252 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



tngrainmica were all taken at Fruges, the last showing the usual 

 variation, including var. hilinea. 



Rusina tenehrosa was common at Fruges. 



I came across a larva of Calymnia trapezina with its head and 

 anterior segments in the shell of a small snail. Its jaws were, 

 of course, invisible, but from the rhythmical movements of the 

 parts that were visible it appeared to be indulging its carnivorous 

 instincts in an unusual direction. 



Dyschorista fissipuncta was common near Kemmel. 



Heliaca tenehrata appeared in small numbers at Arras, 

 Avesnes, and Fruges. 



Hapalntis fasciana I found in the Foret de Nieppe. 



This is another rich locality. After a very long and tiring 

 march, we billeted about two miles from its western border. I 

 walked over in the early evening, and filled all my boxes in a few 

 minutes. Next morning I had to get up at 1.30 to pin my 

 captures, so that they might be packed in time for an early start. 



Scoliopteryx lihatrix was unusually abundant in all districts 

 visited. Fresh specimens were on the wing as early as the first 

 week of July, before tbe hibernated insects had disapjDeared. 



Plusia chrysitis was common at Fruges. 



Ahrostola iriplasia and A. tripartita were both common at 

 Heuchin and Fruges. 



Zanclognatlia tarsipennalis occurred in fair numbers at Fruges. 

 Pechipogon harbalis and Hypena rostralis were both taken near 

 Avesnes. 



lodis lactearia was quite common from Heuchin up to Locre, 

 in Belgium. At tbe latter i:)\ixce Heniitli.ra strigatawns abundant. 



Ania emarginata was extraordinarily abundant in one patch 

 of marsh near Kemmel, and at the same time absent from a 

 similar patch a few hundred yards away. 



Ephyra linearia was common at Avesnes le Comte. 



Eucosmia nndnlata was common at Locre. 



Cidaria pyr<diata occurred abundantly on Mont Kemmel, and 

 C.fulvata less commonly at Locre. 



1 am told that Coremia designata is becoming scarcer in 

 Britain, but in the Fruges area it was tbe commonest Geometer 

 in June. 



I took Mesoleuca alhicillata and .1/. hicolorata at Kemmel. 



riydriomeiia impluviata was taken near Fruges, but did not 

 appear common. 



Ettpithecia castigata, also from Fruges, is the only addition I 

 liave to make to this genus. 



Bapta temerata occurs in the same district. 



Ourapteryx samhucaria was common at Kemmel. 



I spent only one night at Heuchin, and, after a little dusking, 

 retired to bed with a book, a pipe, and a net within reach.
