8 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



been all other records coming elsewhere than the old locality 

 at York. It is quite possible this species may pass from our 

 Fauna, as the waste ground upon which it occurs may shortly 

 be put into cultivation. 



Ennomos Alniaria. — From near Dover is recorded the 

 rearing of two examples of this large Geometer, by the Rev. 

 E. Austin, in 1876 (Entom. ix. 278). 



BolUohia fuUginaria. — This frequenter of dark corners 

 was recorded in 1874 as being taken at Blackfriars Railway 

 Station ; a sufficiently dark and dingy locality (Id. vii. 96). 



Geometra smaragdaria. — Mr. A. Hodgson reports three 

 specimens from near Sheerness in 1873 (E. M. M. x. 180). 



Acidalia contiguaria. — Taken sparingly in North Wales 

 in 1874 — 5 — 6, by Mr. Capper. This year has been bred by 

 Mr. Joseph Sidebotham {in lilt.). 



A. degeneraria. — I hear this species has been again taken 

 in its old habitat, Isle of Portland {in lilt.). 



Macaria alfernata. — At Christchurch, Hants, one only, 

 1876 (Entom. viii. 278). Mr. John T. D. Llewelyn took two 

 in 1874 (E. M. M. xi. 158). I hear "this species is not 

 unfrequently taken between Bristol and Exeter" {in litt.). 



Sterrlia sacraria. — Mr. Llewelyn again reports one female 

 in 1874, from what may be called a head-quarters of this 

 lovely species. More have been taken in his neighbourhood, 

 Neath, I believe, than elsewhere in Britain, (Entom. vii. 260). 



Emmelesia iceniata. — Mr. Joseph Sidebotham tells me 

 that it was in abundance in a wood near Silverdale, North 

 Lancashire. 



E. hlandiata. — Mr. H. Jenner-Fust gives a new locality 

 for this species, Glamorganshire (E. M. M. x. 179). 



Eupithecia consignata. — Several taken at light in Cam- 

 bridge; also bred in same town (Entom. viii. 132). 



E. e.vtensaria. — A casual visitor from Northern Russia, 

 captured at Hull and reported by Mr, Prest (Id. viii. 109). 

 This has no locus standi in the British fauna. 



E. suhumhratn. — Mr. Hodgson took it frequently near 

 Sheerness in 1873 (E. M. M. x. 180). 



E. trisignata {}). — Mr. Prest sends me some specimens for 

 identification, it may be a variety of this species; of this 1 

 may have more to say later. 



E. Knautiata, Gregson. — Mr. C. S. Gregson described a
