Zonosoma orhicularia. I have taken about a dozen, both flying in 

 daytime and at dusk ; four in 1893. — Z. pendularia. The only speci- 

 men taken was netted by Mr. J. V. Hart, Q.C., in July, 1893.

 on a larch tree, within fifteen yards of the house ; three in June, 

 1893, by the gamekeeper on the bog ; the rest by the ladies of the 

 family, who have always kindly set insects for me in my absence. 



Vemisia camhrica. One specimen. 



Acidalia dimidiata, A. virgularia, A. snbsericeata, A. immutata, A. 

 fumata, A. remutata. Single specimens of each. I could not identify 

 these and other Geometers ; Mr. Kane determined them. — A. aversata.
