I believe several specimens were taken the 2d of July, 1830, and the 14th of the 

 same month the following year. This is an interesting discoveiy, as it shows the dis- 

 tribution and times of appearance of a small moth. In ascending Schichallien in 

 company with my friend Mr. Dale, on the 11th of July, 1825, we met with this insect 

 in great abundance on the north side, near and at the top, upon the turf amongst the 

 rocks; we found it in a subsequent year amongst heath, at an elevation of about 1000 

 feet, on mountains in the neighbourhood of Ambleside in the middle of June, and 

 afterwards at Trafford, near Manchester. 



22. Septentriotiaiia. Dark brown, superior wings with a darker oblique fascia, the 

 costa spotted with white ; inferior wings fuscous white. 



Expansion seven lines. 



Blackish-brown, superior wings somewhat variegated with grey, with an indistinct 

 oblique band across the middle, narrowest at the costa, which is marked with six or
