62, THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
allionia and T. ultimaria. The handsome Ortholitha meniata 
was very common in the woods and at light; and ascending the 
wooded path to the Col de Bretagne Minoa murinata, in spite of 
its small size, was a prominent feature. The Noctue and the 
Tephroclystie were all taken at light, the other families nearly 
all netted in the daytime, the chief exceptions being Acidalia 
virgularia var. australis, A. submutata, Ephyra pupillaria, 
Boarmia solieraria (one male), Trephonia sepiaria (two), Hylo- 
phila bicolorana, Eromene bella, which were attracted by light. 
Besides Mr. Prout, I am also under obligations to Dr. 
Chapman for naming certain specimens and to Mr. Bethune- 
Baker for help with the Zygenids. It is impossible to foresee 
what system of nomenclature this paper may represent after it 
has passed the Editor’s hands; but in making my list I have 
followed the Staudinger-Rebelschen Catalog. 1901. As Mons. 
Culot says in his preface to vol. ii. of ‘ Noctuelles d’Europe’: 
‘‘Le catalogue que j’ai pris pour guide, parce qu’il est le plus 
répandu.” I hesitate to add with him: ‘ Et non parce quwil 
représente une classification rationnelle.’’ Such criticism is for 
the ever-conflicting experts. 
We spent two or three days at Bondol on the sea coast, 
hunting Zygena erythus, While there I took a few rather good 
moths at light, and as Bondol is not far distant from La Ste. 
Baume, I have added these captures as a separate note.
