Somr thirteen or fourteen miles north-west of London, a 
little beyond classical Harrow, on the London and North Western 
Railway, is Pinner Station, which may be reached by frequent 
trains from Euston Station. 
Leaving the railway we take the road west of the station, and 
shortly pass the “ Railway” Inn. To our right, in the distance, 
we see some wooded hills. Our business is to try and find out 
what insects those woods produce. Following the road, we come 
in about ten minutes to a park paling, enclosing a park with an 
old moat in it. By the sides of the moat are some alders. This 
park fence is about a mile in extent, but only a part of it stands 
in our direct road. Itis overhung with wych elms, beech, oak, 
firs, &c. With a suitable wind and a dull morning this fence will 
repay the time spent in examining it for Lepidoptera at rest 
thereon. Following it round brings us to Moss Lane, a nice old 
bye-lane, good for Geometers, &c., which may be taken at dusk, 
or disturbed with the beating-stick during the daytime. It is not 
now our intention to go all the way round, but to continue 
the road by which we came. Passing a guide-post on our left we 
shortly come to the end of Waxwell Lane, which may be known 
by a few lime trees around a well. Opposite is a cottage, with a 
gate to the left. Passing over the stile here we follow the path 
by the tall hedge on our right. If it be in its season, we 
may find the webs of Hriogaster lanestris larve, often in abundance.
