The Irish NaUiralist. 



[September, 



The electric light of the hotel attracted many insects, which were 

 captured b)' Mr. Stelfox (who also took Eiicosjuia tindiilata along the 

 Rouglit)' river), and others, including one of the employes of the hotel. 

 The white plume Leioptilius fentadactyla, so common in England and so 

 rare in Ireland, was taken near the hotel. I append a list of the most
