would render their separation unnatural ; and whatever may 

 be their arrangement, P. luliana must accompany P. succedana, 

 of which I can almost imagine it a fine variety. 

 The following are British species. 



1. ramella Z/m;^ — Goda.pl. 253. J^ 2. — laetanai^36. — harpana 

 Hub. Tort. pi. 12. f. 71.

 land, J. C. ; also in Ireland.

7. bilunana Haiso. 436. 131. — cretaceana Goda. 256. 5. «, b. 

 Haworth says on the trunks of Ash-trees, but 1 always find 



them sheltered in the deep chinks in the bark of Birch-trees, 

 in Coomb, Birch, and Darent Woods, the beginning of June. 



8. albana Haw. 436. 133. 



This species follows No. 2. in Lep. Brit., to which probably 

 it is most nearly allied; it has been taken in Yorkshire and 

 Darent Wood the end of June. 



9. sesquilunana Haw. 435. 130. — fimbriana Thunb. — trique- 

 trana Goda. 249. 3., but not, I think, of Hub.

 of Surrey and Kent. 



10. subocellana Z)o7i. 1 1. 380. 1. — campoliliana. — Goda.25\.l. 

 End of June and beginning of July, hedges round London, 



particularly in Kent. The Caterpillar lives on the parenchyma 

 of the leaves of a Sallow, is found in the middle of September^ 

 and becomes a pupa in a fortnight or three weeks.

 — decoranaHaw. 437. 137. 



July, Darent Wood ; said by M. Duponchel to fly in society. 



12. Juliana Be7it. — Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 583. 



I have found this beautiful little Moth twice on a rose-bush in 

 a garden in Suffolk, many years since ; it was afterwards taken 

 by Mr. Bentley ; and the 22nd of last July I caught a very fine 

 specimen at the base of Turk Mountain near Killarney, which 

 is blacker than the one figured. 



Muscari racemosum (The Starch-hyacinth) was gathered the 

 end of last April by Dr. Bromfield in abundance, in corn-fields 

 at Cavenham, near Bury, Suffolk, and he kindly communicated 

 the specimen figured.
