshell and the Comma, but is of excessive rarity. The specimen, a male, was taken flying among several thousands of typical urticae on lucerne in the exhibitor’s grounds at Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, on 20th August. (4) Limenitis camilla L., a large female ab. semi-nigrina Tutt taken in Wiltshire on Ist August. (5) Apatwra iris L., seven males (one bred and six wild) taken in Wiltshire. The wild specimens taken on dates ranging from 13th to 29th July, one being in as perfect condition as the bred specimen which emerged on 8th July. Mr. T. J. HonryBourne—Three cages of larvae of Indian moths, Antheraea mylitta Drury, Philosamia ricini Donovan, and Antheraea pernyt Guer. x roylet Moore hybrids. Also a case containing male and female P. ricini, male and female A. mylitta with their cocoons and a female Loepa katinka Westw. with misshapen eye mark on the left forewing. Mr. J. O. T. Howarp—(1) Celerio galii Schiff., a female taken in a light trap at Dorking, Surrey, 29.vii.55, and a series of moths bred during September from eggs laid by her (1955, Ent. Rec., 67: 235 and 277). (2) Hadena conspersa Schiff., a series varying from normal through ochreous to slaty grey bred in 1955 from larvae taken on bladder campion at Mullion Cove, Cornwall, in June 1954. (8) Deuteronomos almiaria L., a specimen with smoky grey wings and body and normal thorax taken at light at Dorking, Surrey, 27.viii.55. Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Howartra—Thaumatomyia notata Meigen (DieTtERA). Specimens from a swarm on a ceiling of a first floor room at Arkley, Hertfordshire. This Dipteron and other allied species often appear in abundance in the Autumn in similar situations, sometimes only infesting one room in a house. This phenomenon may be due to 31 aerial convection currents and eddies lifting the insects to a sufficient height where they may find a convenient opening. In one instance they were found in a room on the sixth floor (from ground level) in the Entomological Block of the Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.). The adult insects show a certain amount of phototropism in that they tend to remain near a window during the day and then after dark will walk towards another light source. It would seem as if not much is known about the early stages but apparently it lives in species of grass. Mr. G. E. Hype—Lepidoptera as follows: —Lampra fimbriata Schreb. S. E. Yorks., bred July 1955; Xanthorhoé fluctuata L., S. Yorks., May 1955; Argynnis aglaia L. N. Lines., July 1955; Coenonympha tullia Miill., S. Yorks., July 1955; C. pamphilus L., N.

Dr. KerrLeweEtt showed three drawers of melanics in the Lepi- doptera, from the Rothschild-Cockayne-Kettlewell Collection at present at Tring Museum, which fell into three categories: (1) Industrial Melanics, (2) Rare Recessive Melanics, and (3) Geographic Melanics. (1) Industrial Melanics. These are for the most part insects which survive throughout the day time due to their cryptic protective coloration. 70 species with their melanics were shown, the majority of which could be classed as ‘‘Industrial Melanics’’, their inheritance therefore being as simple Mendelian dominants. Lymantria monacha ab. atra is, however, multifactorial, and the melanic forms of Polia nebulosa; robsont, and thompsoni, are, in fact, the heterozygote and homozygote melanics respectively. In some cases, the genetics are unknown and, in others, it can be said that they may not be considered as of industrial origin, but nevertheless they represent melanics which are occurring in the population at a greater frequency than the mutation rate. The following is a list of species with their melanic forms :— Stauropus fagi L. ab. obscura Rebel.; Tethea ocularis L. ab. nov.; T. or Schiff. ab. albigensis Warnecke; T. duplaris L. ab. obscura Tutt; Dasychira pudibunda L. ab. concolor Stdgr.; LIymantria monacha UL. ab. atra Linstow; Nola cucullatella L. ab. fuliginalis Steph.; Celama confusalis H.-S. ab. columbina Image; Orthosia populeti Fab. ab. nigra Tutt; O. cruda Schiff. ab. haggarti Tutt; O. advena Schiff. ab. nigra Lempke; Polia nebulosa Hufn. ab. robsoni Collins and ab. thompsoni Arkle; Bombycia viminalis Fab. ab. wnicolor Tutt; Allophyes oxyacanthae L. ab. capucina Milliére; Antitype chi L. ab. suffwsa Robson and ab. nigrescens Tutt; Cryphia perla Schiff. ab. suffusa Tutt; Apatele leporina Iu. ab. melanocephala Mansbridge; A. psi L. ab. suffusa Tutt; 33 A. alni L. ab. steinerti Caspari; A. aceris L. abs. infuscata Haw, candelisequa Esp. and intermedia Tutt; A. megacephala Schiff. ab. nigra Shaw; A. menyanthidis Schiff. ab. suffusa Tutt; A. rwmicis L. ab. lugubris Schultz; Craniophora ligustri Schiff. ab. coronula Haworth; Apamea monoglypha Hufn. ab. obscura Th-Meig.; A. crenata Hufn. ab. nigrorubida Tutt: A. oblonga Haw. ab. fribolus Boisd. and_ ab. nigricans Freyer; A. remissa Hb. ab. obscura Haworth; A. secalis L. ab. nigra-flavo Tutt; Procus strigilis Clerck ab. aethiops Osthelder; P. latruncula Schiff. ab. wnicolor Tutt; P. literosa Haw. ab. aethalodes Richardson; Luperina testacea Schiff. ab. nigrescens Tutt; Nonagria geminipuncta Haw. ab. fusca-unipunctata Tutt; N. dissoluta Treits.

The specimens shown repre- sent most of the species found in the area of the Basingstoke Canal proposed as a Nature Reserve. A sketch map was also shown indicat- ing the sort of plant life found in the immediate vicinity. A feature worth recording is that many of the usually common species were far from common during the time occupied by the survey; this may have been due to the poor weather in 1954, and the early part of 1955.

The Round-headed Rampion, Phytewma tenerum R. Schulz, was observed to be holding its own at the top of the Down, where it had been seen for some years. Agromyzid Diptera as reported by Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths are given with the plant on which they were found, an asterisk indicates mines only were taken. Agromyza alnibetulae Hd. (Betula verucosa Ehrh.), A. anthracina Mg.

