100 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Islaud, Kerry. A few were attracted into the house by a 

 lamp last season, at St. Clerans, Galvray- 



M. O.vi/acanthcB. — This, with P. Meticulosa and E. Luci- 

 para, I have found common everywhere. 



H. Dentina. — Very common in Kerry. 



H. Pisi. — Very common in Kerry. 



H. Oleracea. — Less common than the foregoing. 



A. MyrlilU. — On most Galway heaths. Took it in profu- 

 sion at Clonbrock, near Ballinasloe. 



H. Unca. — Common on one piece of boggy ground, near 

 St. Clerans, Galway, last season. Took it three years ago in 

 immense numbers, near the Killeries, Connemara. 



P. Festucce. — Not uncommon on vSilene maritima, on the 

 very edge of the sea, Kerry. Very abundant ; Connemara, in 

 similar localities. 



P. Interrogationis. — This is, I think, the first record of an 

 Irish capture of this insect. I noticed it last season on the 

 4th of July, flying in some numbers over heather, in a wood 

 skirting a large bog, at Clonbrock, near Ballinasloe, Galway; 

 but having no entomological apparatus with me at the time, 

 1 was only able to secure a single specimen. Its mode of 

 flight seemed much like that of the common Gamma. The 

 specimen I took has the silver mark considerably larger, and 

 altogether varies a good deal from the typical English form 

 of Interrogationis. 



E. JSli. — This, with ^nea, I have taken on all the Kerry 

 and Galway bogs. Glyphica seems rarer. 



I think I have now enumerated all the Lepidoptera I met 

 with of any interest. Had circumstances enabled me to do 

 more in the way of night-mothing and larvse-rearing, and had 

 my time been less limited, I have no doubt the list could have 

 been largely increased.

Hyhernaiing JMoiJis and Biitlerjiies. — I send the following 

 extract from my journal of twenty years ago. I then lived in 

 a rambling old house in the country ; I dare say the exami- 

 nation of the roofs of any such would repay the young
