I have handed the Geometers to Mr. Prout, amongst them is a 

 specimen which he has not yet determined, taken at rest (with wings 

 folded as in Luphopteryx camcUna) on Ephedra, near the river at 

 Albarracin, where arborescent vegetation existed. I am not at all sure 

 that this may not prove to be a Notodont not very far from Rheymato- 

 phila. 



An odd specimen or two were picked up of the following 

 Phycitids : — Ephestia tephrinella, Cuenca; E. elntella, Tragacete; 

 I'terothri.c riifrlla, Cuenca and Tragacete ; Etiella ziiukenella, 

 Tragacete ; Dioryctria splendidella, Tragacete ; Aiispa auyustella,
