IT is now some years since Mr. Hudd's valuable list of the 

 Lepidoptera of the Bristol district was published in the 

 Proceedings of the Naturalist Society ; and as, since then, 

 several species altogether new to the district have been 

 found, some that were considered doubtful have been estab- 

 lished, and a number of others that were only known to 

 occur in one county — Gloucestershire or Somersetshire 

 — have now been found in both counties, I thought it 

 might be of interest if I endeavoured to make the neces- 

 sary additions and corrections, so as to bring the list as 

 nearly as possible up to date. 



I shall also note the further occurrence of any species 

 of which there then had been only one or two records. I 

 would at the same time state that I am Yery largely indebted 

 to Mr. J. Mason, of Clevedon, who has not only been very 

 successful in taking a considerable number of species in 

 Somersetshire, of which we previously had records only 

 from Gloucestershire, but also has added several that are 

 altogether new to the list.
