apical marks well defined. ^L'lanippe rivata. — One specimen only. 

 M. sociata. — One example, in fine condition, with dark central band. 

 Larentia aqueata. — A few specimens came to light, mostly worn, one 

 only had the delicate green tinge which marks the recently emerged 

 specimens. The habits of this species are very like those of its ally, 

 L. mlkata, to which it bears considerable resemblance as it sits on 

 the rocks. L. ri/anata. — One specimen only, which came to light. 

 This was a small male. L. injidaria. — Two beautiful specimens of 

 this species, which is closely allied to L. Jiaiicinctata, came to light, 

 one of each sex. Von'mia fernifjata. — One example, in fine condition, 

 at light. Antirlea bcrbcrata. — The Alpine specimens of this species 

 difter considerably from British specimens, the black transverse lines 

 being more continuous, and the brown markings absent. One finds 

 it pretty generally distributed in the Alps, where barberry is very 

 abundant ; yet I never remember having seen the moths abundant. 

 It came to light at Bourg. Boannia repandata. — One worn example, 

 also at light. />, (jeiniiHiria. — One specimen taken on a pine trunk, at 

 about 4,000 ft. elevation. Gnophosobsciirata. — One very dark example, 

 captured at light, closely resembling the specimens from Perthshire. 

 a. diliu-idaria var. iiwndicaria. — A few specimens, in very poor condi- 

 tion, came to light. Acidalia nd)ii/i)iata {rubricata). — This species 

 was not at all uncommon in the lucerne fields, and on waste slopes 

 covered with long rank herbage. The specimens appear to be 

 just like our Sultolk examples. A. ochrata. — The specimens of this 

 species were abundant on one little slope, overgroAvn with wild flowers 

 and grass. They were much larger and more brightly coloured than 

 our British examples, which are, indeed, the var. penn-hraria, St., 

 the brighter, larger race of southern Europe being the type of the species. 

 This was probably a second brood. The species used to be at its best at 

 Deal the first week in July, seven weeks earlier than the date of capture 

 at Bourg. A. rnfaria. — One male specimen only, worn. A. Jiuiniliata. 

 — One worn example only, without red costa. A. arersata. — A few 

 specimens of the unicolorous grey form (ab. spuliata) only taken, the 

 banded type not seen. A. vianjinepiuictata. — One specimen came to 

 light, of the same pale form that occurs in Kent. A. ornata. — Abun- 

 dant, and in fine condition, on the same rough slope that A. uchrata 

 frequented. KnuncJcaia adaeqiiata and iV. minorata. — Kather uncom- 

 mon, at about 5,000 ft. elevation, on the mountains behind the 

 village, the latter much worn, the former in good condition. We 

 took the former on the Little St. Bernard Pass, on July 81st, 1894, at 

 nearly 7,000 ft., flying, at dusk, in profusion. Here both species 

 were evidently going over. Kupithevia centaurcata, KupU/iccia iiiipurata 

 and E. nepetata. — Used to come to light every night ; the K. iinpii- 

 rata were very fine. E. tcuiiariscata. — One specimen only came to 

 light. E. Kobrinata. — One specimen only, also at light. Two other 

 species of the genus Kupitluria, taken at light, are quite distinct from 

 anything in the British Museum collection. 



Crambides. — Crambns jioidlus. — Perhaps common in some locality 

 not explored. Several came to light, although we did not notice 

 many specimens during the daytime. The specimens were all typi- 

 cally white, and not at all approaching the ab. warrhu/toni'llus. C. 

 inquinatdlm. — Not common. The few specimens seen were very 

 typical. C. cuhnellus. — Common, the males with silvery- white fore-
