CORRIGENDA. 



Choerocampa cipcnor, L. should be added to the Sphinges (p. 21). 

 We took a few specimens near Derry. 



Mr. Kane has pointed out to me that Hadena dissijnilis was inserted by 

 error among the Noctuae (p. 46). This species should have therefore been 

 omitted. Mr. Leebody draws my attention to the fact that Arle??iisia 

 cauipcstris (mentioned as the food-plant of Hdiothis sciitosa) does not grow at 

 Buncrana ; it is ^. vulgaris which occurs there. 



Our list contains but 261 species and is, of course, very in- 

 complete. If any of our Irish naturalists will investigate the 

 I^epidoptera of the district about I^ough Swilly and I^ough 

 Foyle, I feel sure he will be amply rewarded. The great 

 stretch of sandhills w^hich runs almost across the mouth of 

 lyough Foyle, at Magilligan, provides a splendid field for the 

 naturalist, be he entomologist, botanist, or conchologist. If 

 one wants a day of pure pleasure, let him choose a fine warm 

 day in June or July, and stroll through the Magilligan valleys, 

 where the exquisite grass of Parnassus carpets the ground, 

 and the pearly white wild rose blooms close beside the 

 beach where the Atlantic waves break unceasingly.
