LOCALITIES FOR BEGINNERS. i) 
The walk I propose to take, in imagination, with my reader, is 
probably one of the most interesting a naturalist could select in 
the London district. As we go along I shall point out the best 
places for the Lepidopterist to work at his leisure; for he could 
scarcely do more in one day than saunter through the walk 
_ without spending much time in filling his boxes with the treasures 
to be found. Again, I would remind my reader that he cannot 
take all the species I may mention at one time, for many appear 
at intervals wide apart. He must, however, try to remember 
when they are due, and having once seen the locality I think 
he will be only too glad of an excuse to revisit it. 
Having arrived at the South Kastern Station in about an hour 
after leaving London, the visitor will see the Sennocke Hotel; 
we go to the right of it, passing the stable-gate, and up the hill 
through a plantation of Scotch fir, larch, and other trees. On 
each side of the road are close park palings. ‘These should be 
examined for Tephrosia crepuscularia and Penthina prelongana. 
Both of these moths and many others occur at rest upon them. 
We follow the road until it is crossed by another, and we are 
opposite the ‘‘ Bee-hive ” coffee tavern, a new institution among 
some raw-looking new houses. Now turn to the left, and sharp 
again to the right up a narrow way, past the back of the ‘“ Bee- 
hive.” Follow on to the old gas factory, which may be known 
by two iron retorts put upright in the ground, one on each side 
of the gate. Now keep down hill to the left, until the “ Man of 
Kent” is reached, when, straight to the right, we pass in a short 
time through a small swing gate under three tall elms. This 
puts us on to the path leading through the cottage gardens allot- 
ments, and now we can go on without much further fear of being 
led astray. 
As we pass along the path from the cottage gardens we notice 
the beautiful undulating country studded with woods on each 
side of us. Unfortunately these are, I believe, closed to the 
entomologist. ‘hose trees to the right are in Wildernesse Park, 
where may also be seen the house which is the seat of tie 
Camdens, but now occupied by Sir Charles Mills. Still follow- 
ing the path, we shortly crossthe avenue leading to the house ; 
then past a little patch of comfrey in the corner of a field, which 
is cultivated for cattle food. Here the gate leads into a lane; 
turning to the left, still we go forward, remembering that
