Note on the Lepidoptera of Fowey. — The ' Victoria County 

 History of Cornwall ' contains hardly any allusion to Fowey in its 

 list of Lepidoptera, and as several species, there described as barely 

 recorded in Cornwall, are not uncommon here, it may be of interest 

 to note them. I have practically collected in the Fowey district 

 only during the months of May, June, and July, and, as light and 

 sugar on the coast are strictly " verboten" just now, collecting 

 resolved itself into " bush- whacking " by day, and dusking with the 

 net. From my experience I should judge that it would be a 

 remarkably productive locality in normal times. I had little time 

 for exploration except at a few week-ends. The most interesting 

 spot was the headland at the mouth of the bay. It is crowned with 

 a thicket of perhaps an acre of old blackthorn fringed with masses 

 of bramble, through which grow quantities of Lychnis diiirna, wood- 

 sage, and Galium mollugo. There are also bracken, gorse, and 

 patches of Silcnc maritima. I visited this spot on most favourable 

 evenings and took a nice little series of seven good DianthcBcia con- 

 spcrsa, as well as plenty of Eupithccia vcnosata at the Silene. The 

 blackthorn yielded a similar series of Seviiothisa altcrnata. Later in 

 the season five Leucania putrcsccns occurred at the wood-sage, but 

 were past their best when I discovered them. The clitf edge pro- 

 duced one Hypenoides albistrigalis and a good number of Stenia 

 punctalis ; later on Gnophos obscuraria were common in medium 

 shades of light to dark grey. MuUochrista miniata flew at dusk with 

 Thyatira batis, Habrosyne derasa, and countless commoner things. 

 Although clematis is scarce and local about here, I put up single 

 specimens of Melanthia procellata from isolated clumps in two locali- 

 ties. One wonders how it got there. June 22nd was a notable day 

 when I struck a bilberry " ride" near the entrance to the Tuxulyan 

 valley, where, in less than an hour, I took five beautifully fresh 

 Bomolocha fontis, three Chloroclystis debiliata (faded), two Perine- 

 pliele lanccalis, one Eucosmia undulata, and numerous Lygris popu- 

 iata (surely an early date for this, and they were not very fresh). 

 The same ride produced Asthena tcstaceata and other things. Apart 

 from these two localities, I took three Bapta bimaculata, one 

 Chloroclystis coronata, Earymenc dolabraria, and Cidaria picata. In 

 all I noted seventy species of GeometridcC. Of other families Arctia 

 villica seems to be common there. Atolmis riLbricollis swarmed on
