54 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
As it seems very improbable that the insect has been before 
described, and is thus without a name, I beg to propose that we name 
it Crambus cantiellus. Kent has produced so many good species, 
and entomologists have had so many hours of real pleasure in its 
woods and on its hills, that I think none will find it objectionable 
to name this Crambus after a county in which much of our 
leisure has been spent.

THE LEPIDOPTERA OF NORTH KNAPDALE, 
ARGYLLSHIRE. 
By Joun Mackay, F.P.N.S. 
A very interesting article appeared in the ‘ Entomologist ’ 
(Entom. xviii. 229), by Mr. Howard Vaughan, on the “ Lepi- 
doptera of North Knapdale, Argyllshire,” in which the writer gave 
a brief account of his collecting experiences in that district, in 
the month of June. Comparatively little seems to be known of 
the Lepidoptera of this rather remote place, and every item of 
information on the subject is valuable on that account. It 
fortunately happened that Mr. Vaughan visited Knapdale in 
June last year, and as I spent nearly a fortnight collecting in the 
same neighbourhood in July, our respective lists of captures will 
help to contribute some slight knowledge of the Lepidoptera 
peculiar to this district during those months. 
Kilmartin, the place where Mr. Vaughan stayed, is situated 
some miles distant from Tayvallich, the little secluded village 
where I spent my holidays. ‘Tayvallich, or Tigh-a-Bhealaich, as 
it is sometimes called, is some thirteen miles distant from 
Ardrishaig, and can only be reached by means of the carrier’s 
gig, which serves to keep up communication between the two 
places. The village, which is beautifully situated, consists of 
only some thirty odd cottages, and is bounded in front by a broad 
bay, which forms part of Loch Sween, and a short distance 
behind by Carsaig Bay, beyond which is the Sound of Jura. On 
either side of the village are high hills covered with birch 
plantations, while near at hand are plenty of moorland and peat 
moss, which should produce many plants and Lepidoptera