(Heracleum sphondylium L.), Cerodonta denticornis Panz. was also swept. Although insects were so infrequent, the party had a most enjoyable, though torrid, day. Tea was taken at Dean Farm. BOXHILL—24th July 1955. Leader, Mr. F. D. Bucx. Twenty members and guests attended the meeting on a day that was somewhat overcast and. which remained so for the greater part of the day. On the southern slopes of the Boxhill the lepidopterists took Polyommatus icarus (von Rott.), Lysandra coridon (Poda), Hesperia comma (Li:) and Humenis semele (L.). Whilst the coleopterists in the same area recorded Mordellistena humeralis (1..), Cryptocephalus fulvus Goeze, Longitarsus luridus (Scop.), Tychius junceus (Reich.) and Stenus cicindeloides (Schall.) all by general sweeping. Coleoptera in the woods at the top of the hill included Sinodendron cylindricum (L.) in a fallen beech with the larvae of Melanotus rufipes (Herbst). From a largish patch of raspberries growing wild were swept Byturus urbanus (Lind.) and Eusphalerwm tlutewm (Marsh.). The environments of Happy Valley produced a single specimen of Licinus depressus (Payk.) from beneath a stone, Chrysolina hyperici (Forst.) and Cryptocephalus bilineatus (L.) were swept from Hypericum in a very restricted area, Aphthona euphorbiae (Schr.), Apion loti Kirby, 80 Denticollis linearis T.. 6¢ only by general sweeping and in the flower heads of hawkweed Oryptocephalus hypochoeridis Schiff. was not uncommon. Our lepidopterists reported taking or seeing the following imagines: —TLyeaena phlaeas (L.), Ortholitha chenopodiata (L.) (limitata Scop.), Thymelicus sylvestris (Poda), Salebria semirubella (Scop.), Oxyptilus parvidactylus (Haw.), Platyptilia ochrodactyla (Schiff.), Zygaena filipendulae (l.), Hemimene flavidorsana (Knaggs), Hyponomeuta plumbella (Schiff.) and Ethmia decemgutella (Hueb.); this last named on Gromwell. The larvae included Callimorpha jacobaeae (L.), Scoliopteryx libatrix (L.), EHuclidimera mi (Clerck), Smerinthus ocellatus (L.), Cerura vinula (L.) and Phalonia gilvicomana (Zell.). Diptera reported by Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths with plants are as follows, an asterisk indicates the record is based on empty mines.: Agromyza alnibetulae* Hd. (Betula sp.), Phytobia flavifrons Mg. (Silene cucubalus Wibel), P. labiatarum Hd. (Teucrium scorodonia L.), Iiriomyza cicerina Rond. (Ononis repens L.), I. polygalae* Hg. (Polygala sp.), Phyta- gromyza langei Hg. (Salix caprea L.), Phytomyza atricornis Mg. (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum I.), P. scabiosae Hd. (Scabiosa columbaria L.). Empty mines were found on Verbena officinalis L. which cannot be attributed to any species hitherto known to feed on this plant. They may possibly be produced by Phytobia labiatarwm Hd., hitherto recorded only from Labiatae. Larvae of the two following leaf-mining Muscids were also taken: Pegomya seitenstettensis Strobl (Oxalis acetosella L.), P. steini Hendel (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. and CU. palustre (l.) Scop.). Amongst the plants noted were the Ground pine and the Pyramidal orchid, whilst the only bird song reported was that of the Blackcap. An excellent tea was taken at the ‘‘Stepping Stones’’ tea rooms where the day’s work was, as usual, discussed at great length. a HORSELL COMMON—2lst July 1955. Leader, Mr. R. F. BReTHERTON. Eleven members and friends met at Woking Station, and four more joined later. The morning was spent in working the heathery bog and pine wood west of the Bleak House Inn. The day was fine and hot, but, possibly because of the heat, insects were not flying freely and were difficult to disturb. Among the butterflies, Plebejus argus L. and Eumenis semele L. were common, and single specimens were taken of Limenitis camilla L., Polygonia c-album L., and Lycaena phlaeas L. ab. caeruleopunctata Ruhl. Among the moths, Plusia gamma L. was a plague, there were numbers of Lygris testata L., Eupithecia goossensiata Mabille, and Anarta myrtilli L., and a single specimen of Sterrha sylvestraria Hubn. Besides several larvae of Macrothylacia rubi L., there was a nearly full-fed Saturnia pavonia L., miserably decorated 81 with three white eggs of a parasitic fly or ichneumon. On this the hymenopterous expert of the party performed (during tea) a skilful surgical operation, and it is hoped that the patient’s life will be saved. The Sundew, Drosera rotundifolia L., was abundant in the bog, and it was interesting to find also the much scarcer D. anglica Huds. After lunch the party adjourned to an abandoned and waterfilled gravel pit on the outskirts of Ottershaw, which seemed pleasantly cool after the heath. A few specimens of the fine Plume Moth, Platyptilia ochrodactyla Schiff., were disturbed from clumps of tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.), and a number of pupae of Nonagria typhae Thunb. were obtained. The botanists were pleased by the sight of a flourishing colony of young plants of the Royal Fern (Osmunda regalis L.), which is by no means so rare in this district as is often stated. A list of diptera determined by Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths is appended. *Indicates empty mines only :— Agromyza alnibetulae* Hd. (on Betula verrucosa Ehrh.), A. johannae* de Meij. (on Sarothamnus scoparius (L.) Wimmer), Phytomyza atricornis Mg. (on Hieracium ‘‘sabaudum’’), P. tanaceti Hd. (on Tanacetum vulgare L.). Larvae of an Agromyza sp. were found feeding in the leaves of young seedlings of Ulex europaeus L. (a plant from which no Agromyzid has hitherto been recorded). Prof. Hering has examined these larvae and states that they probably are those of Agromyza johannae de Meij. (which normally feeds on Broom). Mrs. Bretherton entertained the party to tea at Ottershaw Cottage. Afterwards, the botanists visited a spot on a neighbouring common where the beautiful North American ericaceous plant, Kalmia polifolia Wangenh., is naturalised. CHILWORTH—6th August 1955. Leader, Mr. S. WAKELY. Owing to illness, Mr. Rumsey was unable to be leader, so Mr. S. Wakely acted in his stead. The party moved off from Chilworth Station soon after 11 o’clock and proceeded to Black Heath. On the way a single larva of Phtheocroa rugosana Hb. was found among spun leaves of Bryonia dioica Jacq. The weather being so very warm very little beating for larvae was attempted. Two tortrices were noticed in numbers among the heather and small firs. Examples netted proved to be Huxanthis angustana Hb. and Eulia politana Haw. Butterflies noted were Plebejus argus L. and Eumenis semele L. Walking through the heather disturbed many specimens of Eupithecia goossensiata Mab., together with a few Selidosema brunnearia Vill. Some of the latter were quite fresh, while others were very rubbed and worn. A lovely fresh specimen of the local Sterrha sylvestraria Hb. was netted, together with the more common Lygris testata L. 82 The ground being so very parched and dry it was decided to descend the lane leading to Shamley Green for about a quarter of a mile, where some swampy ground was visited. Here larvae of Elachista paludum Frey. were found in leaves of Carex paniculata L. and a single moth was bred a month later. Interesting plants noted were Corydalis claviculata D.C., Valeriana officinalis L., and Galeopsis tetrahit. Retracing our steps, we visited a hilly field bordered by Derry Wood, where a number of plants of Verbascum nigrum L. in full bloom were admired. A surprise here was the glimpse of a single specimen of Strymonidia w-album Knoch busy on a head of ragwort. It was a rather shabby specimen and no great loss to the member who attempted to net it—and missed! By searching some plants of Lychnis alba Mill several larvae of Hadena bicruris Hufn. and Perizoma affinitata Steph. were discovered. Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths’s Agromyzid captures were as follows: — Mines.—Phytobia posticata* Mg. (on Solidago virgaurea UL.), P. verbasct* Bouché (on Scrophularia nodosa L.), P. sp. (on Carex paniculata L.), Liriomyza trifoli Burgess (on Medicago sativa L.), Phytagromyza hendeliana* Her. (on Lonicera periclymenum L.), Phytomyza calthophila Hg. (on Caltha palustris L.), P. sp. nr. cecidonomia Hg. (on Hypochaeris radicata L.), P. virgaureae* Hg. (on Solidago virgaurea L.). *Indicates an empty mine. Also the following were swept: —Phytobia atra Mg., P. pygmaea Mg., Cerodonta fulvipes Mg., Liriomyza flaveola Fall., Phytomyza ranunculi Schrank. Tea was provided at Lockners Farm Guest House, where, in view of the warm day, the huge outsize in teapots was much appreciated—at least by the members who had not to perform the weight-lifting act of keeping the cups filled. On leaving, the party took note of two huge Sequoia trees or Wellingtonias growing on each side of the house, and were told that the property was at one time part of Albury Park, which is still noted for its magnificent trees from all parts of the world. BETCHWORTH—14th August 1955. Leader, Mr. D. W. THoRpPE-YounG. After a very heavy rain storm the previous night and the morning being dull and damp, the leader was pleased to find three other members at the rendezvous, and two of these had come all the way by car from south Hampshire. Three more joined the party having arrived later. The ground was muddy and the herbage very wet, but in spite of this a few Aspitates gilvaria Schiff. were disturbed, including a female which is always more difficult to flush than the other sex. Scopula ornata Scop. was also taken. It was not until 3.30 p.m. that the sun broke through, and very soon numbers of the local Hesperia comma L. were to be seen on the wing, some of the members taking this species for the first time. Other butterflies seen were Colias croceus Fourc. and Humenis semele LL. One member reported taking Horisme 83 vitalbata Schiff., and an unusual capture was a specimen of Loxostege sticticalis L. on the downs. On the railway bank large clumps of Campanula trachelium L. were noticed, and a small bag of seedheads collected by one of the party was later found to contain numbers of the larvae of Eupithecia denotata Hueb, Another interesting find was the larvae of Oidaematophorus carphodactylus Hueb. in the flowers of Inula conyza DC. A number of moths were bred later, but a large percentage of the larvae were parasitized. Several of the party ascended the downs and then crossed the top of a large chalk quarry to the old bomb crater that caused much interest in botanical circles some years ago owing to the numbers of rare and non-indigenous plants found to be growing there. On the way masses of Galeopsis tetrahit L. were seen in flower. Some of the usual plants were still flourishing in the crater itself, particularly the large-leaved Inula helenium L. (EKlecampane), the plants noted were Digitalis lanata Ehrh., Dosycnium herbaceum Vill. (Legume), and Beta trigyna Waldst. & Kit. There is a large pond between the railway and the downs and not far from this a number of Foxglove plants were discovered—two in bloom. These had evidently sprung up from seed of one of the bomb crater species, dropped there by someone previously. The flowers were a deep yellow spotted with reddish-brown and very striking, the species being thought to be Digitalis ferruginea L. Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths took and determined the following Diptera, an asterisk indicates that only empty mines were found. Agromyza dipsact* Hd. (on Dipsacus fullonum L. s.sp. sylvestris (Huds.) Clapham), A. nana Mg. (on Trifolium pratense L.), Phytobia pygmaea Mg. (on Dactylis glomerata L.), Phytobia sp. (on Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) Beauv.), Liriomyza centaureae* Hg.

