9. — Chortodi's morrisii {hondii) has been bred from larvte found in 

 Juno, feeding in the grass tussocks of Arrlicnatheniin avenaccwn. 

 The sickly-looking stems break ofi' close to the roots when gently 

 pulled, and usually below them a larva or pupa is to be found. 



10. — In June the flowers of C'utuneaster microphijlla are very 

 attractive to Noctuid moths. 



11. — Imagines of Drcpana hamula may be passed over for Oiyijia 

 antiqua. They fly in the hot sunshine up to midday around young oak 

 trees, and are sometimes common. 



12. — The eggs of Drepana umjuiada may readily be obtained by 

 enclosing a captured female, in a muslin sleeve, on a branch of a 

 growing beech tree. 



18. — In May, search or beat Genista ani/lica for larvae of Pseudo- 

 terpna pndnata, Depressaria costosella and CuleopJiora genistaecolella. 



14. — In the last week in May the maple flowers should be searched 

 or beaten for larvae of E'upithecia snbciliata. 



15. — The larvae of Eupithecia sohrinata are to be beaten in great 

 abundance in May and June, from juniper, 



16. — Beat nettles into a newspaper at the end of May and begin-

 very un-Geometer-like, caterpillar with humped back. This is the 

 larva of FhiboUa limitata (Arkle), 



17. — The larvae of CEdematophorm litlwdactylus, when young, are 

 to be found in the terminal shoots of Imda dysenterica ; later on 

 they hide during the daytime, but may easily be got after dark, when 

 they feed, exposed, on the surface of the leaves (South), 



18. — At the end of May the blackish larvae of Phijcis betiddla should 

 be collected from the rolled-up leaves of birch. 



19. — The larva of IVwdophaea marmorea feeds on dwarf sloe in 

 May and June, generally choosing low, stunted bushes, and spinning 

 the leaves together in a web. 



20. — The larvae of Bhodophaca eonsocidla make little bunches of 

 the terminal shoots of oak bushes in June. The larvje of Rhodophaca 

 tumidcUa feed between several united oak leaves on the higher oak 

 trees during the same period. 



21. — The larvae of Ditula seviifasciana feed in united shoots of 

 sallow in May and June, generally preferring dwarf and stunted 

 bushes, and the imago appears in July. 



22. — By beating whitethorn hedges into an umbrella in early May, 

 the pupffi of Spilonuta sufusana, Sideria ac/tatana, Sciaphila nuhilana, 

 and other Tortricids, may be obtained in abundance. 



23. — The larvae of Coleophora t/enistaeculella are to be found 

 abundantly in June on Genista anijlica. 



24. — By nipping off suspicious-looking Lychnis (L. diurnea) buds 

 in May, the larva of GelecJda viacariella is to be obtained. 



25.— The larvae of Depressaria atomella are to be found in the 

 shoots of Genista tinctoria about the beginning of June. 



26. — The larvae of Anarsia spartiella are abundant in early June, 

 feeding on the flowers of furze. 



27.— Towards the end of May, the larva of Depressaria nanatella 

 draws the two edges of a leaf of the carline thistle together, and feeds 

 in tlie roll thus made. The white, shiny under-surface of the leaf 

 being exposed makes it conspicuous.
