254 1 October, 



was a beautiful greeuisli variety of Ellopia fasciaria, known as var. 

 prasinmna, but very rare in British cabinets. Acidalia emutaria was 

 not uncommon in the saltmarshes, and A. rubricata occurred on the 

 sandhills north of the town. 



Myelois crihrum and Uomoeosoma hincBvella were found in the most 

 wind-swept situations, clinging closely to the stems and leaves of the 

 Onopordum and other thistles. H. nehulella occurred singly. Bhodo- 

 plicea advenella and marmorea and Pempelia formosa were to be found, 

 but rarely. Among Crambites, Crmnhus falsellus, uliginosellus, sela- 

 sellus, and salinellus were the best species, all unfortunately few and 

 far between ; the first-mentioned settled on posts or low walls near 

 the sea, the other three species in the saltmarshes. C. perlellus and 

 culmellus swarmed ; the former showed some beautifully marked 

 varieties. Platytes cerussellus was abundant on the drier parts of 

 the turf. 



The ScoparicB were scantily represented. Scoparia dubitalis, var. 

 ingratella, and lineola were the best species, but only one or two of 

 each were seen. 



Among Pterophori, Amhlyptilia acanthodactyla occurred every- 

 where, especially on the coast sandhills, where it was abundant. 

 Platyptilia Pertrami and Leioptilus Lienigicmus were not uncommon 

 on Achillea millefolium and Artemisia vulgaris, but usually at some 

 little distance from the sea. 



Tortrices, except a few common species, were difficult to obtain. 

 Tortrix viburna^ia and costana, var. latiorana, were in the saltmarshes, 

 but could by no means be induced to fly. Penthina sellana and fuli- 

 gana occurred, each singly on the flowers among the sandhills. Sericoris 

 hifasciana, Retinia pinivorana and Coccyx nanana were plentiful among 

 Scotch fir. Sericoris cesintana and lacunana, var. herha7ia, occurred at 

 Thorpe-by-the-Sea. Dicliroramplia saturnana, Phtheochroa rugosana 

 and JEupoecilia ajjinitana and vectisana were the only other species 

 worth recording. These last two abounded in the saltmarshes. 



Owing to the constant prevalence of cold wind, it was almost 

 impossible to find the Tinece, which undoubtedly abound at Aldeburgh. 

 The genus Oelechia was tolerably well represented, as may be seen 

 from the following catalogue, all from the coast sandhills: — Oelechia 

 distinctella, desertella, ohsoletella, rufescens, terrella, ajffinis, dijjinis, 

 dotnestica, obscurella, gerronella, senectella, marmorea, semidecandriella, 

 humeralis, similis, anthyllidella, pictella, and not far away populella, 

 fugitivella and dodecella, atriplicella (one specimen), and plantagi- 

 nella (abundant), occurred in the saltmarshes.
