 gilvaria, Seniasta rufillana, Peronea aspersa?ia and Arge galatea. 

 August 3rd. Emmelesia affinitata. Sugar was of little use. I captured 

 a dark brown unicolorous $ of Odonestis potafa>ia, and have a few 

 larvae, from ova laid by her, now feeding. Cleora lichenaria, Agrotis 

 ripce and Apamea ophiogranuna are, as far as I know, new to the Deal 

 list. I also collected a number of pupae of Odontia dentalis, and liave 

 bred a long series. In all, excluding Tine^, I noticed 245 species of 

 lepidoptera during the time of my stay. — C. Fenn, Eversden Hous--,

St. Afine's-o/i-Sea. — On the few favourable days we had at the end of 

 April we did fairly well on the sallows, taking Tceniocanipa gracilis (very 

 plentifully), T. gothica, T. instabilis, T. rubricosa and T. opima. A few 

 hybernated specimens were also to be seen, Caloca>npa exoleta, Agrotis 

 suffusa, etc. From that time until this month the wind kept pretty well 

 in the east, when moths came freely to sugar. Viminia rumicis seems 

 the common moth this season, but unfortunately I was too late for it, 

 and did not get many good specimens. I also took Hadena adusta, H. 

 dentina, H. pisi, Cuspidia psi, Leucania comma, Aliana strigilis, AT. 

 fasciuncula, Grammesia trilinea, Afaniestra albicolon, Af. brassiccs, 

 Apamea geniina, Heliotliis marginatus (2), Noctua f estiva, N. plecta, A. 

 basilinea, Agrotis exclajnationis, Alamestra sordida, Euplexia lucipata, 

 Pusifia tenebrosa, Agrotis corticea, etc., and some worn T. stabilis and 

 T. gothica on June 17th. I did not get AI. strigilis until June 17th, nor 

 AI. fasciuncula until June 26th; but I missed three days sugaring before 

 the latter date as the wind was so high. On that date moths simply 

 swarmed to sugar. It was a very close hot day, with a good deal of 

 thunder and much rain. With respect to AI. strigilis and A/, fasciuncula, 

 I noticed particularly that the former is invariably the larger moth, here 

 at any rate. Of course the two overlap as it were, but, take them all 

 through, strigilis is far larger, and this is especially noticeable on the 

 sugar, when you see ten or twelve of each sort together. The 26th was 

 certainly one of the best nights I ever recollect for quantity, but I did 

 not get anything in particular except a (q\v Alamestra albicolon and one 

 beautiful Agrotis corticea, a very dark velvety looking moth, with the 

 fringe and tip of the upper wing very light and shiny. I think I made 

 rather a find on Saturday : I was exploring round our cricket field with
