97. C. pygynxa, Zett. I have taken this pretty little species, 

 which is closely allied to G. pecleUa, Fall, {deeqnens, Meig.), at Alde- 

 burgh and Woodbridge. It is distinguished from C. steini by the 

 absolutely immaculate middle femora of the male. 



98. C. salinarum, Stein. This species was rather common at 

 Butley in Suffolk in June, 1907, and I expect occurs anywhere on salt 

 marshes, as I took it at Fawley in 1876, and Col. Yerbury took it at 

 Llanbedr on July 2nd, 1902. 



99. C. triUneella, Zett. It is only recently that this species has 

 been distinguished from C. sexnotata, Meig., and I suspect that 

 Meade's references to the latter apply to this new introduction ; I 

 believe, however, that I possess the true G. sexnotata from Butley in 

 Suffolk. G. triUneella was common at Rannoch in June, 1870, and 

 also occurred in Arran in 1882. Col. Yerbury also correctly identified 

 it from Eannoch in 1898. 



100. G. longicauda, Zett. Two males and one female taken by 

 me in the Lake District in July, 1876, were identified by Herr Stein 

 when he looked over my collection. I have closely examined them and 

 believe his determination to be correct. 



Strophosoriius curvipes, Bedel, captured near Bournemouth in 1905. — On 

 May 14th, 1905, 1 captured two specimens of a small Strophosomus in a sandy 

 place at Poole Heath near Boiirnemouth. I was convinced they were a species 

 new to ITS, but was told they were only small specimens of S. fulvicornis, Walton. 

 As I did not then possess that species, I put them reluctantly into my cabinet 

 as fulvicornis. Some years ap^o, when I took a nice series of fulvicornis in the 

 New Forest, I was again struck by the distinct appearance of my Poole 

 specimens. Experiments with ants and other work put the matter out of my 

 head. On June 22nd last I sent the two specimens to Dr. Sharp, and he returned 

 them to me as curvipes, Bedel. In Dr. Sharp's article in the Ent. Mo. Mag. 

 for July on the species {antea p. 150), he notes the capture of two specimens by 

 himself near Bournemouth this year, and that Bedel found two specimens in a 

 sandy place at Fontainebleati. — Horace Donisthobpe, 58, Kensington Man-

Immigrant Lepidoptera in 1912. — Pyrameis cardui was first observed by me 

 at Oxford on May 11th; Flusia gamma and Nomophila noctuella, which appear 

 to be its constant travelling companions, were, also seen on the same day, and 

 my nephew, Mr. H. G. Champion, reported the occvu'rence of P. atalanta, which 

 I saw in apparently quite good condition in one of the main Oxford roads two 

 days later. Scapula ferrugalis, a species that I suspect of strong migratory 

 tendencies, as I have more than once met with it on board ship far out in the
