200 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
nanana, Hupeecilia nana, Choreutes scintilulana (among Scutel- 
larva galericulata) ; Phleodes tmmundana (getting worn), Nemo- 
phora metaxella, and Bucculatrix cidariella (among alders) ; 
Elachista cerussella, Gelechia rufescentella, Swammerdamia 
cesiella, Scardia arcella, and Bucculatria crategifoliella. In all, 
130 species observed. 
Early in June Bombyx rubi was out in numbers on our 
heaths, its wild flight and size making it a very conspicuous object. 
In similar places Heliodes arbuti, Heliothis dipsacea (one specimen 
only), Agrotis porphyrea, Pempelia palumbella, Phycis carbonariella, 
and Platytes cerussellus were taken; the latter, although local, 
has absolutely appeared in hundreds in some grassy spots on the 
heaths. Also during the month, Acidalia subsericeata, Emmelesia 
decolorata, E. alchemillata, Melanippe unangulata, and Ephyra 
pendularia were to be found at dusk; whilst out of the host of 
commoner Noctue attracted by sugar might be boxed a few 
Dipterygia pinastri, Hadena suasa, Leucania pudorina, L. comma, 
Erastria fuscula, Acronycta leporina, A. aceris, Axylia putris, 
Aplecta advena, Caradrina: morpheus, C. alsines, Agrotis corticea, 
and A. porphyrea. ‘The commonest insect at sugar during June 
was undoubtedly Agrotis exclamationis ; but Rusina tenebrosa and 
Miana fasciuncula were nearly as plentiful. In and about the 
warehouses of the King’s Lynn Dock Company, Plodia iter- 
punctella was more abundant than I have ever before known it. 
Of the Micros not yet enumerated I note Retinia piniworana, 
Gelechia dodecella, and Cedestis farinatella, among Scotch fir; 
Orthotenia ericetana, Grapholita campopoliliana, and Gicophora 
trisignella ; Elachista subochreella and Tinagma_ resplendella 
among alders; Bucculatrix boyerella among elm; Pedisca bilu- 
nana, Penthina picana, and a single specimen of Phle@odes 
demarniana, among birch trees; Opostega saliciella, G. ligu- 
lella, G. tenebrella, C. affinis, C. diffinis, Coleophora fabriciella, 
Micropteryx seppella, and Adela fibulella, were obtained by sweep- 
ing mixed herbage of meadows and corners of heaths. 
Early in July I note as follows:—Lycena egon, just coming 
out; Hbulea verbascalis and a nice series of Oxyptilus teucria 
among T'eucriwm scorodona. Although this (the food-plant) 
grows nearly everywhere in patches on our heaths, this plume 
would appear to be excessively local, being confined to a few 
yards. Crambus uliginosellus C. mquinatellus, Schrankia turfo-
