L., at Bentley and Felixstowe, C. falsellus, W. V., and C. contaminellus, lib., the 

 latter plentifully. Also at Felixstowe, Anerastia lotella, lib., llomceosoma sinuella, 

 F., in fair quantity, and Nyctegretes achatinella, lib. ; to these may be added 

 Shodophoea Jormosa, Haw., in the Orwell Woods, and last, though not least, 

 * Melissoblaples bipunclanus, Zett., of which a nice series was taken when sugar- 

 ing at Felixstowe; most of them were at rest on palings near the patches of 

 sugar, but two of them were settled in the daytime on a tarred shed on Landguard 

 Common. 



A few of the rarer Tortrices may be mentioned : *Tortrix cratcegana, lib., 

 *Euchromia purpurana, Haw., and Olindia ulmana, Hb., all at Bentley. 



The Tinece were not much collected. The best were Dasycera Ollvierella, F., 

 and (Ecophora lunar is, Haw., at Felixstowe ; this latter species, Mr. Pyett tells me, 

 is common at Ipswich. Several specimens of Gelechia celerella, Dougl., were 

 taken at sugar at Felixstowe. This species and Depressaria badiella, Hb., were 

 specially in evidence one windy evening when very little else was stirring. These 

 captures are very interesting, as it was on a specimen of G. celerella, taken at 

 Lowestoft, in July, 1871, that Mr. Stainton introduced Gelechia strelilziella, H.S., 

 into our lists. This latter, however, has not yet been met with in Britain. The 

 species marked * are new to the Suffolk list. 



Mr. C. A. Pyett has met with the following species new to the County : 

 Leioptilus osteodactylus, Zett., one at light at Ipswich; Penthina corticana, Hb. 

 (picana, Frol.), and Stigmonota nitidana, F. (redimitana, Gn.), both at Bentley 

 Woods. Conchy lis dilucidana, Steph., on the cliffs at Felixstowe ; and Tinea 

 merdella, Zett., and T. nigripunctella, Haw., both at Ipswich, the first in plenty in 

 the Lecture Hall, the second on the door posts of the Hospital.

The Walsingham Collections. — With a view to avoid misconception and enquiry, 

 it may be well to state for the information of our readers that by a Heed dated 

 November 23rd, 1901, between the Trustees of the British Museum and myself, all 

 my collections of Micro-Lepidoptera have now become the property of the Trustees, 

 upon the condition that I am to retain them in my care and custody so long as 

 I may desire to do so. 



This will in no way interfere with the study or improvement of the collections 

 during my lifetime, but will rather enhance the interest with which I shall en- 

 deavour to render them as complete as possible. — Walsingham, Merton Hall, 

 Thetford : November 2'Srd, 1901. 



Ophiodes lunaris in Delamere Forest. — While sugaring at Delamere Forest on 

 June 1st this year, one Ophiodes lunaris was taken by Mr. T. Wright, of Warring- 

 ton. Mr. Wright is a new beginner, and did not know what his capture was till 

 the end of the season, when he had it named for him. — A. G. Wallington, 10, 

 Arthur Street, Warrington : December, 1901. 



Re-occurrence of Atherix crassipes, Meig. — I went to Ticehurst again last July 

 in search of this Uipteron, and found it not uncommonly (both sexes) in the same 

 locality as before (cf. Ent. Mo. Mag., 1901, p. 10).— H. W. Andrews, Eltham : 

 December \Wi, 1901.