DC.). COSFORD MILL, THURSLEY, SURREY—2\1st August 1955. Leader, Mr. F. T. VAuuins. This meeting was arranged on the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Loarridge, the owners of Cosford Mill. The mill, in an extreme state of dereliction, was purchased by them a few years ago, with 84 the adjoining land of about thirteen acres. By dint of much hard work and the exercise of good taste, they have transformed it into a charming, comfortable home. Where conditions allowed, ancient features of antiquarian interest have been carefully preserved. Parts of the building are reputed to date from the fifteenth century, and most of the mill machinery, mainly constructed of wood, is still intact. Unfortunately, the overshot wheel was taken for scrap metal during the last war. The mill is situated at the lower end of a lake, which formerly supplied it with power. This lake is in a ravine, one side of which is very steep and dangerous, and difficult to explore. The other side, which has a more gentle slope, gives birth to a number of springs, which feed the lake and create a considerable area of swamp. Many water-fowl live and breed in this almost inaccessible spot. The land attached to Cosford Mill has never been cultivated, and the tangled undergrowth and marshy conditions render much of it almost impenetrable. There is much fallen and decaying timber. Alders, willows and sallows abound. It is the intention of the owner to treat his estate as a nature reserve, and to retain it in its present condition, except for a little judicious thinning. Sixteen members and friends were collected by car at Milford Station, or drove direct to the mill. The day was extremely hot and promising. The party was first escorted along the main path skirting the rim of the ravine, and was then left to collect at will. Butterflies were very common, although nothing unusual was taken. It was particularly pleasing to see large numbers of Vanessa atalanta (L.) sunning them- selves on the flowers of Hemp Agrimony, and several specimens of the Dragonfly, Aeshna grandis (L.) were flying up and down the lake. The coleopterists found a number of interesting species, details of which are given. A Kingfisher was observed, and was seen to make its characteristic flat dive, with wings outstretched, when taking a fish from the water. Permission had been granted for the party to visit the grounds of the adjoining estate of Cosford House, with its beautiful lake, bordered with rhododendron bushes. Owing to the increasingly oppressive heat, relatively little collecting was done after lunch, and many of the party spent the afternoon watching the shoals of perch from the shady bank of the lake. Tea was most generously provided at the mill by Mrs. Loarridge, and terminated what had been a most delightful day.

Hymenoptera.—Tenthredo scrophulariae L. (Sawfly), Ancistrocerus parietum (L.) (Solitary Wasp). Diptera.—Episyrphus balteatus (Degeer), larvae of the Trypetid Spiographa immaculata Macq. were also found mining the leaves of Taraxacum sp. Agromizidae determined by Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths, with the plants on which they were taken; *indicates the mines only taken. Agromyza ? airae Karl (Deschampsia caespitosa (L.) Beauv.), A. anthracina Mg.

Lepidopterists outnumbered coleopterists at this meeting, and many interesting insects were noted. Butterflies seen were: Aglais urticae L., Vanessa atalanta L., Lycaena phlaeas L. and Polyommatus icarus Rott. Moths taken included one Agrotis ipsilon Rott., Ortholitha chenopodiata L. and Aspitates ochrearia Ross., the latter being fairly common. Eight fine larvae of Smerinthus ocellatus L. were taken on a small apple tree growing on the sea wall. Larvae of Notodonta ziczac L., Scoliopteryx libatrix L., Phalera bucephala L., and Biston betularia L. were found on sallow. By sweeping and searching the flowers of 86 Sea Aster numbers of larvae of Cucullia asteris Schiff. were taken, ranging from very small ones to others practically full fed. Interesting micro larvae found included Phaloma hybridella Hb. (common in flowers of Picris echioides L.) and Telphusa scriptella Hb. (common on maple by the roadside leading to the marshes, feeding between neatly folded leaves). A few larvae in rolled elm leaves turned out to be Cacoecia pronubana Hb. A specimen of the large water beetle Hydrophilus piceus (L.) was found at the top of a flowering stem of Aster tripolium L., and it seemed rather a mystery how it got there. Not long after, as the party were settling down for lunch overlooking large clumps of the Sea Aster, suddenly another specimen of this local beetle was seen scrambling up a stem. It reached the top in a matter of seconds and the agility of this clumsy-looking insect was remarkable. Presumably both these specimens had recently emerged from pupae and were seeking a convenient site to take off, in spite of the fact that its normal flight time is after dark. Both specimens were females and the ditch nearby was brackish, as the sea water ascended it at every high tide. Other beetles taken were: Hlaphrus cupreus Dufts., Bembidiwm guttula (F.), B. obtusum Serv., Dichetrotrichus gustavu Ch., Pogonus chalceus (Marsh.), Amara convexiuscula (Marsh.), Agonum marginatum (l.), A. ruficorne (Goeze), A. fuliginosum (Panz.), A. gracile (Gyl.), Coelostoma orbiculare (F.), Hydrobius fuscipes (L.), Anthocomus rufus (Herbst), Olibrus millefolii (Payk.), Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata (L.), Coccidula rufa Hb., C. scutellata (Herbst), Anisosticta novemdecim- punctata (L.), Coccinella undecimpunctata L., Thea vigintiduopunctata (L.), Phaedon tumidulus (Germ.), Sitona regensteinensis (Herbst), 8. lineatus (L.), S. hisyidulus (F.). The following Agromyzidae are recorded by Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths. *indicates empty mines only. Agromyza nana Mg. (Medicago sativa L.), Phytobia humeralis* v. Ros. (Aster tripoium L.), P. ? morosa Mg. (Scirpus maritimus L.), Iiriomyza amoena* Mg. (Sambucus nigra L.), I. cicerina* Rond. (Ononis repens I..), L. pusio Mg. (Tragopogon pratensis L.), Phytomyza affinis* Fall. (Cirsiwm arvense (L.) Scop.), P. sp. nr. cecidonomia Hg. (Hypochaeris radicata L.). Also Agromyza nana Mg. was swept. Once again a pleasant tea was had in the centre of the village and handy to the station for our return. OCKHAM—23rd September 1955. Leader, Mr. T. R. Eacres. The long dry spell which had preceded this meeting had altered many of the familiar spots. Small ponds had completely dried up and it was possible to walk over them on the mud which was hard and broken up by great cracks. It was thus easy to examine the ferns growing on the sides of the ponds and in the usually boggy places — ae 87 round about. In addition to the common male fern there were some handsome specimens of Dryopteris spinulosa (Mull.) Watt and D. austriaca (Jacq.) Woy. At times we found ourselves using the dried up stream beds as footpaths. Possibly another effect of the wonderful summer was the strikingly abundant crop of fruit on the Honeysuckles (Lonicera periclymenum L.) and on the Alder buckthorns (Frangula alnus Mill.). A number of half-grown larvae of Clostera curtula L. were found by looking for sewn up leaves on Aspen. As is often the case these were all on one bush: there seemed to be none on the bushes nearby. Beating the birches and sallows for Lepidopterous larvae was fairly productive. Drepana lacertinaria L., Cosymbia pendularia Clerck, Notodonta ziczac L., Biston betularia L., Ectropis bistortata Goeze and Lomaspiuis margmata L. Other larvae noted were Apatele megacephala F. and Bena fagana F. (prasinana Auct nec L.). One Colias croceus Foure. was taken and several Lygris testata L. were flushed from the heather. The members beating for larvae reported several examples of Meconema thalassina Deg. (Orth.) and an imago of the moth Scoparia truncicolella Staint. A series of imagines of Crambus hamellus Thnbg. was taken. Some of the party went to the Wisley pond to see if the introduced Calla palustris L. was still there. It was flourishing and there were a large number of clusters of fruit. Near by there were plants of Typha latifolia L. and the dead central leaves made it clear that they had been attacked by the larva of Nonagria typhae Thnbg. One would expect that the moths would all have emerged some time ago but in fact only one empty pupa case was found. A member of the party wanted the moth and in a very short time enough pupae were collected. By searching the leaves of Solanum dulcamara L. in a spot where ordinarily gum boots would have been needed a good supply of the larvae of the Plutellid Acrolepia autumnitella Curt. was secured. They could readily be seen by holding blotched leaves up to the light. Many promising spun leaves of birch were collected and a few Gracillarwu populetorum Zell. bred later. On the way back to the station a colony of Peronia boscana F. was found on some elms. Larvae of Homoeosoma binaevella Hb. were found on thistles. Two conspicuous members of the other orders were the large robber fly Asilus crabroniformis L. and the long-horned grasshopper Meconema thalassina Deg. The great spotted woodpecker was heard many times: apart from this not much bird life was noted. Orchis ericetorum E. F. Linton, Carex pseudocyperus L. and Scutellaria minor L. were the most interesting plants. It was too dry for fungus and nothing was seen except a very few Russula nigricans Fr., R. cyanoxantha (Schaeff.) Fr. and Lactarius pyrogalus (Bull.) Fr. As for many years tea was taken at the rooms near Effingham Junction Station. | 88 SPARROW COMMON, near BROMLEY, KENT—11th September 1955. Leader, Mr. R. F. Haynes. In spite of extensive building development in the immediate neighbourhood, this locality which consists of three large fields bordered by thick woodland of mixed vegetation, has so far remained very rural. The area was last visited by this Society in September 1950. The weather for this meeting turned out to be dull, cloudy and rather cool all day, but fortunately no rain fell until early evening, so that collecting did not suffer. Five members assembled at the ’bus stop outside Bromley South station and proceeded by bus to Southborough, ‘whence a walk of about 3 of a mile brought them to the collecting ground. Two late arrivals joined the party during the day. Those who had brought beating trays worked birches, oaks, sallows, and aspens and among a mixed bag of larvae the following species were identified :—Notodonta ziczac L., N. dromedarius L., Phalera bucephala L., Clostera pigra Hufn., Drepana binaria Hufn., D. falcataria L., D. lacertinaria L., Cilix glaucata Scop., Apatele megacephala Schiff., — Melanchra persicariae L., Ceramica pisi L., Comibaena pustulata Hufn., Cosymbia albipunctata Hufn. (pendularia auctt.), Opisthograptis luteolata L., and Biston betularia L. The discovery of a pupa of Gortyna flavago Schiff. (ochracea Hueb.) inside a thistle stem led to an extensive search and another six were later extricated. Very few butterflies were seen on the wing, only Aglais urticae L., Pararge aegeria L. and Coenonympha pamphilus L. A single Plusia gamma L. moth was noted and one Deuteronomos fuscantaria Haw. was found. The following micros were reported :—Larvae.