 to the outer end of the fold, its attenuated apex not reaching the dorsum ; at the 

 outer third a broad transverse cream-white fascia, throwing an angulatod projection 

 outward at its middle, and attenuated to the dorsum before the tornus, its inner 

 edge clearly defined and slightly outward-curved ; beyond it the coppery brown 

 terminal area is thickly studded with brilliant steel-like scales, each narrowly tipped 

 with jet-black, many of these project into the dull leaden grey cilia (recalling the 

 form of the neck feathers of a Thaumalea). Exp. al., 8-9 mm. llindwhx/s as

SUFFOLK LEPIDOPTERA IN 1901-. 

 BY THE REV. E. N. BLOOMFIELD, M.A., F E.S. 



I am again able to record a good number of interesting species 

 taken in the County during the jmst season. For those I am indobtod 

 to the following correspondents, who have sent me lists of the rarer 

 species taken by them and the localities in which they occurred. The 

 Rev. A. P. Waller records captures at Hemley near Woodbridge, 

 Messrs. H. Lingwood at Needbam Market and Dunwich, Claude 

 Morley at Barham and Blakeidiam, A. E. Gibbs at Orford, and Dr. 

 Crowfoot near Beccles. Mrs. Mann, of Bungay, has sent me a full 

 list of all the species met with by her in 1904 at Bungay and Flixton, 

 and has also sent a list of the rarer species which had been taken by 

 her in previous years, thus adding considerably to the County List. 

 Both Mr. Waller and Mrs. Mann have made great use of their moth 

 traps, and h;\ve taken many good insects in them. 



Mr. (\ G. Barrett, as usual, h:is most kindly confirmed or deter- 

 mined most of the Micros, Mr. Waller having sent him all that 

 seemed doubtful ; while he has also determined various species for 

 Mrs. Mann.
