152 THE entomologist's liECORD. 



8. — In June and early July, A(jrnth ^imulanfi can generally be 

 found in certain parts of Scotland — Forres (and probably elsewhere) 

 within doors. Norman visited the various rooms and outbuildings 

 just after dark, and found the moths fluttering on the inside of the 

 glass windows. 



9. — In July, the birch should be carefully searched for larva of 

 Asphalia jla vicornis. 



10. — During July, the larva of Pharctra albovcnosa is not at all 

 difficult to find by searching the reeds in Wicken Fen. 



11. — Towards the end of July and in early August, the yellow- 

 leaved reeds that show signs of dying and have a hole in the stem, 

 should be cut low down for pupre of Xona;iria neminipuncta. 



12. — In July, collect the seed-capsules of Silow injiata for larvee 

 of ] Hantltot'cia cons])ersa. Southern collectors would be glad if the 

 Scotch collectors could supply them with more of their forms of this 

 species. 



13. — During July, collect the unripe seed-heads of Silene nutans 

 for larva3 of Dianthoecia alhiwacida. 



14. — During July, the larvae of Dianthoecia cajtwphila feed at night 

 upon the capsules of Silene maritima (S. R. Fetherstonhaugh). 



15.— Rolled leaves of maple, collected in July, give larvae of 

 G racilaria, sem ifasciella. 



16. — The larvcB of Larerna rasclikiella mine the lenwes oi Epilobiuin 

 ani/mtifoliuin in July, whilst those of L. conturhateUa feed in the shoots, 

 drawing them together with a slight web. 



17. — " Nephoptery.r an(/nstella was not uncommon, but very local, 

 on horse-chestnut trees at Hampstead in June " (Machiu). 



18. — Crainbm furcatellufi occurs on the scanty turf which covers 

 the highest parts of Helvellyn and the adjacent mountains, early in 

 July. Most of our specimens of late years have come from Scotland and 

 Wales. 



19. — On June 27th, in the feus round Norwich, in a part of the 

 fen ankle-deep in water, creeping up from the tufts of a small rush, 

 and fluttering among the reeds, was Schuenobius nmcronellus in swarms 

 — hundreds of them — nearly all males, their flight lasting from 

 6-8 p.m. (Barrett). 



20. — The larvae of Enicostoma lobelia may be beaten from black- 

 thorn in June. Loughton used to be a well-known locality. 



21. — During the first and second weeks of July, the deep green 

 larvae of iJepressaria capreolella are to be found feeding on leaves on 

 the higher shoots of Pinipinella sa.eifra(/a. Through the plant being 

 buried amongst taller herbage, the larvte are difficult to find. 



22. — The lavwae oi Peronea jwi'iiiutana ieed in united leaves of the 

 lateral shoots of liosa spinosi.ssima in June, July and early August, 

 spinning a white silken web among the leaves. 



23. — The larvae of Grapholitha minutana may be obtained in June, 

 feeding between flatly united leaves of black poplar. 



24. — The imagines of Peronea shephenlana are to be bred from rolled- 

 up leaves of Spiraea ulmaria, collected in June. 



25. — The larva of Seinasia janthinana feeds in the berries of 

 CrataetjUfi oxi/acantha, uniting them in twos or threes by means of a 

 gummy substance, so that it can pass from one to the other without 

 exposing itself. It eats the pulpy part of the fruit only without
