Gore. He had very little apparatus, yet handed to me over a hundred 

 specimens, mostly in good condition, for his few days' stay at Ruggedy. 



The Nocttiae are poorly represented, but of the Geometrae sixteen species 

 were taken, and of these four are distinctly rare, while one (Microdes 

 villosata), so far as I am aware, is only in one other collection in New 

 Zealand — the Buller Collection, in the Dominion Museum. Mr. Fisher, 

 fortunately, took both sexes. The male has a peculiar fold in the centre 

 of the hindwing ; this fold, being black on the grey-white wing, makes 

 the moth both curious and noticeable in appearance. 



Of the Micro-lepidoptera there are fifteen species, Diptera three species, 

 Hymenoptera three, Neuroptera one, Hemiptera one, and Orthoptera one. 

 Mr. Fisher mentioned that the inclusion of several sandflies was accidental, 

 but unavoidable.
