particular importance to food as a factor in the production 
of such aberrations. Mr. Grigg, of Bristol, was also kind 
enough to send me nineteen larve of Boarmia repandaria, 
part of a brood from a banded female. These were about half- 
grown when I received them, and had been fed so far on birch. 
I supplied them with plum, which they took to kindly, and 
attained a considerable size before entering the earth for pupation. 
Eventually ten very large imagines of the ordinary form and nine 
equally large of conversaria emerged. The sets of each form were 
very uniform in tone of coloration and character of marking, in 
both these respects contrasting strongly with imagines from the 
collected larve from North Devonshire.

FURTHER NOTES ON THE SEASON; WITH CAPTURES 
IN WEST NORFOLK. 
By Epwarp A. Armor. 
In the September number of this Journal some remarks 
of mine appeared bearing on the season, with an enumeration of 
my principal captures up to the beginning of July; and thinking 
that a short summary of my further captures from that time to 
the present might prove interesting, to at least some of your 
readers, I have again ventured to pen a few lines. 
Wet weather, as stated in my last contribution, set in at an 
early date in July, and much to my regret continued during the 
greater part of that all-important month for collecting; however, 
taking advantage of a few fine intervals, I found—certainly rather 
to my surprise—that not a few species were fairly represented, 
although they mostly showed unmistakable signs of the prolonged 
moisture to which they had been exposed; many of the Macro- 
lepidoptera were so worn that I found it a difficult matter to 
recognise the species to which they belonged. 
During my short visit of two days to the coast I encountered 
more wind than could be deemed desirable for such an exposed 
situation, and on the second day rain again fell in torrents 
during the afternoon and evening, so that I was unable to make 
the best of the two days at my disposal. The best capture 
I made there was undoubtedly four specimens of the much-