—Leucoptera lotella Staint. (in leaves of lotus), Coleophora therinella Tengst. (on thistles), Gracilaria stigmatella Fab. (on sallows), Eucosoma pflugiana Haw. (in thistle stems), and Aristotelia suffusella Dougl. (on poplar). Imagines, Eucosma ramella L. and Cacoecia podana Scop. The party gradually made their way over to Petts Wood station where a bus brought members back to Bromley for tea. HOLMBURY ST. MARY—17th September 1955. Leader, Mr. S. WakELy. The weather was on its best behaviour for this fixture and those attending enjoyed a really warm sunny day amid woodlands in one of the most beautiful parts of Surrey. It was a pleasant surprise as the weather for several days previously had been showery and cold. Leaving the village green, the party took one of the paths leading towards Leith Hill and soon found an area where Solidago virgaurea L. (Golden .Rod) was growing in abundance. Some hours were spent at this spot and many pug larvae were taken from the flowers and seed-heads of this plant. These larvae varied considerably in size, colour and markings and the general opinion was that several different species were 89 represented. The majority were probably the common Eupithecia absinthiata Clerck. The Solidago plants were also swarming with a species of Aphis which left a reddish stain on the fingers when handling the plants. After lunch, other paths were explored and various interesting insects and plants noted. Some large clumps of an introduced shrub were seen and identified by our botanical members as Gaultheria shallon Pursh, a genus of plants in the order Ericaceae. Several moths were taken, including one Agrochola circellaris Hufn. which dropped on toa beating tray, Hypena proboscidalis L. (very small specimen, probably second brood), Dysstroma citrata L., Emmelina monodactylus L., and KHucosma solandriana L. larvae were fairly plentiful. In addition to the Pugs on Solidago, larvae of the following species were reported: Vanessa atalanta L. (a number on nettles by the roadside), Notodonta ziczac L. (a single larva on aspen), Drepana cultraria F. (on beech), Bena fagana F. (prasinana Auct nec L.) (common on beech), Colocasia coryli L. (also common on beech), Cosymbia linearia Hb. (on beech), Mompha terminella Westw. (a few in leaves of Circaea lutetiana L. (Enchanter’s Nightshade)), and Coleophora virgaurea Stt. (common on Golden Rod). A number of larvae were also found under slight web on leaves of Teucrium scorodonia L. Some of these were subsequently bred and proved to be Perinephela lancealis Schiff., the foodplant of which is usually given as Hemp Agrimony (Hupatorium cannabinum I..). A single specimen of the Dipteron Phaonia basalis Zett. was taken, and various Agromyzid larvae taken and recorded by Mr. G. C. D. Griffiths with the plants on which they occurred are as follows:— Phytobia flavifrons Mg. (Melandrium rubrum (Weig.) Garcke), P. labiatarum Hd. (Teucriwm scorodonia L.), P. posticata Mg. (Solidago virgaurea L.), Liriomyza sp. ? eupatorii Kalt. (Solidago virgaurea L.), L. violiphaga Hd. (Viola riviniana Rehb. or reichenbachiana Jord.), Phytomyza ? crassiseta Zett. (Veronica officinalis L.), P. virgaureae Hg. (Solidago virgaurea L.). Also the following two leaf-mining Trypetids were taken: Spilographa immaculata Macq. (Taraxacum sp.), S. spinifrons Schroeder (Solidago virgaurea L.). Tea was provided at the Royal Oak off the village green, served in a pleasant room with a case of foreign butterflies hanging on the wall —rather appropriate for an entomological gathering. BENFLEET—24th September 19565. Leader, Mr. R. D. Wat. The few who attended this meeting were rewarded by having a fine day, and many interesting species were reported. The higher ground above the salterns was visited first, and a few larvae of Laspeyresia funebrana Treits. were found in fruits of the blackthorn. By gathering wild rose fruits (hips) numbers of larvae of Laspeyresia roseticolana 90 Zell. were taken, together with larvae of the Trypetid Rhagoletis alternata Fal. In the seed heads of the wild carrot larvae of Laspeyresia rufilana Westw. were found, while the seed heads of Picris echioides L. produced larvae of Phalonia hybridella Hueb. Descending to the salterns, a few larvae of Goniodoma limoniella Stt. were found on the Sea Lavender. Larvae of Cucullia asteris Schiff. were taken on the flowers of Sea Aster, and by gathering a bagful of the same flowers numbers of larvae of Hucosma aemulana Schlag. were obtained, together with larval cases of Coleophora asteris Muhlig. (tripoliella Hodgk.) and crowds of the Trypetid Paroxryna plantaginis Hal. Larvae of Anania nubilalis Hueb. were once again quite common in the stems of Artemisia vulgaris L. In the afternoon the party were taken by one of the members in his car to Canvey Island, where a few more larvae of Laspeyresia funebrana Treits. were found in wild sloes. Nests of small larvae of Huproctis chrysorrhoea L. were also to be found, in spite of the attempts of the local authorities to wipe this species out. General sweeping produced the beetles Melanophthalma gibbosa (Herbst), Longitarsis jacobaeae (Waterh.), Chaetocnema concinna (Marsh.), Bruchus atomarius (L.), and Mecinus pyraster (Herbst) in numbers and a single specimen of Apion ononis Kirby. Tychius meliloti S. were swept sparingly from Melilotus officinalis Willd. Amara convexiuscula (Marsh.) was very common climbing the stems of Atriplex portulacoides L. and several pairs were taken in cop. On mud Bembidion minumum F. was found in plenty and a single specimen of Leistus ferrugineus (L.) was taken under a piece of concrete. A single Hemipteron, Coreus marginatus L. was reported. Returning to Benfleet at about 4.30 p.m., a very nice tea was enjoyed at the Hoy and Helmet. RANMORE—2nd October 1955. Leader, Mr. F. M. SrrutHers. Seven members and friends attended the meeting. The weather was generally cloudy, but fine and warm. During a few glimpses of sunshine several Pararge aegeria L. were seen flying in the glades also a few Lycaena phlaeas L. and a solitary Vanessa atalanta L. Larvae were fairly plentiful and beating the beeches produced an abundant supply of the larvae of Drepana cultraria F., also the larvae of Colocasia cory L. and Bena fagana F. (prasinana Auct nec L.). Beating oak produced larvae of Apatele psi L. and Biston betularia L. Larvae of Cilix glaucata Scop. were beaten from hawthorn, Deileptenia ribeata Clerck (abietaria. Hiibn.) from yew and a single larva of Drepana lacertinaria L. was obtained from birch. The larvae of Perizoma alchemillata L. and Plusia chrysitis L. were found feeding on the Hemp Nettle (Galeopsis tetrahit L.) which was abundant. 91 The imagines of the micros Peronea sponsana Fabr. and Depressaria arenella Schiff. were seen, and larvae of the micros Peronea schalleriana L. (logiana Schiff.) were found on Viburnum lantana, Mompha raschkiella Zell. on Rosebay, Lithocolletis sylvella Haw. on maple and Tithocolletis geniculella Rag. on sycamore. MICKLEHAM—9th October 1955. Leader, Mr. G. C. D. Grirriras. The weather was fine and sunny all day, but bad weather during the previous week resulted in a low attendance. The party assembled at Boxhill station at 11.10 a.m. and proceeded to Headley Lane. The cases of Coleophora erigerella Ford were found commonly in the seed heads of Hrigeron acris L. along the roadside. On chmbing the downs it was found that the vegetation was in poor condition. Larvae of Bena fagana F. (prasinana Auct nec L.) and Colocasia coryli L. were taken on beech. A very pleasant walk on the downs produced nothing else of note. OXSHOTT—16th October 1955. Leader, Mr. W. H. Spreapsury. Fifteen members and friends attended this meeting and enjoyed perfect weather. Fungi though not numerous were sufficiently frequent to maintain interest though on one occasion the foray threatened to turn into a Chestnut hunt. About 50 species of fungus were noted, the most interesting being two Hydnums, H. melaleucum Fr. and H. scrobiculatum Fr. This latter a far from common one. During lunch by the Black Pond ergots (sclerotia of the fungus Claviseps purpurea Tul.) were noted on the grass Molinia caerulea (L.) particularly commonly. Those who beat for larvae found Drepana falcataria (L.) and D. lacertinaria (L.) particularly numerous. Other larvae found were Biston betularia (L.), Bena fagana F. (prasinana Auct nec L.), Apatele rumicis (L.), Cabera pusaria (L.), Notodonta dromedarius (L.), Drepana cultraria (F.), Cosymbia pendularia (Clerck) and Diurnea fagella (Schiff.). Micro cases were gathered from Juncus articulatus L. The dragonfly Sympetrum danae (Sulz.) was very abundant. A fine growth of Blue Fleabane (Hrigeron acris L.), was found near the railway station. During the ramble Redpolls were heard calling and Meadow Pipits were observed. Tea was taken at the ‘‘Hut’’ close to the railway station. 