Lasiocampa rubi, L. — A (J with the ti'ansverse lines widened, approximating, 

 and in part coalescing, forming a rather broad pale band. " From Robson's Coll., 

 ]895" (C.W.D.). 



L. trifolii, W. V.— Four examples of the pale form from Romney Marsh, 

 labelled at side " v. medicaginis, Bork." Of these one J is ■' From Robson's Coll., 

 1895" (C.W.D.), a ? "From J. Weir's Coll. 1884" (C.W.D.), and another fine ? 

 has a type-written label " Romney Marsh, Mitford, E. M. M., Mai'ch, 1873." 



L. quercus, L. — A varied series, including a fine, but slightly worn, S , almost 

 entirely deep chocolate colour, the central spot and sub-marginal band being indi- 

 cated in an olive-brown tint; "From Mr. Head, Scarborough, 1904" (C.W.D.) 



Odonestis potatoi-la, L. — A ^ , labelled at side " Wicken Fen," entirely of the 

 normal colouring of the ? . " From J. G. Ross, 1884 " (C.W.D.). 



Gastropacha UicifoUa, L. — A very fine series of fifteen examples (8 <? , 7 ? ). 

 Two S 's are labelled " Foxcroft" (C.W.D.), a (? " by Mr. Edwards," and two S 's 

 and two ? 's " Standish " (C.W.D.). A 3 and a ?," Cannock Chase, from R. 

 Weaver 1856" (C.W.D.), a ? "Cannock Chase, Downing's Sale 1894" (C.W.D.), 

 and a ? " B. Standish, Downing's Sale 1894 " (C.W.D.). 



Saturnia carpiin, Bork.— An unusually dark ? with strong rosy suffusion over 

 both wings, " Abei-deen, 1890." 



Endromh- versicolor, L.— A ? , " Old Standish, 1820 " (J.C.D.), is labelled at 

 side "Darenth Wood." Another ? , labelled " Standish, Rannoch, May 1857," is the 

 largest example of this species I have ever seen ; it expands 3 inches, 6 lines 

 (=87.5 mm.). 



Cerura vinula, L.— One <? , apparently bred, in which the usual grey pencillings 

 of the fore-wings have quite disappeared, leaving only the sub-basal transverse band ; 

 and a very fine ? , with the fore-wings unusually dark grey, especially towards the 

 inner margins ; the hind -wings are smooth smoky-black with pure white fringes, 

 and the dark markings on the abdomen are much enlarged. Both these aberrations 

 are labelled " from Mr. Head, Scarburgh, 1904 " (C.W.D ). 



C. hicuspis, Bork. — Eleven examples, some of them much discoloured by age. 

 Among the better specimens are one very fine <? "from Mr. Tester" (J.C.D.), 

 another "from T. Wilkinson, 1860 " (J.C.D.), and two " From Lovell Keays coll. 

 1900" (C.W.D.). 



Stauropus fagi, L.— A good series, including a fine pair of the now well-known 

 melanic form, " Marlow " at side ; " from W. Harwood, 1877 " (C.W.D.). 



Notodonta tritophus, W. V. — Three examples of this great rarity ; a c? in very 

 fine condition is interesting as being in all probability the specimen on which the 

 species was introduced as British by the late Mr. J. W. Douglas, and which after- 

 wards passed into the possession of the late Dr. P. B. Mason ; it is labelled 

 "J.W.D.," and "Bred from larva found in Essex. Douglas." (Cy. Barrett, Lep. 

 Brit. Islands, Vol. HI, p. 117). A more recent, but not quite so good <? specimen, 

 " Gravesend from Coll. Whitsmith " (C.W.D.), and a third, also a <?, but somewhat 

 damaged, "late Mr. Turner " (C.W.D.) ; " Rannoch " at side. 



Oluphisia crenata, Esp.— Represented by two examples, a $ , apparently bred,
