many species there noticed only in one county to the other, with 

 further information of value. 



For the county of Grloucester alone a list of nearly GOO species 

 of Macro- Lepidoptera has been drawn up by Mr. C. J. Watkins, of 

 Painswick, who has obliged me with a copy. It is published in Messrs. 

 Witchell and Strugnell's " Fauna and Flora of Gloucestershire ;" is 

 drawn up with care and accuracy, and contains a good deal of in- 

 teresting information. 



In Oxfordshire, Mr. Malcolm Burr has furnished rne with a list of 

 176 Macro-Lepidoptera found in the neighbourhood of Radley, in a 

 neat little pamphlet, "The Fauna and Flora of Radley and the neigh- 

 bourhood," by the Radley College Natural History Society. It 

 includes, in addition, lists of other insects of several Orders, with 

 other information, and is a creditable production. 



In Northumberland I ought to have mentioned that Mr. Selby's 

 "Fauna of Twizell " includes a large number of species for that 

 county, probably more than for Berwickshire ; part of which were 

 incorporated in Mr. Wailes's list, and the rest will doubtless appear 

 in that of Mr. Robson. 



In Scotland, Professor J. W. H. Trail has very kindly sent me 

 the " Transactions of the Natural History Society of Aberdeen," for 

 1878, wherein I find a catalogue of the " Lepidoptera of Dee " 

 (Aberdeenshire and Kincai'dineshire), drawn up by himself, extending 

 to 460 species, and including some of the Tortrices. It contains a 

 great deal of interesting and valuable information on other Orders. 

 He further draws my attention to a list of the Lepidoptera of the 

 same district, by Mr. Wm. Reid, published in the " British Naturalist," 

 1891 — 3, which contains a few additional species and further informa- 

 tion, but which I had overlooked. 



Upon seeing my previous remarks i*especting the earlier Irish 

 lists, the Rev. W. W. Flemyng, with his usual kindness, sent from 

 Portlaw, Waterford, for inspection, his copy of the " Natural History 

 Review," vol. i, 1854, which contains the Rev. Joseph Greene's list of 

 the Lepidoptera of Ireland. This consists of 415 species, with some 

 notes, and also indications of the sources from which a portion of it 

 was obtained. The errors which it evidently contains seem mainly to 

 be attributable to a previous list made out, with an excess of credulity, 

 by Mr. A. H. Haliday, whose attention was really directed far more 

 strongly to other groups. 



It thus appears that we have general county lists for Dorset, 

 Devon, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, the Cambridge Feu district, Suffolk,