92 TRANSACTIONS ABSTRACT OF EXPERIMENTAL BREEDING OF BUTTERFLIES By Dr. C. A. CraRrKE. Read 8th June 1955. (1) Maculinea arion L. had been successfully bred in captivity during 1954. The method employed had been that of Purefoy (1915) using ‘‘walnut’’ nests. The type of ant used was Myrmica rubra L. from Cheshire. Coloured slides (Ektochrome) were shown, which gave details of the breeding. (2) The early stages of Maculinea alcon Schiffermiiller had also been bred, using Myrmica ruginodis Nyl. ants. Photographs were shown of the ants transporting the larvae. It had been noted that this occurred far more frequently with alcon than with arion and in neither species had the signalling and ‘“‘humping’’ noted by Frohawk been seen. (3) Prevention of larval disease. During 1954 while breeding Swallowtails of the Papilio machaon group a great deal of larval disease had been encountered. It had been found that this was bacterial in origin and not viral and cultures made from the gut and faeces of dying caterpillars had given a pure growth of Streptococcus faecalis, sensitive to penicillin (Professor A. W. Downie). It had next been found that fennel shoots placed in an aqueous solution of crystalline penicillin (20,000 units to the c.c.) took up the penicillin and the antibiotic could be obtained in high concentration from the leaves. Further caterpillars fed on fennel so treated excreted penicillin in the frass. It seemed, therefore, that these findings might be utilized to prevent certain forms of larval disease, and work on it was still in progress with Professor Downie in the Bacteriological Laboratories, Liverpool University. (4) A resumé was given of the hybridisation studies which had been made between members of the machaon complex of butterflies both in the Old and New World. Using the method of hand-mating it had been found possible to cross most of the forms but the hybrids had always been infertile inter se. Backcrosses had, however, been frequently obtained and this had enabled some preliminary work on the genetics of the machaon group to be done. Details were given of the method of inheritance of the ground colour, sexual dimorphism and larval spot colour in P. machaon, P. asterias F. and P. brevicauda Saund. The latest hybrid to be obtained was that between P. machaon and P. hospiton Géné. and living larvae of the cross were shown. These showed marked irregularity of the black bands with castellations giving the appearance of an anteroposterior stripe. The larvae were very similar to those which 93 had been obtained in 1954 between P. machaon and P. machaon saharae Oberth. from North Africa. Mention was also made of the hybrids be- tween P. machaon and I. machaon hippocrates Felder. from Japan. In this cross there had been a marked upset in the sex ratio, very few females having been produced. This finding may be related to the fact that the chromosome number in happocrates is said to be different from that in machaon. Taking the information about the hybrids as a whole it can be inferred from their fertility that the various forms are genetically fairly distinct and must be considered as at least extreme subspecies, Whether hybrids such as have been obtained in captivity occur in nature is uncertain but spontaneous matings have been observed between some of the forms and undoubtedly it could occur in hybrid zones. An expedition was investigating this point in Colorado during the present Summer. In general it was considered that the machaon group provided some of the most suitable material ever investigated in animals for studying processes of speciation in detail, taking into account genetic, ecological and behaviour differences as well as time. However, the work would also be of value in the study of evolution if the time at which the various forms originally became isolated could be etablished; it would then be possible to get a good estimate of the speed at which divergence had occurred in terms of genetic differences. 94 A LIST OF THE MACROLEPIDOPTERA AND PYRALIDINA OF NORTH WEST SURREY By R. F. Bretuerton, C.B., M.A., F.R.E.S. INTRODUCTION. Although Surrey has probably for long contained more resident collectors of Lepidoptera than any county, and is continually being visited from London, there is remarkably little assembled information about its butterflies and moths. This is particularly true of the north- west corner of the county. The Victoria County History list, prepared by H. Goss and C. G. Barrett, was published in 1902 and has not been revised. It was based on records from a limited number of places only, and notably contains hardly anything about the north west. Early references to this district are contained in some notes on collecting around Chertsey which were written by A. H. Clarke for various periodicals between 1863 and 1867. But he gave no exact localities, and some of his identifications are suspect. H. G. Champion in a series of articles in the Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine between 1907 and 1912 listed a number of species which he and his brother, R. J. Champion, had found around Horsell and Woking; many of their captures are preserved in the Hope Collection in the University Museum, Oxford. There are scattered records in other periodicals, as well as useful reports of insects seen at Byfleet and elsewhere during field meetings of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society over a number of years. Baron de Worms’ survey of the Butterflies and Moths of London and its Surroundings, now appearing in ‘The London Naturalist’’, touches at its fringes Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and Chertsey. It is the aim of my own paper to provide an up-to-date summary of the Macro-Lepidoptera and Pyralidina of the north-western corner of the County. Arbitrary limits for a study of this kind are unavoid- able. The area here chosen is that part of Surrey which is bounded on the east and south by the main Southern Region railway line from Walton-on-Thames through Woking to (but excluding) the outskirts of Guildford, and thence by the branch line to Ash Vale, and on the west and north by the borders of Hampshire, Berkshire, and Middlesex. This is an area of about 100 square miles. Most of it lies below the 200 foot contour, and only on Chobham Ridges does it exceed 400 feet. Geologically, the core of it consists of Bagshot, Bracklesham and Barton Sands of varying degrees of sterility, topped here and there with Plateau gravels and pebblebeds. There are narrow belts of alluvium, mostly also light, along the Thames and the lower courses of the two Bournes, the Wey and the Blackwater; and there are some small patches of London Clay and flood-plain gravels near Egham and south of Walton-on-Thames. Calcareous soil is completely lacking, the nearest outcrops—the Hog’s Back and the North Downs to the south 95 and south east, and the knob of Windsor Castle to the north west— being well outside the boundaries chosen, Because of the general poverty of its soil the District was a century ago very thinly populated. There were a few ancient towns and villages, such as Chertsey, Chobham and Pirbright, with some arable and meadow land around them; but for the most part the land was open heath, with a thin cover of heather, gorse and small birches and, in the wetter places, scrub oak, sallow and alder. There was also reed and marsh vegetation along the Thames, which had spread, too, beside the course of the Basingstoke Canal. Though we have no records of it, it seems likely that the indigenous lepidoptera lacked variety. In the latter half of the last Century came much enclosure and the building of large country houses, mainly on the least sterile Bagshot Beds, and with this, extensive planting and protection of woods. It is mainly to this that we owe the fine groves of oak, large birch, Scots pine, and occasionally beech and hornbeam which, albeit depleted by wartime fellings, now provide the richest breeding grounds for insects. Moreover, the Scots pine, once introduced, proved able to establish itself naturally on the remaining heaths, and to-day it is only prevented by frequent fires from changing large areas into coniferous forest. Later still began the process of suburbanisation, which is still proceeding at an ever accelerating rate. So far, it too has probably enriched rather than impoverished the fauna, since it has brought with it garden plants and bushes to nourish many new settlers—without, as yet, covering enough ground to cause the extinction of many indigenous species. There is little arable land, and even to-day heath, rough pasture and woodland occupy about half of the total area. In recent years more and more of the open country has been used for army training grounds and ranges. In some places these provide a kind of nature reserve, excluding the builder and the agricultural improver as well as the naturalist; but only too often these uses lead to destruction of the heather and erosion of the soil, as has happened on a large part of Chobham Common during and since the late war. Apart from the published information already mentioned, most of the material for this list has been assembled by the author with the help of a number of entomologists who live in the area, and also of others who have collected here from time to time. Searching, sugaring, larva hunting, and work with light and sheet in the field have been by no means neglected. But the most productive source of information has been systematic light-trapping, particularly at five traps for which records have been kept over substantial parts of the period from 1946 to 1955. A full list of those who have contributed material, together with the main centres of their observations, is given at the end of this Introduction, and the places named are shown on the sketch-map (page 96). The eastern and northern parts of the District have been more regularly worked than the west; but the results of field collecting there, and the general ecology, suggest that not many species are likely to have been missed on that account.

