I first took a female of this rare moth on the Ochil Hills 

 near Stirling, the 5th July ; on the 20th, a male in a damp 

 spot upon a heath near Killin; and soon after, others in the 

 Isle of Bute ; and subsequently Mr. Dale, Mr. Marshall and 

 myself, captured several amongst coarse grass on the sides of 

 Skiddaw. It is said also to be common at Westerham in Kent, 

 amongst Pine-trees, the beginning of June and end of Sep- 

 tember. 1 should not have put a query to the reference to 

 Mr. Haworth's work, as he quotes Hdbner's figure, had he not 

 also referred to Donovan's Phalaiia tristrigaria, v^^hich is a 

 male with simple antennae, and probably a variety of Pha- 

 Icena variata Hub. 



2. Z. 4-fasciaria L. — Hwiso. 307. TOO.— Ligustrata Hiib. 55. 

 282 fern. — End of June, trunks of trees and gardens, Norfolk 

 and Suffolk, and end of July, hedges, Hertford. 



3. Z. unidentaria. Haw. 308. 101. — 4-fasciata. Hub. 55. 

 284- fern. — Middle of May, Coomb Wood ; June and August, 

 amongst Elms. 



4. Z. ferrugaria L. — Haw.— Hub. 55. 285 mas. var. and 

 89. 460 fern. var. — Salicaria Haw. var. — Very common in 

 May and June in hedges. 



5. Z. olivaria. Hub. 59. 307.— H«to.— End of August; 

 Birch-trees, Kent, and trunks of Beech-trees, Inverary, and 

 sides of rocks at the Trossacks. 



6. Z. latentaria. Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 296. — Taken in abun- 

 dance by Mr. Dale and myself on walls and rocks near Am- 

 bleside, 8th June. 



7. Z. Salicata. Hiib. 53. 273. — This is distinguished from 

 the last by its smaller size; and the wings, especially the in- 

 ferior, are scarcely at all freckled. Mr. Dale first discovered 

 this in Scotland, and I think Mr. Marshall has taken it near 

 Keswick, the end of August. 



8. Z. didymaria Z..— i/a;w.— scabrata. Hiib. 44. 229 mas, 

 var. P — End of July, Kent, Norfolk, Yorkshire, and Scotland.

11. Z. costovata. Haw. 334. 54.— Probably a variety of the 

 last; May, hedges. 



12. Z. imphcata rij7/. — Haw. — montanata. Hiib. 4>8. 248 fern.

13. Z. Vauaria Z..— Wauaria. Hiib. 11. 55.— Don. 6. 196. 

 — V-nigraria Haw. var. — Ent. Tratis. pi. 7. f. 3. — Jure and 

 Julv, o-ardens. This species does not associate well with the 

 others, but at present I know of no better situation for it. 



The plant is Carduus {Cnicus) arvensis (Creeping Thistle).
