as LyccEua corydon, L. astrarche, Arge galatea, the common Vanessce, 

 etc. Sugar produced nothing of note, Leiicania straminea, L. cofiigera, 

 Nonagria fulva^ Ccviiobia riifa, Hydrcacia niditans^ Apamea sublustris, 

 Cerigo cytherea, Lupei'ina testacea, Mamestra abjecta (i), Caradrina 

 blafida, C. cubicularis , Agrotis valligera, A. puta. A, siiffusa, A. corticea, 

 A. nigricans, A. tritici, Nodiia rubi, JV. iimbrosa, Hadena chenopodii, 

 Miana fiwuncula and AT. literosa were the best of a bad lot. On the 

 sandhills Lithosia pygmeola was scarcer than usual, and I fancy the day 

 is not far distant when this species, as far as Deal is concerned, will 

 cease to exist. A few Crambus contaminellus flew at dusk ; Aspilates 

 citraj'ia was not scarce, at rest on the grasses after dusk, and Eubolia 

 liiieolata abounded everywhere. We took a series of Odontia dentalis 

 among the Echium (at the flowers of which Afacroglossa stellatariim was 

 common), but it was scarce and local, as also was Melia anella obtained 

 by assiduous searching at the roots of the marram grass. Along the 

 dyke sides a few Lithosia coiuplana and Addalia eninfaria turned up, 

 but we were too late for the latter. Sduvnobius forficelius and Cxnobia 

 riifa were abundant, and gigantic $ Oaonestis potaforia occasionally 

 sailed over the Typha in company with Leiicania impura. Eudorea 

 pallida was not scarce, and a few E. lineolalis were knocked out of old 

 hawthorns by the beating-stick. Cledeobia angustalis, LLerbula cespifalis, 

 Crambus geniculellus and C. warringtonelliis, although occurring freely, 

 were not in such profusion as usual. 



On the Downs, etc., in the vicinity of St. Margaret's Bay, numerous 

 species were obtained, among them Litliosia griseoia, Gnophos obscurata, 

 Strenia dathrafa, Aspilates giivaria, EiipilJiecia piinpinel/afa, E. sub- 

 fiilvata, Me/anippe galiata, AI. rivata, Scotosia diibitata, Cidaria pyraliata, 

 Eremobia odiroleiica, LLdiothis inarginata, Pyralis cosfalis, P. giaiicifialis 

 (common in haystacks), Eudorea cenibralis, E. ingratella, C. angustalis, 

 LLonia:osonia siniiella., Phycis adornateiia, Oncocera ahenella, Melia 

 socielia, Tortrix icterana, Peronea aspersana, Didyoptcryx /loliniana, 

 Peiithina sellana, Sericoris cespitana, Eiidiromia striana, Sciaphila 

 nubiiaiia, S. pe?'terana, S. pasivana, Splialeroptera idericana, Phoxopteryx 

 comptana, Grapholitha nigromaculana, Catoptria ciFcana, Ephippiphora 

 trigeminana, Semasia rufillana, Stigvwnofa leplastriana, S. composana, 

 Dichrorhainpha politana, D. plumbagana, D. acuniinatana, Catoptria 

 micro^rammana {?), C. fii/vana, C. scopo/iana, C. cafia, C. citrana (i), 

 Aphelia osseana, Eupcecilia hybridellana, Chrosis tesseratia, Argyrolepia 

 zephyrana, Conchylis franci/Iana, and C. gigantana in more or less 

 abundance. The larvas and pupce of C. gigantana we collected in 

 plenty in the seedheads of Centaurea scabiosa. 



Of the TiNEiNA I will leave Mr. Tutt to speak, as he is far more at 

 home among them. 



Other larvae were scarce, with the exception of LLalias chlorana, 

 which were abundant, and a few Peronea hastiana, Snicrinthus oceliatus, 

 etc., all in osier.— Charles Fenn, Eversden House, Burnt Ash Hill,

Swansea. — On June nth, I went down to Swansea, hoping to do 

 great things among the coast species, but was grievously disappointed, 

 as, owing to the incessant rain, I was only able to sugar some half- 

 dozen times on the sandhills during my stay there, and then nothing 

 came freely to the bait. The L. and N. W. Railway runs along the
