List of Micro-Lepidoptera Taken in Hampton, 



New Hampshire. 

 BY S. ALBERT SHAW. 



The town of Hampton is situated in the southeastern part of 

 New Hampshire, and borders on the ocean. In the eastern 

 part is a large tract of sand hills and salt marsh, comprising 

 one-fourth of the area of the town, the marsh being as level as 

 any prarie of the West. The rest of the land near the coast is 

 remarkably level, but further back is more rough, though there 

 are no hills worthy of the name. The uplands are well 

 wooded. 



Most of my collecting has been done within five minutes 

 walk of my home which is near the northern border of the 

 above mentioned marsh land. No collecting has been done in 

 the northern part of the town. 



In the following list are quite a number of records new to 

 New Hampshire and several new to New England as far as I 

 know. 



With a very few exceptions the identifications have been 

 made by Mr. Kearfott and Dr. Dietz to whom I would render 

 grateful acknowledgment for their kindness. 



It is the intention of the writer to publish additions to this 

 list as new captures are made and identified.
