and one of Acidalia promutata. I think I may say that certainly neither 

 of these species are there double brooded, both appear in July, but 

 worn specimens of asinalis may be seen even in November. 



September 27th was devoted to an examination of the common 

 trees near Teignmouth. The oak yielded cones of O. Swederella and 

 mines of LitJiocolletis, which, from old experience, I may say will yield 

 lautella, Cramerella, and qtoercifoliella ; the Nepticula mines were empty. 

 The maple yielded L. sylvella and old cones of Oracilaria semifascia, of 

 which latter I took one perfect specimen. Nut showed everywhere the 

 blotches of the Ornix, and near Haldon I met with mines of Litho- 

 colletis Nicellii, this was in the long lane leading from the Newton road 

 to Haldon. On the hawthorn L. corylifoliella was scarce, L.pomifoliella 

 common. Two insects were conspicuous for their entire absence, these 

 wore Cemiostoma scitella and Tischeria eomplanella. NcpticulcB were 

 generally scarce, and almost invariably the mines were empty. 



September 28th. "Walked to Chudleigh, over Haldon. Nothing 

 new in Micro-Lepidoptera, but Lithocolletis Bremiella was again met 

 with in Chudleigh Glen. 



On the heath, were there are no CrucifenB, Plutella cruciferwrum 

 was seen in swarms. 



In tlie foregoing account the exact localities are given, in order 

 that any visitor to Teignmouth may profit by them. 



Few of the larger Lepidoptera occurred to me during my stay, the 

 species chiefly worthy of note, either seen or captured, were the 

 following : — 



Golim Musa, 23rd, 28th. 



Vanessa polychloros, 28th. This is unusually late for this insect, 

 which hybernates very early. 



Cynthia Oardui. Very abundant. 



Macroglossa stellatarum, 22nd, 26th, and 28th. 



JEpisema cceruleocephala, 25th. In Devon this is decidedly a rare 

 insect. 



Agrotis saucia, 27th. Beaten from thatch. 



Epunda lickenea, 21st. 



Poliajlavocincta. Several at light. 



Dasypolia templi, 27th. A $ at light. 



Larentia pectinitaria, 28th. In Devon this insect appears in May 

 and again in autumn ; near Birmingham, where it is also much rarer, 

 it seems to me only to occur once a year, in June and July. 



Thera variata, 24th. Near Teignmouth this is usually rare.
