fauna of the Island. The most remarkable moth is possibly new 
to science, being a large Crymodes, some specimens of which are 
nearly as large as Petasia nubeculosa. It is evidently a most 
variable species, but will probably turn out to be an extreme 
form of Crymodes exulis. As it is intended to fully describe this 
collection in a future number of the ‘ Entomologist,’ this notice 
will suffice for the present.—Joun T. Carrineron; Sept., 1883. 
Notes rrom Surrey.—I was staying during the whole of May 
and June in the western part of Surrey, in the neighbourhood 
of Camberley. I collected for the most part by day, as insects 
were so scarce on the wing in the evening as to make it scarcely 
worth while to seek for them. JI found sugaring so entirely 
unproductive after several attempts, on what are considered 
favourable evenings, that I abandoned it. During daylight the 
prospect was not so bad, for Argynnis selene was to be seen in 
fair numbers, as was Satyrus megera and the other members 
of the latter family, due at that time. Among the Blues Lycena 
alexis was to be seen, and later on L. @gon. The usual members 
of the Pieride were visible, and Anthocharis cardamines was in 
more than usual numbers. Among the Sphingide I noticed 
Smerinthus tite, Cherocampa porcellus, and C. elpenor; and 
among the Zygenide, Zygena lonicere, Z. trifolii, and Z. fili- 
pendule. The usual members of the Hepialide were out, Hepi- 
alus lupulinus in larger numbers than usual. I also took Lithosia 
mesomella and Huthemonia russula, and Bombyx rubi was as 
plentiful as usual. I observed a considerable number of the 
common Geometre, the species most worthy of note being - 
Geometra papilionaria, Hemithea thymiaria, Ephyra pendularia, 
Hyria auroraria, and Hubolia palumbaria. I also noticed Platy- 
pteryx lacertula and P. faleuwla. On the walls I found, as usual, 
Bryophila perla. I also saw a considerable number of species 
belonging to the Noctue, but. none in any remarkable abundance. 
Most of the species taken by me were of the normal type, the 
only noteworthy variety being a hermaphrodite Iidonia atomaria 
with the wings of the female and with male antenne. I 
also noticed some more than usually strongly marked varieties 
of F'. atomaria and Thera variata, but my series of these two 
species went through almost every shade of colouring. The 
larva of Clostera reclusa was common-on some small aspens, but
