Moths Captured by Light-trap. — In August, September and 

 November, 1914, Mr. Prideaux, on my behalf, published in the ' Ento- 

 mologist ' a description of a moth trap and the results obtained with 

 it during that year. The house I then occupied was situated on the 

 chalk hills to the north of the Brasted Valley, with a considerable 

 view from the windows. This year (1919) I have again made use of the 

 trap from my present house, on the outskirts of Sevenoaks, from which 

 there is little or no view. Although the results have been nothing 

 like as good as far as the number of moths that entered the trap 

 are concerned, the number of species taken has not been far short of 

 those taken in 1914, and it may possibly interest your readers to 

 have the list of the spscies taken. May (trap run on 4 nights from 

 10 to 3) : A. viendica, C. unidentaria, L. marginata, H. jacobcece,
