Linn. ? — The larvae are found on oak leaves in November ; 

 they feed on the parenchyma, forming a cocoon, between the 

 plates of the leaf, surrounded by their excrement, which in- 

 flates the leaf, and when ready to hatch, the chrysalis works 

 its way through the plate of the leaf beneath, and the moth 

 escapes : this happens in May and June. 



11. Spartifoliella Hub. pi. 49. f. 335.— punctaurella Haw. 578. 63.— 



Broom fields, Coomb-wood, June ; and near Dunkeld, m. July. 



12. hortella Haw.— Cramerella Don? l\. pi. 392. f. 1.— e. May, 



skirts of woods. 



13. Ulmifoliella Hub. pi. 66. /. 444. — I have taken one specimen of 



this insect. 



14. sylvella Haw.— Blancardella Don? 11. pi. 392. /. 2.— e. May, 



woods. 



15. cuculipenella Haw. — Coomb-wood. Hiibner's fig. 192. pi. 28. 



represents, I suspect, a Gracillaria. 



16. autumnella Curtis Brit. Ent. pi. 284. — For the history of this 



elegant little moth I am indebted to a lady, who informs me 

 that she found the larvae, pupae, and imago at the same time. 

 The caterpillars were observed the end of September and be- 

 ginning of October upon elm leaves ; they fastened themselves 

 by their hinder feet, and curved their bodies to walk as repre- 

 sented in the plate ; they eventually attached a cocoon to the 

 back of the leaf, by eight threads, four from each end, four 

 being fastened to the leaf, and four to two parallel threads, so 

 as to be suspended like a hammock ; and in two or three days 

 after, the moths emerged. Mr. Dale has taken specimens at 

 Glanvilles Wootton, on apple-trees, and others have been 

 found in the New Forest. The uncoloured figure shows the 

 natural size of the larva, the coloured one and the cocoon 

 being equally magnified. 



17. Corylifoliella Hub. pi. 28. / 194.— May and June, hedges. 



Coomb-wood. 



18. Alnifoliella Hub. pi. 23. f. 193.

20. rufipunctella Haw. — e. May, white-thorn, Kent. 



The plant is Polygonum Persicaria (Spotted Snakeweed).
