Apatvra Iris was common in Hartley-wood and Riddles-wood; 

 between eighty and one hundred were seen performing their gracei'ul 

 and rapid evohitions about the tops of the oaks and aspens, gliding 

 among the fohage, and not returning to any particular tree, as Haworth 

 has stated to be its habit. From the frequency with which they 

 visited the aspens, and their greater inclination to settle on them, we 

 are inclined to think that the larvae feed on those trees as well as on 

 the broad-leaved sallows. There was not a wet spot to be found in 

 the woods, or we should have tried the method of capture mentioned 

 by Mr. Hewitson, (Entomol. 324) : only four were taken. 



Limenitis Camilla was not nearly so common as usual in these 

 woods, and judging from what was told us by residents on the spot, it 

 seems to be gradually disappearing. 



Carpocapsa , anew species allied to C. pupillana, but abun- 

 dantly distinct. Mr. Stephens, with his usual kindness, looked care- 

 fully through the works of Hiibner, Treitsche, and other German 

 authors, in none of which is it figured. Taken on the sea-wormwood 

 near St. Osyth, but very local. 



Larvae of Peridea serrata, Clisiocampa castrensis, Notodonta ziczac, 

 Apatela Leporina. 



July 24, 1842.

 Pyrausta sordidalis, Scotosia veiulata and Ypsolophus sequellus, 



July 10th, Riddlesdown, near Croydon. 



A pamea fibrosa y July 20, by raothing, and on the 4th of August at 



the sugar.
