and bushy places : — Botys pandalis, Hb., B. hyalinalis, Hb., Crambus pinellus, L., 

 Euchromia purpurana, Haw., Grnpholitha nigromaculana, Haw., Bicrorampha 

 consortana, Wilk., Argyrolepia zephyr ana, Tr., Conchylis dilucidana, Steph., 

 Semasia rufillana, Wilk., all common locally ; Eupaxilia atricapitana, Steph., 

 common near Watlington ; E. implicit ana, Wk., one at Highmore ; Homozosoma 

 binsevella, Hb., Watlington ; Spilodes verticalis, L., Phoxopteryx derasana, Hb., 

 Dicrorampha acuminatana, Z., and Xanthosetia. zcegana, L. In the beech-woods 

 Carpocapsa grossana, Haw., Stigmonota flexana, Z., Peronea sponsana, F., and 

 Capua favillaceana, Hb., are common, and each may be found at times in extreme 

 abundance. The following also occur in woods : — Psedisca ratzeburgiana, Rtz., 

 at Wyfold; Scoparia truncicolella, Stt., at Chinnor ; S. cembrse, Haw., Caloptria 

 albersana, Hb., and Lobesia reliquana, "Wilk., at Watlington. 



In the course of various expeditions to the downs near Chinnor, I have 

 several times collected in localities near Stokenchurch, just across the Bucking- 

 hamshire boundary. As the List of Micro-Lepidoptera contained in the Victoria 

 County History of Buckinghamshire is very inadequate, I give a list of the species 

 I have noted there : — Pyralis glaucinalis,Ij., one; Ennychia nigrata, Sc, plentiful ; 

 Scoparia cembrse, Haw., Oxyptilus parvidactylus, Haw.,* Mimseseoptilus pterodac- 

 tylus, L.,* Aciptilia baliodactyla, Z.,* Crambus trist ellus, F.,* C. geniculeus, Haw.,* 

 Rhodophsea suavella, Zk.,* Peronea variegana, Hb.,* P. schalleriana, L.,* P. com- 

 parand, Hb.,* P. aspersana, Hb.,* Teras contaminana, Hb.,* Spilonotaincarnatana, 

 Hb.,* S. roborana, Hb.,* Orthotxnia striana, Schiff.,* Hedya ocellana, F.,* 

 Phoxopteryx derasana, Hb.,* P. lundana, F., P. comptana, Frol., Grapholitha 

 nsevana, Hb.,* Eriopsela fractifasciana, Haw., Stigmonota flexana, Z.,* S. roseti- 

 colana, Z.,* Catoptria cana, Haw.,* C. hypericana, Hb.,* Eupozcilia angustana, 

 Tr.,* E. ciliella, Hb.,* Chrosis alcella, Schulz.,* C. rutilana, Hb.,* and Argyrolepia 

 subbaumanniana, Wilk. Ml the Tortrices in the above list occur in fair numbers. 

 The most interesting of them are undoubtedly S. incarnatana and C. rutilana ; 

 I am curious to know if the latter has been taken elsewhere in this part of 

 England. 



An asterisk (*) has been appended to the names of such species observed in 

 Berkshire and Bxxckinghamshire as are not included in the lists of Lepidoptera 

 published in the Victoria History of these counties. 



If I have included many common insects among those mentioned 

 above, it is in the hope that they may help to swell a future list of 

 Bucks Lepidoptera.
