occurring on rocks all over the district. Melanippe galiata was 

 also again common, but getting worse for wear. The entire 

 absence of Colias edusa. which last year occurred wherever we 

 went, was a very noticeable feature ; but Sj^hinx convulvuU, not 

 noticed in 1900, was not uncommon if one could have spared the 

 time at dusk to work for it. Macroplossa stellatariim occurred 

 about flowers and walls. Of Odonata, the pretty ^Escltna inixta 

 was again fairly abundant ; but the only other species seen was 

 Sympetnim stnolatum, also abundant. Of Orthoptera, a fresh 

 species turned up in Thamnotrizon cinereus ; and, as last year, 

 LocHsta viridissima, Mecanema i-arium, and Ectohia Panzeri all 

 occurred at sugar, the last-mentioned in plentj'. But Leptophyca 

 punctatissinui, which in 1900 was a common visitor with the 

 others, was this year quite absent. Xiphidiinn dorsale, which last 

 year occurred commonly in the marsh frequented by .C mixta, 

 was not searched for, or would probably have been found again.
