Abstract
LONDON. Entomological Society, October 5.—Mr. R. Trimen, F.R.S., President, in the chair.—The President announced that the late Mrs. Stainton had bequeathed to the Society such entomological works from her husband's library as were not already in its possession. This bequest was of great importance, and would add to the library a large number of works, many of which, formerly in the library of J. F. Stephens, were old and now scarce.—Mr. J. J. Walker exibited a black form of Clytus mysticus, L. (var. hieroglyphicus), taken by Mr. Newstead at Chester, where about 1 per cent, of the specimens were of that variety; also a black variety of Leiopus nebulosus, L., from the New Forest.—Mr. Tutt exhibited an example of Euchloe cardamines, irregularly suffused with black markings, and a series of local varieties of Lepidoptera from Wigtonshire.—Mr. S. Image exhibited a specimen of Acidalia herbariata, taken in Southampton Row.—Prof. Poulton showed and made remarks on specimens of Precis octavia-natalensis and Precis sesamus.
