examined only very few showed any unusual variation, the best 

 forms being two or three in which the red markings tended to form

 with many Pyrales, flew up from the grass frequently, and of Stenia 

 piinctalis, which some years ago was a very abundant species in the 

 neighbourhood, but which it was feared had disappeared from it, 

 some half a dozen specnnens were dislodged from the herbage. As 

 the afternoon was drawing to a close the party wended their way 

 back to " Hodeslea," where Mrs. Adkin had a substantial tea 

 awaiting them, after which, and a little time spent in the garden, 

 they made their way back to the station and took the 8.20 p.m. 

 train for London.
