204 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECOKD. 



6 p.m., and it occurred pretty freely on the following few days ; I 

 noticed some of the empty pupa eases pushed out from about the roots 

 of the plant. 



On July 4th, GraplwUtha snhocellana occurred about SalLi, and 

 on July 6th I took a freshly emerged specimen of Pliisia interroyationis. 

 A few Coccyx nanana were flying round tips of spruce trees in the sun 

 about 2.30 p.m., 1 have also seen them flying in the sun about 6 p.m. 

 Coccyx taedella occurred freely about spruce trees flying at early dusk. 

 Some very nicely marked specimens of Nudaria mundana occurred on 

 the stone walls on July 7th, on which date Scoparia viurana was 

 taken. 



On July 8th, I took Eupithecia vrinntata and Aryyresthia albistiia, 

 and Nan^iodia stipella was beaten out of fir trees. 



On July 9th, several Hedya lariciana were taken, and during the 

 next two or three weeks, but it never occurred commonly, I noticed them 

 flying about the upper branches of larch trees from one to two hours 

 before dusk. Faedisca occultana was fairly common among larch and 

 fir, fresh specimens being taken up to August 31st. When beaten out, 

 this Tortrix usually shoots out obliquely and down into the herbage. 

 Coleophura laiicella and Aryyresthia atmorielW'- were met with. This 

 last species, which is not described in the books on Micro-lepidoptera 

 available, was pointed out to me last year by Mr. Bower when he 

 visited the disrict ; it occurred fairly freely, and very visible traces 

 were noticed of its having been feeding in the tips of the larches. 



On July 10th, Aryyresthia sorhiella was noticed about mountain 

 ash trees with specimens of Ornix scoticella. CuculHa iitnbratica 

 was bred on July 11th. Tortrix cinnamomcana occurred sparingly on 

 July 13th, and subsequently; Amphisa yerninyana. Penthina sauciana 

 occurred in considerable numbers on this date, flying in the early 

 afternoon about bilberry ; I have also noticed them flying about noon. 

 Grapholitha niyromacidana occurred about ragwort, Sciaphila siib- 

 jectana, Catoptria cana, and Aryyresthia epirippella, the latter were very 

 plentiful flying about bracken, etc., in early evening (although it was 

 foogy and very damp) near a wild cherry tree which, when tapped, 

 simply swarmed with them. 



On July 14th Coreviia tnumtata and Cidaria populata were 

 noticed, while (Jra)iibus niaryaritelUis and Bactra lanceolana 

 occurred freely in suitable localities, I took one or two nicely 

 marked forms of the latter. I'eronca caledoniana was taken here, 

 a rather early date for this species, which was taken in pretty 

 good condition and more commonly on August 17th. Sericoris 

 lacanana was a perfect pest on the moors ; Panrplusia viercuriana was 

 captured and Orapholitha penkleriana occurred commonly about hazel 

 and alder until September. G. yeniinana occurred about bilberry and 

 later was by far the commonest Tortrix about this plant. 



On July 15th 1 took a single specimen of Ephippiphora triyewinana 

 at rest on a fence, Teleia dodecella was beaten out of firs about this date, 

 Bryotropha politdla, B. terrella and E. briinnichiana were met with on 

 16th, and of Sciaphila sinuaiw a few were beaten out of firs, and of 

 course S. viryaureana. 



On July 17th Anaitis playiata, Sropitla olicalis, S. prnnalis and 

 Scoparia awbiytialis were common. A single specimen of <!>'. crataeyella 

 was taken on an oak tree-trunk. Tortrix riridana was not so