The traps themselves are in rather varied situations. That operated by the author at Ottershaw is surrounded by gardens and orchards, with woods and a small amount of heather within a quarter of a mile. Mr. Best’s trap at New Haw is in a similar situation, but has the advantage of being near to the rich vegetation along the Basingstoke Canal. Mr Messenger’s at Oatlands is on a more open site, looking out to the north over a wide expanse of Thames meadows where, as his records show, many of the indigenous marsh insects still maintain a foothold in patches of reeds and overgrown ditches. Those operated by Baron de Worms at Horsell and Mr. Lawson at Pirbright are near the edges of the heath country. The range of species attracted to the five traps is surprisingly similar, and even the differences in the relative abundance of species is less than might have been expected from the contrasts between their immediate environments. It is now generally accepted that the distance from which a moth can be ‘‘attracted’’ to light is quite small. Even for mercury vapour lamps of 80 or 125 watts, such as we have been using in the last four seasons, it must enter a radius which is probably not greater than 100 yards (Robinson, 1952). Moreover, the attractive power is smaller for some species than others, and some species do not easily enter traps of the cone pattern even when they are attracted by their lamps. It might, therefore, be feared that a mere five traps, even somewhat variously situated, would provide a very inadequate means of testing the presence and abundance of particular species in a district as large as that considered here. One would suppose that many of the more local species would be missed altogether, and that the abundance of particular species recorded in each trap would be decisively affected by the presence or absence of breeding grounds for them in the very near neighbourhood. But on the whole, our researches do not bear out such fears. Only a dozen of all the night-flying Macro-lepidoptera recorded from the whole District have failed to appear at one or other of these five traps; few species which have been recorded in substantial numbers at one trap have been absent from any of the others; and there are not many really large differences in the frequencies with which particular species are observed at the different traps. One can only guess at the reasons for this rather surprising result. In a generally rather uniform area, it may be that the foodplants and breeding grounds are in fact more widely distributed than we suspect. It is also very probable that at any rate the larger moths move in their nocturnal flights much farther and more freely from their breeding grounds than is generally assumed. Whatever the explanation, our actual experience gives us some confidence that systematic light-trapping can in fact be used as a satisfactory way of discovering the presence and assessing the abundance of the larger moths over a very wide area round the traps themselves. Obviously, this is not true of butterflies or mainly diurnal moths, and care is certainly needed in using light-trap results to generalise about the smaller Geometers and Pyralidina; nor, certainly, 98 is it an excuse for neglecting field-work. But it seems to the author to justify the heavy emphasis which is given to light-trap records in the List which follows. Records have been kept of all the Macro-Lepidoptera—more than 130,000—which have attended the Ottershaw trap from 1946 to 1955, and the Horsell trap—about 64,000—from 1952 to 1955. The relative frequencies of the various species at each trap have been assessed and defined on the following scale : — Diese tian 1h. Wi OU cae. aval oes: (less than 0-01 %) very scarce 1 in 10;000..t0. 1 inde 200 >. yor (0-01 to 0-:03% scarce ADAIR ie ge DO (0:03 to 0°:1%) fairly common De OS oN Reh | re (0-1 to 0-31% common Pet AOU LUST ONE Si ons uatteny Sa: (0-31 to 1:0%) very common Ne TaN? Se NR es > ie pa (1:0: to 3-1%) abundant Neorotelat: Pitot oe cout cape (3:1% upwards) dominant A detailed count of Macros was available for the New Haw trap for the years 1947/9 (before the use of mercury vapour bulbs) and the scale has been applied arithmetically to this also, but the results have been adjusted in certain cases to cover changes in later years. For the other traps no detailed counts were kept except for the rarer species, but frequencies have been estimated on the same scale by the operators. In general, the frequencies given in the list for particular species repre- sent an average of years, but some of the most striking annual differ- ences have been noted. For the Pyralidina, an assessment of frequency at Ottershaw, based on a count of about 11,000 moths, has been supplementea by records of most of the species which have attended the Oatlands light trap, by observations made by Mr. H. J. G. Stroyan and Mr. S. Wakely at Sheerwater, and by field work in several other parts of the District. But much more work is still required before a really satisfactory picture can be obtained of the prevalence of members of this group of moths. Analysis of the moth-trap counts at Ottershaw and Horsell (given in greater detail in the Appendix) shows that about one-third of the totals is accounted for by six or seven ‘‘dominant’’ species—A mathes c-nigrum Linn., Agrotis exclamationis Linn., Triphaena pronuba Linn., Apamea monoglypha Hufn., Orthosia stabilis View., O. gothica Linn., Lycophotia varia Vill. (the last being unusually numerous in 1954 and 1955). If another score of ‘‘abundant’’ species are added, the proportion covered approaches 60%. At the other end of the scale, for each trap about 180 species which are ‘‘very scarce’’ or have occurred only singly provide less than 4% of the total attendance, and another 75 ‘‘scarce’’ ones less than another 14%. These results of course exaggerate the real dominance and scarcity of these species in the District as a whole, both because the traps are themselves somewhat selective for certain species, and because the balance of species is certainly rather different in other places where traps have not been —) . ee 99 operated. Nevertheless, our information from trapping and _ field collecting, taken as a whole, suggests that perhaps thirty or forty species may provide half of the population of Macro-lepidoptera in the whole District; while half the number of species which exist in it may account for less than 5% of the total numbers. Some of these rarer species may be locally common in environments which suit them, but more seem to exist in low densities more or less all over the District. The population structure may be likened to that of a sandwich with many layers of varying thickness, topped with a sprinkling of very scattered tit-bits. There is also certainly continuous movement into the District, by the recognised migrant species, by species which are generally extending their range, and by short-distance strays from adjoining areas: some of these may establish themselves and become more or less common, as five or six species are known to have done in the past ten years. Finally, one must note that there are wide fluctuations over the years in the abundance even of the common residents. Apart from seasonal and annual variations which are often clearly attributable to weather conditions, there are certainly longer cycles for many species. For example, Dasychira fascelina Linn. and Iycophotia varia Vill. have built up from comparative scarcity to abundance over the past four or five years, while others, like Callimorpha jacobaeae Linn. and Selenia tetralunaria Hufn. have steadily declined. A total of 577 species of Macro-lepidoptera (as defined in ‘‘South’’) has so far been recorded from the District, and to this can be added 99 species of Pyrales and Plume Moths: undoubtedly the list is much less complete for these than for the Macros. Included in these totals are a score of species which are irregular immigrants from the Continent. These have no claim to be regular inhabitants of the District, though some of them have visited it in several different years and a few have certainly completed at least one life cycle here. Thus Colias hyale Linn., Nymphalis antiopa Linn., Herse convolvult Linn., Celerio galii Rott., Daphnis ner Linn., Eurois occulta Linn., Leucania vitellina Hiibn., ZL. albipuncta Fabr., Lithomoia solidaginis Hiibn., Heliothis armigera Hiibn., Eublemma parva Hiibn., Plusia acuta Walker, [tame fulvaria Vill., Dioryctria splendidella H.