Stainforth found the former, but it is not new to this district, 
having been recorded many years ago from near Twigmoor, (seé 
L.N.U., Trans., 1907, p. 195). Calathus mollis, however, is, 1 
believe, very rarely found away from the coast sandhills, and its 
capture to-day by Dr. Corbett is of great interest. 
Mr. G. W. Mason reported for the Lepidoptera :—Considering 
the general dullness of the weather, the lepidopterists had a 
satisfactory day on the whole. The best find was a fine specimen 
of Agvotis precox, which was taken by Mr. C. P. Arnold, at rest 
on the sand. This species is usually taken on the coast, and it is 
interesting to find it established so far inland. It was taken by 
Dr. Corbett in the same locality in 1901. Some examples of the 
curious Ithacodia caudana were beaten out of sallow bushes. The
