The Lepidoptkra of the smaller Channei. Islands. — In the 

 October number of the Piecord Mr. W. J. Kaye gives lists of butterflies 

 in the Channel Isles. I myself spent most of August in Guernsey, 

 going to Sark and Herm for one day each. To Mr. Kaye's list I can 

 add the following species. 



Sark: Pierh iiajti, Kiujonia judi/chloros, Aiilaif. iirticae, Pi/)-aiii('is 

 cardtii, Arijiinnis CKjlaia, Coenmu/inpha paniphilitx, aiid Pleheuix actpDi 

 (argus). All other butterflies in Mr. Kaye's list, with the exception of 

 Cda!>fri)ia aiy/ioliis, were also taken. 



Herm: All Mr. Kaye's eight species and Pieris brassicae, Picrifi 

 napi, (idneptery.v Titaiiini, Aylais urticae, Pyratjwix canliii, ('oenonijmpha 

 pamjihilus, Euiiiicta phlaeas, and Plebeitis aetjon {aryiis). Thus on one 

 day all the 13 Herm species but one were taken ! — E. Bolton King,

Some Moths taken at Teemezzo. — At last my wanderings led me 

 into a pleasant place. We arrived at Tremezzo, on the Lake of Como, 

 in the middle of April last. This townlet is the capital of the fertile 

 district known locally as the Tremezzina. In May and June it is a 

 land of flowers, though hardly any of them indigenous. To see the 

 indigenous flora one must get up the hill sides where conditions are too 

 rocky or too steep to allow oi cultivation. The Spring was very back- 

 ward and Lepidoptera were late in appearing. April 23rd, I saw half 

 a dozen Xanthnrhd'e (Melani/ipe) fiuctuata, and noticed that they were
