78 OBSERVATIONS ON 



that I caught and bred from these trees, I never saw a light 

 variety." 



As the newspapers would say, this information is impor- 

 tant. 



Chrysoclista Schrankella, I. B., p. 242. Mr. Scott again 

 found the larvae near Renfrew, and also at Fochabers, Banff- 

 shire. Among the specimens bred two have occurred of a 

 dark variety, in which the entire central orange patch is re- 

 placed by black (only a few orange scales being perceptible 

 towards the inner margin, near the base, and immediately 

 before the last costal white spot) ; this variety is therefore 

 parallel to that of C. Linneella, and at first sight appears 

 like a totally distinct species. 



Chrysocorys festaliella, I. B., p. 248. Mr. Logan in- 

 formed me last spring that Mr. Hardy had reared this from 

 raspberry leaves. 



Elachista Treitschkiella, I. B., p. 250; bred last summer 

 by Mr. Boyd, Mr. Douglas and myself, from the dogwood 

 miners mentioned in the Ent. Comp., p. 53, under Lampro- 

 nia and Incurvaria. The larva may be found from July to 

 October, and is common at Lewisham and Mickleham. 



E. Gleichenella, I. B., p. 251. I found the larva of this 

 in a grass and in a Carex near Beckenham in March and 

 April ; it makes rather small whitish blotches on the upper 

 side of the leaf, and moves from one leaf to another ; the 

 pupa is unusually short. 



E. albifrontella, I. B., p. 252. I found the larva feeding 

 in the upper part of the leaves of Holcus mollis last April. 



E. Kihnunella, I. B., p. 253. Bred last July from larvae 

 found by Mr. Scott in a species of Carex, near Fochabers, 

 Banffshire. I am inclined to think that E. Alpinella, I. 

 B., p. 254, is only a form of this species. 



E. cinereopunctella, I. B., p. 254. The beautiful red- 

 spotted larva mines down the leaves of Carex glauca in
