1895-] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 75 



tures and correspondence to attend to, I tumbled into bed nightly 

 quite satisfied that I had thoroughly ransacked and exhausted the 

 lepidopterological store of the vicinity. 



An accident, however, opened my eyes, and I came to a quite 

 different conclusion. One fine day at the end of July I met with 

 a serious mishap that kept me indoors for two weeks with a 

 couple of fractured ribs and sundry painful cuts and bruises. 

 For the first three days the pain entirely kept me from thinking 

 about insects; but I noticed a few moths at my bed-room window 

 attracted by the lamplight. When I was able to move about, my 

 kind landlord furnished me with a couple of large lamps, one of 

 which I set at the window and fixed the other on a box at the 

 open front door, I sitting on a chair just inside the house with 

 net, bottle and box in readiness. As soon as it was dusk, Mames- 

 tra olivacea and several other small species new to me, came in 

 plenty; as it grew darker larger species came. At last, with a 

 bump against the lamp, Agrotis ingeniculata introduced itself to 

 science for the first time. This large and handsome species was 

 quite common for a few nights. I give below a list of my cap- 

 tures in ten nights. I always quit at eleven o'clock, as by that 

 time at this high elevation the air began to get very cold and 

 sometimes quite frosty. Those marked with an asterisk were 

 common. I give the Bombycids and Noctuidae only.
