. Mixodia palustrana. — lu company with the last named, and almost as 

 common. Both are exceedingly active, and not very easy to secure 

 in the sushine, but it is possible to distinguish them when on the 

 wing, as palustrana flies more straightly forward than ustomaculana 

 which rather spins about, that is if my memory serves me. 



Mixodia Schulziana. — It may be worth remarking that this species was 

 quite common, though rather worn, on the top of Craig Cross when 

 there was not a specimen to be seen in the valleys. 



Orthotcenia antiquana. — Common in a small grass field, where we 

 used to find it flying just before dusk. Some specimens were 

 remarkably dark and strongly marked. 



Tinea ochraceella. — It seemed a curious thing to examine ants' nests in 

 the morning in order to find these moths ; yet there they were, 

 pretty commonly perched on the grass blades and bits of rubbish 

 on the tops of the nests. 



Prays Curtisella. — The only specimen that I took had the fore wings 

 entirely dark brown, the blotch being but little darker than the 

 ground colour. 



Gelechia galbanella. — Not uncommon on the trunks of the fir trees, 

 and easily distux'bed. 



(Ecophora stipella. — Among firs, but seems to prefer hiding among the 

 heath. 



(Ecopliora Jiavifrontella. — At rest on the fir trunks. 



Incurvaria Oehlmanniella.— I was rather surprised at meeting with this 



species on the summit of Craig Cross, it seemed rather out of 



place there. 

 Fleurota hicostella. — Pretty common among the heath and at least 



double the size of ordinary English specimens, besides being more 



strongly marked. 

 Lithocolletis vacciniella. — Pretty common on Craig Cross among 



Vaccinium Vitis-idcea. I did not see any in the valleys although 



its food plant was common. 



I believe we picked up some decently good beetles in the course of 

 the trip, but do not know much about them. When putting the sugar 

 on the trees for Noctuse we found numbers of Cetonia csnea paying 

 their respects to what remained from the night before. The handsome 

 Trichius fasciatus occurred occasionally, with head plunged deep into 

 into a thistle blossom, or flying about the orchids, &c.
