272 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
coveted Anerastia farrella; these were larger than those of 
previous years, but rather worn. On an adjoining salt-marsh I 
found Hupecilia vectisana in plenty, flying (as many of the 
EKupecilie do) most freely in the afternoon; but was rather 
disappointed in my fruitless search for larve of Agdistes bennetii 
on the sea-lavender (Statice limoniuwm), which grew there in 
plenty. Amongst other species met with on the coast I note 
Leucania littoralis, Macroglossa stellatarum (of frequent occur- 
rence), Crambus warringtonellus, C. inquinatellus, abundant and 
variable, and some nice varieties of the common C. hortuellus ; 
Semasia janthinana, Chrosis tesserana, Coleophora therinella, and 
a few Gelechia pictella, G. instabilella, G. teniolella, G. atriplicella, 
and G. distinctella, with swarms of commoner Gelechi@, such as 
G. marmorella and G. desertella; the two latter species when 
disturbed fell out in numbers on the sands. Satyrus semele was 
just emerging, several worn specimens of Vanessa cardui were 
seen, and Plusia gamma still kept up its reputation for ubiquity. 
To return to inland collecting, I observe that Lycena egon 
was comparatively scarce on our heaths; whilst the larve, 
cocoons, and imagines of Zygena trifolii were unusually abundant. 
Towards the end of July and beginning of August Hupisteria 
heparata was again out in fine condition, and tolerably common, 
among alders. Surely this species must be double-brooded! 
Coremia quadrifasciata I quite failed to get in good condition, 
although worn specimens occurred from time to time; some of 
these placed in boxes very kindly deposited eggs. Acidalia 
meanaria was common, A. scutulata and A. bisetata were 
frequent, and A. inornata and also A. emarginata occurred 
sparingly. Lithosia griseola flew in plenty at dusk; but only a 
few of the more highly-prized ZL. stramineola; L. mesomella, 
with some interesting varieties, was also met with. Of the 
Pterophorina only Pterophorus bertrami and P. acanthodactylus 
are worth mentioning. Among others the following were taken 
or observed :—Xylophasia scolopacina, disturbed by day in woods; 
Nonagria despecta, Leucania phragmitidis, and Hepialus sylvinus, 
the latter common, and remarkably fine both in size and colour; 
Orthosia suspecta, Noctua umbrosa, Thyatira batis, Hydrecia 
nictitans, Agrotis nigricans, and A. tritici, at sugar; EHpione 
apiciaria, Platypteryax falcula, Hupithecia coronata, and Rhodophea 
consociella, flying at dusk; while Crambus latistriellus and C. ha-
