230 THE LEPIDOPTERA OF DERBYSHIRE. 



auspices of the Burton-oii-Tient Natural History Society, two 

 lists of the Macro and Micro-Lejiidoptera of the country round 

 Burton were published in 1885-9 and 1892 respectively, and 

 these lists, which include the records of Messrs. Brown and 

 Garneys, form, the foundation of our county list. In 1895, 

 Mr. F. W. G. Payne published a paper on the Macro-Lepidoptera 

 of Derbyshire in The Eiiiomologist. Lists from the Bakewell 

 district by the Revs. C. F. Thornewill and R. H. Fuller were 

 incorporated for the first time, as well as some notes from 

 Chesterfield, and, in spite of some errors, it marks a distinct 

 increase in our knowledge of the northern part of the county. 



Since the publication of this paper, Mr. J. Hill has kindly 

 furnished me with an authorized list of Lepidoptera, chiefly 

 from Little Eaton ; Mr. Hugo Harpur Crewe has contributed 

 notes on the Melbourne district ; and Mr. E. A. Cockayne from 

 the moors between Ashopton and Baslow. The Rev. R. H. 

 Fuller, Mr. G. Pullen, and others have also provided much 

 useful information.
