GEOMETEiE. 



Venilia iAiACULAEiA, L. — Near Corcomroe Abbey, Co. Clare ; 

 Timoleague, Co. Cork {R. D.). 



Eueymene dolabraria, L. — Timoleague, Co. Cork {R. D.).

Dasydia obfuscaria, Hh. — One taken on ragwort at Dowros 

 Head, Co. Donegal, in 1898, by G. P. Farren. Birchall's 

 reference to its occurrence in Kerry may perhaps be sub- 

 stantiated by some future collector. The addition of this 

 species and Larentia flavicinctata to our list is an additional 

 link between the Irish and the Scottish fauna. 



Hyria muricata, Hufn. — Two at Cloonee, near Kenmare, by 

 Mr. Dillon, rather larger and more suffused with purple than 

 those he has taken in Galway, A few at Creagh, near Ballin-

Abundance OF Lyc^na akgiolus near Eastbourne. — On visiting 

 the ruined castles at Pevensey and Hurstmonceux in September last, 

 I found Lyca^na ar,,wlus ^ymg about the tall ivy-covered walls, in the
