The pretty Tceniocampa miniosa is not uncommon, and is accompanied in 

 its feasts on the Sallow Catkins by all the other species of the genus but the local 

 Opima and Leucographa. 



Ivy blossom, the last great enticement of the year, has yielded several of 

 the rarer autumnal insecs, and sugar adds Herbida to our lists. The only other 

 Noctua I believe to be new is Hccatera senna, of which only a single specimen

The following is a list of the specie3 met with during a year and a half's

 of quite average merit, and I hope deserving, like the rest of the county, of 

 more attention to its Lepidoptera than it has hitherto received : —
