Mr. Edwin Burchall read tho following paper — 



ON ADDITIONS TO THE IRISH LEriDOPTERA. 



Although I feel that the materials at my command for drawing np 

 a supplement to the Eev. Mr. Greene's valuable list of Irish Lepidoptera 

 are very meagre, yet, as three years have elapsed without any one better 

 qualified than myself undertaking the task, I venture to record a few 

 additional species which have come under my observation. To Mr. 

 Alexander G. More, of Bembridge, I have to express my obligation for 

 a very complete record of his captures during a residence of several 

 months at Ardrahan, which has enabled me to add no less than eleven 

 species to our list : —
