joints and antennal pectinations they liave been found to be identical 

 with a specimen of inconspicuella formerly in the Barrett Collection. 

 The ^ of the Kinloch-Rannoch insect has, however, yet to be 

 found. May 17th : Aviphysa prodroviana, a little worn, occurred 

 at elevation of about 1000 ft. May 18th : Larvae of Scoparia vuirana 

 were found under moss on a wall at Kinloch-Eannoch. May 

 19th : PupaB of Arctia fuliginosa among ling. May 21st : Larvae 

 of Lasiocampa querents, var. calbmce, not uncommon. May 22nd : 

 Peronea mixtana, still in good condition, occurred on ling. May 

 23rd : Lavipropteryx sicffumata, ab. piceata. May 24th : Lophoderus 

 politana very plentiful ; a long series obtained. May 28th : Odon- 

 tosia carmelita in the fine birch wood at Annet, and two pupae of 

 Dasychira fascelina on ling. May 31st : AmhlyptiUa cosmodackjla ; 

 a few hibernated examples ; obtained much more freely later (Sep- 

 tember 6th), flying over heatli in the shelter of a pine plantation. 

 June 1st: Ematurga atomaria ; a few nice $ $, but the series 

 obtained does not show a great amount of variation. June 5th : 

 Fidonia carbonaria and Anarta melanopa at an altitude of over 

 2000 ft. Anarta cordigera seen, dashing along at a considerably 

 lower elevation. Clepsis rusticana not common. Etipithecia saty- 

 rata common on Schiehallion at an altitude of between 2000 and 

 3000 ft. June 6th : Loplioderus ministrana abundant in the birch 

 wood at Annet. A long series of the fine dark form, var. ferniginea. 

 June 8th ; Gelechia longicornis rather common ; a few paired moths 

 found on rocks ; also Acronycta mcnyanthidis. June 9th : Eupcecilia 

 ciliella ; a small series obtained on or near the track to the left of the 

 burn (Allt Mor) at Kinloch-Eannoch. There is a good growth of 

 Drosera, Pinguicnla, Alchemilla, and Pedicidaris in the wet portion 

 of this track favoured by ciliella, but I did not see any moth engaged 

 in ovipositing ; nor did I find in the few seed vessels of Pedicidaris 

 and Pinguicida that I examined any evidence of the presence of 

 lepidopterous larvte. Polia glauca occurred on stones. June 10th : 

 Mixodia scJml.ziana ; I obtained a fine, variable series of this hand- 

 some Tortrix. June 12th : There is, four miles out of Kinloch- 

 Eannoch, on the Struan road, a locality with a reputation for good 

 things. Here, among Arctostaphylos uva-7irsi, I found Coccyx nemo- 

 rivaqa in plenty, and Orthotania mygindana almost as plentiful; 

 mho Orthotcenia arbutella. Monivia gracilis in fair condition at this 

 late date. June 13th : Scoparia amhigualis {atomalis, Dbld.) common, 

 and Malenydris salicata not uncommon. June 14th : Acronycta lepo- 

 rina among the birches at Annet. June 15th : Cramhus pratelhis, 

 somewhat smaller and darker than the southern type. Hyp)pa recti- 

 linca on stones. I sugared for this species, but the sugar failed to 

 attract this, or anything else. Larvae of Agrotis castanea on ling. 

 June 16th : Penthina dimidiana not common. Later on I found the 

 balloon-shaped tents of the larvae commonly on Myrica gale. Gelechia 

 triparclla,\-:iv.myriccs,OGcm-ved ; also Acronycta eup)horhi(£,\iiv.myricce. 

 June 19th : C or duleg aster annulatus seen near the big burn. June20th : 

 Eriocephala aureatella ; this insect occurred in the Black Wood of 

 Eannoch, but was scarce ; also, the interesting pale form of Drepana 

 falcataria, and a few Xanthorhoe tristata. June 22nd : Coccyx dis- 

 'tmctana in the Drumchastle Wood. A number of American lumber-
