TORTRICES AND TINEINA. Q45 
petiverana in the roots, all of which in due season produced fine 
imagines. I also found a few larvee of C. therinella, but failed to 
rear them, being, I think, one of the most difficult species to 
breed. During a visit to the same locality in May I procured 
fine imagines of Stigmonota composana among clover, and D. 
sequana, D. plumbagana, and D. saturnana were common on the 
railway banks; and on a fine plant of Coniwm maculatum I 
found larve of D. alstremeriella, which produced a fine series in 
July. I also obtained, during the winter, larvee of Hphippiphora 
faeneana and D. simpliciana in the roots of Artemisia vulgaris 
from the lanes about Sutton, and larve of C. murinipennella on 
seeds of Luzula pilosa at West Heath, Hampstead. In Headly 
Lane I obtained larve of G. bifractella in heads of Inula conyza, 
and bred a fine series of G. subocellella. by collecting the seed- 
heads of wild marjoram in November, and keeping them exposed 
to the weather during the winter; also the larve of Gracilaria 
auroguttella in cones on Hypericum, G. semifasciella on maple ; 
and larve of Pedisca bilunana in birch catkins were common in 
their season at the same place. 
During a short visit to Dover in April I found larve of 
Psychoides verhueilella under the fronds of ferns in the lanes near 
Alkham ; and at St. Margaret’s Bay the larve of Stigmonota 
leplastriana in stems of wild cabbage, Pterophorus microdactylus 
in old dried stems of Marrubium, and Douglasia ocnerostomella 
were plentiful in dried stems of Hchiwm. 
On the Castle Hill at Scarborough, in June, I found the 
larva of G. tringipennella in abundance in leaves of Plantago 
lanceolata, and observed the larva of C. alcyonipennella swarming 
on every plant of Centaurea nigra, besides many commoner 
species. 
At Wanstead I found the larve of C. hemerobiella on white- 
thorn, C. gryphypennella on rose, C. genistecolella and G. alli- 
palpella on Genista anglica, and G. mouffetella in shoots of honey- 
suckle ; also imagines of S. emortuella, Ypsolophus alpella, Laverna 
stephensiella, G. lwculella, and many others on oak trunks. 
At Sevenoaks (in a field adjoming Bat and Ball Station) I 
found the larva of Cosmopteryx drurella in leaves of wild hop, 
wherever it was growing, and near the chalk-pit at Kemsing the 
larva of the very beautiful Hypercallia christiernella, in the shoots 
of Polygala vulgaris, occurred, but rather sparingly.
