98 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



H. Thymaria. — Same localities ; but rarer. 



A. Scutulata. — Very common. Garinish Island, Kerry. 



A. Remutaia. — Very common. Garinish Island, Kerry. 



S. Clathrata. — This, with F. Atomaria and E. Palumbaria, 

 flies on every bog and heath in Kerry and Galvvay. 



L. Adustata. — St. Clerans, Galvvay. Very common. Also 

 Garinish Island, Kerry; but less abundant. 



S. Marginata. — Common everywhere. 



L. Dldyinata. — This, with Pectinaria and Albulata, is 

 common everywhere I have collected in Kerry and Galway. 



E. Centaureata. — Very common on Garinish Island, 

 Kerry. June, 1870. 



E. Castigata. — Very common on Garinish Island, Kerry. 

 June, 1870. Also at St. Clerans and its neighbourhood, 

 Galway. 



E. Nanata. — Very common on Garinish Island, Kerry. 

 June, 1870. Also at St. Clerans and its neighbourhood, 

 Galway. 



E. Subnotata. — In immense profusion on Garinish Island, 

 Kerry. I captured other Eupitheciae, but am not quite sure 

 what species to refer them to. 



M. Alhicillata. — Occasionally. St. Clerans, Galway. I 

 took this and the following in boundless profusion on 

 Gariuish and neighbouring islands, Kerry ; but though I 

 searched assiduously for them and many others on the 

 mainland, which was at one part only separated by a narrow 

 sound, I never found any but the most abundant species 

 common to both ; indeed, the shores of the bay were singu- 

 larly barren in Lepidoptera of all sorts, so that it would appear 

 as if many species lingered on in the islands, where their 

 condition of life remained unchanged, after they had been 

 driven, by the destruction of the woods or the partial cultiva- 

 tion of the soil, from the neighbouring shores of the bay; 

 and I have no doubt that a thorough exploration of islands 

 off this coast — that have been still longer separated from auy 

 mainland, such as Scariff, Dinish, above all the Skelligs, 

 and many others — would result in the discovery of Lepidop- 

 tera new to Britain ; possibly, like the little group of plants 

 that still linger on these shores, of a South European type. 



AI. Hastata. — Rare. St. Clerans, Galway. Very common 

 indeed; early in July. Garinish Island, Kerry.
