wings of these insects are folded very differently to the Tortri- 

 cidce generally, bearing a stronger resemblance to the Cramhi, 

 which they will probably connect with the former family by 

 means of Chilo passing through the Inopiance of Haworth, 

 being connected with the other Tortrices by means of his group 

 Fasciariae : the lanceolate wings, the slender anterior legs, and 

 the bars of the superior wings, which may be traced even in 

 the 8th species, are other important characters.

The charming insect, a female of which is figured, is pro- 

 bably in its larva state a lichen feeder ; the specimens I found 

 were settled upon the face of the rocks on the left, ascending 

 Arthur's Seat from Holyrood House ; and from its similarity 

 of colour to the lichen that is distributed over the rocks was 

 very difficult to detect. It was easily secured, from its indispo- 

 sition to fly during the day ; its generic name signifies ' flying 

 in the dusk' ; the female is rarer than the male. 



C. octomaculana I took on the borders of the Highlands, 

 with so many rare and nondescript species, that I hope soon 

 to have an opportunity of giving an account of them in a form 

 that will be serviceable to entomologists, and induce others to 

 explore the rich mines of the North. 



C. Cantiana I have never seen except near Dover and at 

 Darent, in the county of Kent, which has induced me to give 

 it the specific name it bears : it is smaller than C. ^-punctana, 

 which it most resembles ; it is more silvery, nearly plain, and 

 tlie superior wings are narrower and more acute. 



The handsome Geranium sanguineum (Bloody Crane's Bill) 

 ornamented the rocks with its beautiful flowers on the spot 

 where the moth was taken.