-S. and Palpita unionalis Hiibn. have been seen only as adults. Heliothis peltigera Schiff. has been found both as larva and moth. Acherontia atropos Linn. has been found several times in the larval state and bred, though the moth has not been taken in the wild. For Colias croceus Fourc., Laphygma exigua Hiibn., Rhodometra sacraria Linn., and Nyctosia obstipata Fabr. the pattern of the records makes it almost certain that they have bred here, though the earlier stages have not been detected. Apart from these irregular immigrants another two dozen species are probably occasional visitors to the District rather than residents. Lysandra coridon Poda, Setina irrorella Linn., Agrotis cinerea Hiibn., Hadena conspersa Esp., Eremobia ochroleuca Esp., Oria musculosa Hiibn., Acontia luctuosa Esp., Scopula ornata Scop., Ortholitha 100 bipunctaria Schiff., Melanthia procellata Fabr., Aspitates gilvaria Fabr., Pempelia dilutella Hiibn., Hypochalcia ahenella Schiff., and Pyrausta cespitalis Schiff. are mere stragglers from the chalk downs a few miles away; and Leucoma salicis Linn., Hilema deplana KEsp., Cucullia asteris Schiff., Heliothis dipsacea Linn., Hapalotis venustula Hiibn., Scopula marginepunctata Goeze, Abraxas sylvata Scop., Aspitates ochrearia Ross., Alispe angustella Hiibn. and Lozostege palealis Schiff. are probably only casual visitors. Besides these, for some two dozen Macros and a dozen Pyrales we have at present only three firm records or less. Most of these species, which include such interesting insects as Apatura iris Linn., Apatele alni Linn. and Hydraecia petasitis Doubleday, may have been merely overlooked here, because of their retiring habits, extreme localisation, or resemblance to other species. Finally, there are nine species—Papilio machaon Linn., Strymonidia w-album Knoch, Amathes stigmatica Hibn., A. agathina Dup., Schrankia taenialis Hiib., Mesotype virgata Rott., Cepphis advenaria Hiibn., Cleora lichenaria Hufn., and Pyrausta stachydalis Zinck.—which have not been seen here for more than a quarter of a century: some of them may await rediscovery. If the immigrant, stray, and possibly extinct species are discounted, known residents in the District at the present time account for about 530 species of Macros and 91 Pyralidina, as against about 785 and 188 for the whole of the British Isles, after similar exclusions have been made. Considering the lack of variety in the geology and flora of the District, this is a surprisingly large proportion, and it compares quite respectably with the resources of other districts in Southern England. The list of lepidoptera occurring within six miles of Haslemere, revised by Mr. F. A. Oldaker up to 1951 on the basis of steady recording since the time of C. G. Barrett, includes 562 Macros and 94 Pyrales and Plume Moths, of which about 25 can be discounted as non-resident or probably extinct. This covers an area of about the same size as our own but more varied, in that it contains, besides the high heathery moorland of Hindhead, on the Lower Greensand, much dense woodland growing on the Wealden clay; and it has been also less disturbed by suburban development. Its permanent residents include about 40 Macros and a dozen Pyralidina which are not known from our own area, but it also lacks many which are found here. The list of Macro-Lepidoptera of the Oxford District (1939, with Supplements to 1947) covers an area of about 330 square miles which, though much more varied, differs sharply from our own District in that it contains hardly any heather country but much calcareous soil. The Oxford list includes 539 species certainly recorded, of which 38 have not been noted at all in North West Surrey. The Pyrales and Plume Moths for the same District (1928, with a few known additions) number 88 species, of which a dozen are not known here. The greater length of the North West Surrey List is mainly due to the inclusion of more migrant and coastal species, which seldom penetrate as far as Oxford, 101 though it must be noted that the Oxford Lists (like that for Haslemere) were compiled before the days of mercury vapour lamps, and a number of casual and vagrant species could probably be added to them with this help to-day. North West Surrey is not good butterfiy country, because of the absence of flowery downland and of thick woodland on heavy soil, which are the favoured haunts of so many of the British species. This List does, it is true, include a respectable total of 44 butterflies, of which 38 are probably permanent residents or regular immigrants. But a third of these must be described as scarce or very local, and few of the commoner species appear in really large numbers. Humenis semele Linn. and Plebejus argus Linn. are characteristic of the heaths and sometimes locally abundant. Jimenitis camilla Linn. is established and’ fairly common in the thicker woods; the earliest record for the District seems to be 1929. Nymphalis polychloros Linn. has been seen at Worplesdon, several times near Chobham and once at Weybridge, and is probably resident. There are several small colonies of Huphydryas aurinia Rott., mainly in the south-west and centre. Pararge aegeria Linn., Maniola tithonus Linn. and Celastrina argiolus Linn. are general and notably numerous. Among the moths there are several specialities. Parascotia fuliginaria Linn. was regarded as one of the rarest of the British moths until its larvae were discovered by Mr. E. E. Green in 1931, feeding upon the fungus Polystichtus versicolor growing in his garden near Camberley, just outside our District, where a few moths had been taken in earlier years. When this discovery was followed up, the species was detected in many other places on the Bagshot Sands, and it is clear that it occurs throughout the District wherever rotten logs with suitable fungi grow- ing on them are available. Fellings and damage to woodlands during the late war increased the supply of these and were no doubt helpful to the moth: certainly it was very numerous from 1946 to 1950 but is now becoming harder to find as the woods are tidied up. I have found larvae on several kinds of fungi, growing on Scots pine and beech as well as on birch. The moth comes readily to the light-traps, and I have twice found it at sugar and have once caught it flying quietly about at midnight. Though there are stray records from the London Docks, as well as from other parts of England, it is not certainly known to be established off the Bagshot Sands, and the District is at the centre of its British distribution. Dasycampa rubiginea Fabr. is another of the District’s specialities. It seems to be spread through the whole area, and can be taken at sugar, ivy, sallow, and plum blossom, as well as at light, though always in small numbers. Though in captivity the larvae will eat almost anything and are easy to rear, their natural foodplant and habits are unknown, and it may be that, when these are discovered, the species will prove to be commoner than it now appears to be. Notable species occurring on the heaths are Dasychira fascelina Linn., whose larvae often swarm on the heather but are very difficult 102 to breed through, Agrotis vestigialis Rott., Heliothis maritima Graslin, Eustrotia uncula Clerck., Tholomiges turfosalis Wocke., Sterrha muricata Hufn., and Chlorissa viridata Linn. (both very local), Chesias rufata Linn., Gnophos obscurata Schiff., Selidosema plumaria Schiff., and, much less commonly, Dyscia fugaria Thb. There are also some interesting Pyralidina, including the Plume, Vrichoptilus paludum Zell. on the sundew, Myelois neophanes Durrant on fungi growing on burnt stems of gorse and birch, Salebria betulae Goeze, Luodamia fusca Haw, Nephopterix palumbella Fabr., and the Grass Moths Crambus uliginosellus Zell., C. dumetellus Hiibn. (recorded by Champion in 1910/1 but only once seen recently), CU. hamellus Thb., C. latistrius Haw. UC. contaminellus Hiibn. has so far only been noticed in small numbers at the Ottershaw light-trap and near Ash Vale, but its head- quarters are probably on the heaths. In the woods, Odontosia carmelita Esp. probably exists wherever there are large birches, but is elusive and seldom seen; Apatele leporina Linn. and Polia tincta Brahm. are common, the larvae of the latter being most easily found on small bushes after dark. Dicycla oo Linn. comes to sugar and light in numbers among old oak trees, which also produce the rare Phycid Nephopteriz similella G. & Z. Euphyia picata Hiibn. has been taken on the edges of heaths, but is very scarce. Apamea. scolopacina Esp. comes freely to light in some places, and has been taken on ragwort bloom and at sugar. Mythimna turca Linn. has been found in several places, but is certainly scarce. One of the most interesting features is the presence in the District of many marshland species, albeit in small numbers. A century ago there must have been many fens and reed-beds along the course of the Thames. Only remnants, often but a few yards square, still exist there and along the course of the Basingstoke Canal and the Chobham Bourne, but they are enough to provide a refuge for a very interesting fauna. This includes the Wainscots Nonagria geminipuncta Haw., N. dis- soluta Treits., Chilodes maritima Tausch., Arenostola pygmina Haw., A. phragmitidis Hiibn., Rhizedra lutosa Hiibn., Leucania straminea Tr., LZ. pudorina Tr. (which also occurs on the heaths), L. obsoleta Hiibn., and other marsh