In dealing with the butterflies, we had Mr. Barrett's completed volume 

 on the group before us as well as Mr. Kane's list. Naturally the pro- 

 gress of the former gentleman's work is considerably slower than that 

 of the latter's. We hope when Mr. Barrett's second volume is completed, 

 to notice it, and also to review Mr. Kane's lists of Noctuidae, Geomelridae> 

 and remaining families as they appear. Mr. Dillon's records for the 

 Noctuids and Geometers are already before us, and we find that in these 

 families he has added Moma orion, Leiuania extranea^ Dipterygia scabrwscula, 

 Cloantha polyodon, Luperina cespitis, Pachnobia hyperborea, Calocampa solidaginis, 

 Xylina semibrnnnea, Pericallia syringaria, Engonia fiiscantaria, Zonosoma 

 orbicularia, Chcimatobia borcata, Eupithecia fraxinata, E. indigata, and Thera 

 juniperata to the Irish list.
