showy objects would afford. While the fields are radiant with their 

 beauty, and the gentle zephyrs fragrant with their scented odours, the 

 great tide ebbs and flows over the flowerless plants of the sea. Around 

 the huge rocks the perennial fringes of the olive fuci undulate in graceful 

 folds among the swelling waves. I do claim for the neglected vegetation 

 of the sea-side, an elegance of form and structure, a suggestiveness of 

 mathematical designs, a poetry of association and typical expression, a 

 simplicity and modest gracefulness, which will entitle them to the best 

 efforts of the designer." 



Then designers, conchologists, algologists, or pure lovers of nature, 

 whoever and whatever ye are, go to the banks of the Hopkins.

( Continued from page 230.^ 



67. T. janthina. — Common, by beating. 



68. T. fimbria. — Not rare. Several times bred. 



N.B. — T. fimbria has been bred by Mr. Baker, of Battisford, but I never 

 met with the insect. (B.) 



I took this larva in plenty a few years since in Hampshire, during the 

 month of May, by searching among the underwood with a lantern as soon as 

 it got dark. It fed indiscriminately upon all the underwood, but I never 

 found a single larva on a low-growing plant. I never met with it in 

 Suffolk, either in the larva or imago. (C.) 



69. T. interjecta. — Common, by beating. This species and Janthina seem 

 very fond of resting by day among Clematis. 



70. T. orbona. — Plentiful at sugar, and frequently bred. 



71. T. pronuba. — In immense profusion at sugar. They are truly gluttonous 

 in their habits — perhaps it would be more correct to say intemperate — 

 drinking until they are literally swollen. On opening the abdomen it will 

 be found filled with their "favourite vanity." 



72. Noctua glareosa. — Was taken near Stowmarket by Mr. Arthur Simpson, 

 but rarely. (B.) 



73. N. augur. — Very common at sugar and light; a perfect nuisance indeed.
