We arrived at Trier on .iuly 27tli, and had now reached the very 

 centre of the wine-growing country, every acre with a suitable aspect 

 being devoted to vine culture, and had it not been for Mr. McLachlan's 

 memory serving him well, and his recollecting a suitable collecting 

 ground, our visit to Trier would have been an entomological blank. 



Bullay, on the Moselle, about midway between Trier and Coblentz, 

 was our next head quarters. The best collecting ground for Lepido- 

 ptera, as Mr. McLachlan has pointed out as being the best for 

 Neuroptera, was on the Alf side of the river. Here the vegetation 

 of the hills blended with that of the river bank, forming a varied flora. 

 At Bullay we separated, meeting again at Brussels. 



I returned by way of Coblentz, and one day's collecting there on 

 the hill sides completed a pleasant excursion.

Monotonia riifa and its allies : synonymical note. — The following note has been 

 communicated by Mens. A. Fauvel of Caen. "Crotch (Entomologist, ii, p. 179), 

 upon the authority of Aube, whose types I have seen, correctly established the 

 synonymy of Monotonia quadrifoveolata, Aub^, and M. sttbquadrifoveolata,\f sXerh., 

 but this is not followed by the Eev. Canon Fowler (Col. Brit. Islands, iii, p. 274-). 

 The synonymy should stand thus : —
