478 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



T. consonaria aud extersaiia. Not common ; on tree 

 trunks. 



G. papilionaria. Two females off alder, and missed a fine 

 male. 



N. viridata. This species was worn and faded. 



P. bajularia. Flying at dusk in the wood-ridings. 



H. auroraria. Not common. 



Acidalia subsericeata, slraminata, and imitaria. Boggy 

 heaths. 



A. immutata. Woods. 



A. emutaria. I am not surprised that this species is a 

 desideratum in so many cabinets. Walking and running up to 

 one's knees in bog, and at times getting a plunger not a little 

 deeper, is not the most pleasant collecting; but to get it at 

 all oiiO must do this for two hours of an evening, and then 

 often fail to get even a specimen. I bred ten Emutaria from 

 eggs collected last year; curiously enough I took the female 

 the last day of Brockenhurst trip last year, and the larvae 

 lived through the winter, and went to pupa the last week in 

 May and first in June : the first of the moths appeared on the 

 21st of June, and they continued to do so until the 30th, when 

 I was at Brockenhurst again ; so they pretty nearly took the 

 twelve months to complete their transformation. 



M. alternata. This species 1 did not take personally, 

 although I saw four during my stay ; two of them alive, and 

 two had been set. 



M. liturata. Fairly common if worked for. 



S. pluraaria. Less common than last year. 



M. euphorbiata. Flying by day in woods. 



P. hippocastanaria. Common on heaths. 



E. pumilata. Beaten out of furze, &c. 



L. sexalata. By beating hedges ; not commonly. 



M. albicillata. In woods; not rare. 



M. unangulata. Beating hedges. 



G. obscurata. Very dark form, and in fine condition. 



E. lineolata. Series, in fine order, at Freshwater. 



T. chaerophyllata. Common ; and many species of general 

 distribution. 



Cuspidates. 



I only set one species, viz. Stauropus Fagi, very fine; this 

 I did not catch.
