lection, and I htid not since been ;ible to find the species in Jiuy of my 

 southern excursions, although 1 liavo frequently searched for it. This 

 year I was fortunate enough to breed two from Chiclana, and to take 

 others on the wing at Malaga. A. olbiadactyla, which is referred by Dr. 

 llebel to the genus Gijpsocliares, Meyr., is identical with the Andalusian 

 species issued by JStaudinger iiiider the MS. name leptodactijla. 



Being unable to visit Chiclaua again, this excellent locality was 

 left practically unworked, but somewhat similar ground and vegeta- 

 tion were subsequently found from April 22nd to the 25th at Goto ; 

 here again torrents of rain and a bad attack of lumbago interfered 

 greatly with work as well as comfort, yet I found Phalonia 

 carpopliilana, Stgr., and JLolcoporjon hubulcoJIus, Stgr., abundant 

 in the larval stage, the latter of all ages in dried cowdung as 

 recorded by Staudinger from Kalisch's observations, and specimens 

 of both species occurred on tlie wing. Berries of Junijyerus macro- 

 carpus ixi\<\. phceniceiis were eaten by Gelecliia oxycedreJla, Mill., while 

 almost every leaf of one ])articular cork-tree had from one to four 

 mines of a Tisclieria, which requires very careful comparison with 

 complaneUa, Hb., and its allies. It resembles decidua, Wk., in size, 

 and dodoncBa, Stn., and complanclla, Hb., in the presence of a dark 

 spot near the base of the fore-wings on the underside ; Geleclua 

 sucedella, Edsn,, and Folychrosis hibernana, Stgr., also occurred. The 

 exact situation of Goto is near the point of land south between 

 the right bank of the mouth of the Guadalquivir and the sea — thus 

 immediately below the gigantic marshes of the Marisma, which abound 

 with wild-fowl of all kinds. The ground is preserved for game, red- 

 deer and wild boar being abundant. At one view I calculated there 

 were no less than 5000 flamingos in sight, some rising like a pink 

 cloud on the horizon, others feeding in long lines about the marsh, 

 others flying overhead with hoarse cackling, looking all legs and necks. 

 It was interesting to watch their movements through a good telescope 

 which I brought in the hope of meeting with the wild camels — my 

 guide told me he saw seventeen in one group in March, but they were 

 about 15 miles farther north. 



At Gibraltar an hour spent in the rain at the foot of the rock on 

 March 2nd produced larva) of Epermenia on UinhellifercB, of a small 

 Eucelis on AJijssum marltinmm, with an Elachista and a few other 

 things flying. 



At Tangier and Gape Spartel in the following month the persistent 

 gales rendered collecting almost hopeless. Single specimens of a few 

 interesting things were beaten out of fences and shrubs, notably
