242+ THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
to sport unmolested. It is evident that the Moss once stretched 
almost as far as the eye can reach, and that the encroaching 
cornfields will, in time, compel Cenonympha typhon to seek another 
home, but this year C. typhon was on the wing in dozens. Carsia 
paludata (imbutata) rushes from the heath at almost every step; 
Anarta myrtilli, Saturnia pavonia (carpint) and Bombyx quercus 
challenge us to the chase. Such were the goodly company 
during last July, and I need not add that hostages are present 
with me as evidence of the fact. As we return we carefully 
examined the stone walls on the Morecambe road for Bryophila 
perla, where it rests in numbers during the day. With the aid 
of a friend I took a score on the walls of the railway-station 
alone. 
An account of our minor entomological rambles among the 
lovely scenery skirting the shores of Morecambe Bay would be 
beyond the scope of this narrative. One expedition, however, to 
the Witherslack Mosses, on the north or opposite shore, deserves 
special reference. Harly one morning in the very last days of 
the month, and under the leadership of Mr. Murray, I started 
on foot for Hest Bank, distant 23 miles along a part of the coast, 
which would well repay an evening visit. There is a fairly 
good footpath on the edge of the shingle. At Hest Bank 
railway-station we were joined by a Lancaster friend. After 
seating ourselves in the train we were soon rushing past 
Carnforth, Silverdale, and Arnside,—each well worth a day’s 
visit,—and so on to Grange-over-Sands, where Lycena corydon, 
I was informed, sports in profusion during the season. I may 
add that L. argiolus is said to be common enough at Arnside, 
while at Silverdale and Carnforth are Argynnis aglaia, A. adippe, 
A. euphrosyne, A. selene, and Melitea artemis. At Arnside I 
took Lycena icarus, Canonympha pamphilus, Lycena astrarche 
(agestis), and Anattis plagiata. 
At Grange-over-Sands we terminated the railway part of our 
excursion, and took the high-road almost due north for the 
village of Lindale. All along the road the rough ground on 
each side of the fences should be well worked, especially a rocky, 
boggy bit over the right fence, where A. plagiata occurs, and a 
young larch plantation over the left, commencing with a quarry, 
where the region of Hrebia ethiops (blandina) seems centred. 
There are plenty of willows in the fences, where we again took