lovers such as Earias clorana Linn., Spilosoma urticae Esp., Comacla senex Hiibn., Apamea ophiogramma Esp., Celaena leucostigma Hiibn., Hupithecia valerianata Hiibn., and all the water Pyrales. Unfortunately the destruction of their remaining haunts continues apace; one of the richest sites on the Basingstoke Canal has been turned into a housing estate in the last three years, and reckless felling of old poplars by the Thames bids fair to wipe out Cirrhia ocellaris Bork. and other good species which depend upon them. Several other species of restricted habitat are rather surprisingly established in the area. Heliophobus albicolon Hiibn., and Procus literosa Haw., which are usually coastal species, come regularly in small numbers to the light traps; and Eupithecia arceuthata Frey., usually associated with juniper on the chalk downs, breeds in abundance at Ottershaw on a hedge of Cupressus lawsoniana. Most of the Clematis- hay: 103 feeding species also occur, having established themselves on cultivated varieties in gardens and on the few scattered plants by the roadsides. Finally, we must notice four species which are certainly new arrivals in the District. Hylotcus pinastri Linn. has been extending its range north-east from Dorset for nearly twenty years. It was breeding nearby at Wisley in 1946, was first observed in the District in 1948, and is now widespread and fairly common on Scots pine. Caradrina ambigua Fabr. was until recently confined in Britain to the South Coast, and was there thought to be maintained largely by recurrent immigrations. In August, 1949, however, it appeared commonly on several of the heaths and at light in this District, and proceeded to maintain and indeed to extend its foothold. It has occurred annually since then— a small brood in early summer followed by a much more numerous emergence in August and September; but it suffered from the cold summer of 1954 and the cold winter which followed, and very few were seen in 1955. Pyrausta nubilalis Hiibn., once regarded as a scarce immigrant, seems to have established itself in Essex some years ago and then spread widely over south-eastern England. A few were seen for the first time in the District at Oatlands in 1952, and one at Ottershaw. It then became commoner each year and in 1955 was widespread. Its larvae have not yet been detected here. Finally, one example of Cucullia absinthu Linn., which is known to be spreading rapidly from its accustomed haunts on the south and west coasts, came into Oatlands light trap in July, 1954; and in 1955 there were five. Some examination of the local Artemisium vulgaris Linn. has not yet revealed any larvae here, as it has done not very far away; but the species may be presumed to be establishing itself in the District. It remains to mention certain usually common species whose absence or rarity in this District is remarkable. In spite of the abundance ot | birch Hulype hastata Linn. and Anaplectoides prasina Fabr. have only been noticed twice. There is plenty of aspen: yet there is but one record of T'ethea or Fabr., and Brephos notha Hiibn. is very local and rare. Among the pine-feeding species, Thera firmata Hiibn. and IT. variatu Schiff. are barely recorded, though their close relative 7. obeliscata Hiibn. swarms. Elms are not numerous here, and Cosmiu affirms Linn. and C. diffinis Linn. are correspondingly scarce: but their place is taken commonly by C. pyralina View., elsewhere usually also an elm feeder but much scarcer than its cousins; here it probably uses an alternative food-plant. Among usually abundant polyphagous species we may note that Abraxas grossulariata Linn. is almost unknown except on the northern fringes of the District, and Cerapteryx graminis Linn., in. most places a pest of grassland, is here very rare. Of Colostygia didymata Linn. there are only two records. SCOPE AND NOMENCLATURE The List which follows covers the Butterflies and the larger moths (Macro-Lepidoptera), as contained in South’s ‘‘British Butterflies’? and 104 ‘‘British Moths’’, and the Pyrales and Plume Moths (Pyralidina) as defined in Beirne’s recent book on the subject. This traditonal, if unscientific, scope has been dictated by the limitations of the material available; even so, this study of the District’s Pyralidina is necessarily slighter than that for the other groups. A list of the remaining ‘“Micros’’—Tortrices, Tineides, Nepticulides, Micropteryges, and Psychidae—must unfortunately wait until much more work has been done on them and until a competent specialist can undertake its compilation. The scientific nomenclature and order followed are those of I. R. P. Heslop, *‘Indexed Check-List of the British Lepidoptera’’, 2nd edition, 1947, by reference to which the English equivalents of the scientific names can be obtained if required. The terminology and arrangement of this Check-List are now somewhat out-of-date; but the advantages of using a single and familiar list are felt much to outweigh the doubtful benefits of trying to introduce the latest—and still very unstable— findings of the addicts of name research. For the Pyralidina, the nomenclature used by Beirne has been followed. For each species, its frequency at the light-traps is given first, assessed on the scale which was explained earlier. Where a range of frequencies is given, that mentioned first represents experience at a majority of traps. Information about distribution in the rest of the District follows, as far as possible in the order north west to north east, centre, south east, south west. Exact dates and recorders’ names are given only in the case of scarce species or for some other special reason. If more than one brood occurs, this is stated; and mention is made of aberrational forms, unusual foodplants, and other points of special interest. No species have been included about whose occurrence in the District any doubt exists: the names of a few of which the only records date from before 1930 have been placed within brackets (). A summary Census of Species at the end distinguishes the numbers which are now resident in the District from those which are probably only of ancient, irregular, or casual occurrence here, and gives a comparison with the numbers which occur as residents and regular immigrants in the British - Isles generally. A sketch-map of the District, showing the main localities referred to, is also attached. In conclusion, J must express my deep sense of gratitude to the recorders, named below, who have so generously and patiently supplied me with information and answered my questions, and to others who have helped me with encouragement and practical advice. Studies of this kind can only be adequately made by co-operative effort, and it is a tribute to the keenness and scientific spirit of modern collectors of lepidoptera that so much help has been forthcoming for so small an area. I also thank the Council of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society for the readiness with which they have under- taken the task of publication. 105 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Names of Recorders, with the centres to which their records mainly refer.

A. castanea Esp. Ottershaw and New Haw traps, very scarce; Horsell, fairly common. Virginia Water; Chertsey, at sugar ix.1864 (A.H.C.: H.M.M., 1: 192). Chobham Common; Hook Heath; Lucas Green; Ash Vale. Locally common on heaths both as moth and larva. Red forms are occasional. A. baja Fabr. All traps, common to very common. Abundant on heaths. Very dark forms occur, some with the apical spot missing. A. c-nigrum Linn. All traps, dominant, as generally. Two broods, the first of larger moths but much smaller numbers. An extreme albino aberration taken at New Haw (A.A.B.). 117 A. ditrapezium Borkh. Ottershaw, New Haw, Oatlands traps, very scarce; Horsell, once. Weybridge, once (J.L.M.); Lucas Green, 11 and 20.vii.55 (J.L.M., C. de W.). A moth of clay soils, barely reach- ing into the District. A. triangulum Hufn. All traps, common to very common, as generally. (A. stigmatica Hiibn.) One moth beaten out of birches in a copse near Chobham, 1910 (H.G.C.: E.M.M., 47: 41). A. sexstrigata Haw. (umbrosa Hiibn.). All traps, fairly common to common. General, commoner at flowers and sugar. A. xanthographa Fabr. All traps, very common to abundant. General. Diarsia brunnea Fabr. All traps, scarce, except Pirbright, absent. Butts Wood; Longcross; Hook Heath; Lucas Green. Mainly in woods. D. festiva Schiff. (primulae Esp.).

Another specimen was taken at Esher, not far outside the District, on the same night. Anaplectoides prasina Fabr. Three only. Ottershaw trap, 29.vi.53; Horsell trap, 21.vii.55; Longcross, one in 1949 (C.W.P.). Its scarcity is surprising in view of the abundance of birch. Triphaena comes Hiibn. All traps, common to very common, as generally. Melanic forms are occasional. Specimens seen in October, 1952, were probably of a partial second brood. T. orbona Hufn. (subsequa Hiibn.). Once only.
