A SHORT VISIT TO DOVER. Oot 
absynthiata, and E. isogrammata from clematis, from which was 
also obtained Melanippe procellata and Phibalapteryx tersata. 
M. galiata and M. rwata were common. Specimens of Hubolia 
mensuraria, Hi. bupunctaria, and EH. lineolata turned up, the latter 
in abundance. 
Of the Noctuse, most of which were observed throughout the 
night feasting on the flowers of Hchiwm vulgare, &c., there were 
Leucania conigera, L. lithargyria, L. comma, &c., Xylophasia 
sublustris, Mamestra anceps, M. furva, Miana literosa, M. furuncula, 
Caradrina morpheus, C. blanda, C. cubicularis, Agrotis aquilina, 
&e.; Triphena interjecta, Hremobia ochroleuca, Hadena chenopodit, 
Heliothis marginata (very difficult to get in good condition), and 
Plusia gamma, rushing wildly about both morning, noon, and 
night. Of Helwothis peltigera I took two specimens flying round 
Reseda lutea, and a single worn representative of Acontia luctuosa. 
Huchidia mi, EL. glyphica, and Phytometra enea were met with. 
Among the Pyralides I took a few each of Pyralis glaucinalis, 
Pyrausta punicealis, P. ostrinalis, Herbula cespitalis, and Ennychia 
anguinalis, besides single specimens of Cledeobia angustalis, 
Spilodes palealis, S. cinctalis, and Stenia punctalis (from Iris 
fetidissima). ‘The other Pyrales were Cataclysta lemnalis, Hydro- 
campa nymphealis (very common); and Botys fuscalis, Ebulea 
crocealis, E. sambucalis, and Pionea forficalis from the wild 
cabbage ; and Scoparia cembralis was common amongst Clematis 
vitalba. 
I took the following Crambites :—Platytes cerussellus, Crambus 
perlellus, Homeosoma sinuella, Phycis adornatella, P. subornatella, 
P. ornatella, and a couple of Oncocera ahenella. 
The Tortrices came well to the front, being represented by 
Tortrix costana, T’. icterana, Penthina ochroleucana, P. sellana, 
Sericoris cespitana, Peronea rufana, Orthotenia striana, Hriopsela 
fractifasciana, Sciaphila perterana (very abundant and variable, 
especially the females), Sphaleroptera ictericana, Grapholitha 
nigromaculana, Hypermecia cruciana, Ephippiphora brunnichiana, 
E. trigeminana (common), a few Hndopisa nigricana in a pea-field, 
besides which was Stigmonota leplastriana flying in the sunshine 
amongst the cabbage in considerable numbers, but difficult to 
obtain owing to their rapid movements and the rough nature of 
the locality. Achillea millefolium produced Dicrorampha petiverana 
in plenty, and the Ononis was in some places teeming with
