CAPTURES AND FIELD RKPOKTS. 355 



result being two earu-ii/s and one " daddy longlegs " ; last year at the 

 same time and on the same trees the foUowmg were positively 

 swarming: — Aniphipt/ra pijrawidea, Anchocelis pistachui, A. luiiosa, A. 

 litiira, Xanthi'i citnuju, X.fuli-ago 'AudiWdbV. fiacescenx, X. jianKjo (silaf/o), 

 (kilyiimia trapezimt, &c., with occasionally Cdtocala nnpta and Xcoitliin 

 (jilnufo. Chariclea umbra {iiiariiiiiiitu) came to '"sugar" several times, 

 also Nmiria reticulata. I have '"sugared " almost every night through 

 the season, on all the " old " grounds, and the result is naturally 

 disappointing. On the other hand, netiiug at dusk in the spring and 

 early summer has produced fairly good results. Asthcna randidata 

 could be taken eight or ten with one sweep of the net at Derrick woods, 

 Macaria notata, lodis lacteria, Tcphrosia punctularia, Uropterj/x sanibu- 

 caria, Tliyatlra batis, T. derasa, Dicranura furcula, Drepana falcutaria, 

 Cymatophora Jluctuosa, C. duplaris, genus Zouoaonia, Hecatera serena 

 (on fences), Pteruatoma palpina, Hyl.ophila praMnana, H. bicolorana 

 (quercana), Xumeria pulveraria', Bupalus pimaria, Geometra vernariay 

 Cr. papilionnria, and many others have occurred more or less in pro- 

 fusion. Notodonta dodunea, N. chaonin, and Flusia moneta I also had 

 the luck to take several times ; but, taking the season altogether, it 

 has certainly not been a good one here. — Alfked J. Lawrance ; 

 Bromley Common, Kent, Sept. 24th, 1901.
