REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION, 



1891-92. 



Chairman: The Rev. C. F. Thornewill, M.A. 



I am sorry that my last Report, as Secretary of the Entomological 

 Section, must of necessity be very brief: but my time has been so 

 thoroughly taken up by various matters connected with my removal 

 from Burton, that my collecting during the past season has been 

 practically nil. One interesting fact, however, has been communi- 

 cated to me by my friend, the Rev. E. H. Todd, of Stretton-en-le- 

 Field, viz., the occurrence in the district of that erratic Butterfly, 

 colias cdusa, the 'clouded yellow.' This insect, which during the 

 present year has been unusually abundant in various parts of the 

 country, occurred at Noman's Heath, on the borders of Staffordshire, 

 Warwickshire, and Leicestershire, during September last, and was 

 captured by the Rev. T. Jefferson, Vicar of that Parish. It is i6 

 years since this insect was last observed in our district. 



I must congratulate the Society on the appearance of a second 

 volume of 'Transactions,' including a list of the Micro Lepidoptera of 

 the Burton district. For this we are largely indebted to the exertions 

 of the late Mr. J. T. Harris, whose loss to the Society, and more 

 particularly to the Entomological and Botanical Sections, is a most 

 serious one. 



CHAS. F. THORNEWILL.
