3Iirr()-Lepidopfera in the Oxford district. — The following is the continuation 

 of an article on the same subject published in tliis Magazine in October 1914. 

 It is based for the most part on observations made in the years IQIT), 1919, and 

 1920; but a few isolated notes made during " leaves " in the period 1915-19 are 

 also included. The Tineina are omitted; interesting records of such "small 

 fry" from tliis district are so numerous that they must appear (if at all) in a 

 separate article,
