224 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
and a few Cidaria fulvata, C. pyraliata, Emmelesia affinitata, 
Anaitis plagiata, and Caradrina cubicularis; while on all the 
walls in the neighbourhood the larva of Nudaria mundana was in 
abundance. On this same bank in the daytime I captured a nice 
series of Lycena salmacis, several A. plagiata, and two Photedes 
captiuncula. L. alsus, judging from the number of faded speci- 
mens, had been plentiful. By searching the rocks on broken 
ground where the foxglove abounded EH. pulchellata was to be 
found, and also Pseudoterpna cytisaria; and at dusk in the 
locality there were a few Hepialus velleda. I visited this place as 
early as seven o'clock in the morning on two occasions, and found 
Argynnis adippe on the wing. 
I then started off for a tour of the English lakes, being also 
desirous of obtaining Erebia epiphron from one of the many 
localities in which it exists and through which I should pass. 
However, at Red Screes Mountain, one of its head-quarters, 
nothing but rolling clouds and pelting rain was forthcoming, and 
during my ascent of Helvellyn the weather was not much more 
favourable. At the foot of Griesdale 'T'arn T'anagra cherophyllata 
was in great plenty flying among the long bracken, and indeed on 
most of the mountains I found this insect abundant and in good 
condition. Here I was pleased to take a species of the Geometre 
new to me, viz. Coremia munitata, and I searched about for some 
time without meeting with another specimen. However, about 
two days later, while nearing the summit of Skiddaw, some 3000 
feet above sea-level, I again saw several, but having no net I only 
succeeded in boxing two or three. The weather was very stormy 
and unsettled, but Iam convinced that anyone having a companion 
with him might do very well on the mountains; but it would be 
wretched work alone. I searched thoroughly for H. epiphron in 
the neighbourhood of Langdale Pikes, but with no success. I 
believe one must know the exact spot for it, as the mountain 
chain is very extensive at that part. 
I then returned to Witherslack for three days, having pre- 
viously searched some hours in vain after H. teniata, but again 
the weather did not allow me to obtain it. On the Moss at 
Witherslack I found that during my week’s absence A. fwmata, 
A. strigillaria and others were quite over; but Carsia imbutata 
was fresh from the chrysalis, and I obtained a beautiful series of 
this pretty insect. By beating the birch-trees I obtained two
