LOCALITIES FOR BEGINNERS. 79. 
such a ramble as we have had to-day, and who are now no more, 
we are reminded of the words in Tennyson’s poem, ‘ The 
a if oD. 
Brook :”— 
‘* For men may come, and men may go; 
But I go on for ever ;” 
Leaving Kemsing we make our way to the south for Seal 
Chart. Again crossing the railway we leave a likely-looking wood 
to our left, and follow the right-hand road. ‘This brings us toa 
farmhouse, amidst more hop gardens; by the farmhouse is a 
guide-post, and we take our way to the left. There are some old 
elms by the farm wall, and at their feet is a fine bed of ground 
ivy (Nepeta glechoma); on this we should find the cases of 
Coleophora albitarsella. On the roadside, a little further on, are 
some hollies, where several varieties of Lycena argiolus have 
been taken. 
Seal Chart is a fine fir wood of many acres in extent; perhaps 
a couple of miles long. To the entomologist it has the charm of 
being free. The trees are chiefly Scotch fir (Pinus sylvestris), 
buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), oak (Quercus robur), birch (Betula 
alba), holes (Ilex aquifolium), junipers (Juniperus communis), &e. 
The undergrowth is of heather (Calluna vulgaris), bilberry 
(Vaccinium myrtillus), golden-rod (Solidago virgaurea), &e. 
Just as we come up to the wood from Kemsing are high banks 
on each side of the road; these should be very carefully examined 
for the larve of Cucullia asteris and C. gnaphalii. They have 
been several times found here, as well as in the wood, feeding on 
the golden-rod. We keep straight on the Ightham Road, which 
leads us through the wood, until we come to Mr. George Saxby’s 
brick-yard; here we turn sharp round to the right on our road to 
Seal. If we have a favourable day, with time to spare, we may 
always make a good bag in the Chart. Of course we get the fir- 
feeding species, such as Ellopia fasciaria, Trachea piniperda, 
Thera firmata, and T’. variata, with several Tortrices and Tineina. 
From the bilberries we get Scotosia undulata, Coccyx vacciniana, 
Penthina sauciana, the latter sparingly, &e. Amongst the other 
moths we are likely to get are Tephrosia crepuscularia, Boarmia con- 
sortaria, B. roboraria, Epione advenaria, Hypena crassalis, usually 
common ; Stauropus fagi, Geometra papilionaria, Agrotis agathina, 
Noctua neglecta, Dipterygia pinastri, Cymatophora flavicornis, 
Notodonta dictea, N. dicteoides, and N. carmelita ; while Dicranura
