 In conclusion, I may say that entomology deserves to be taken up more 

 than it is by people who are fond of country pursuits, as it affords more constant 

 amusement than any other branch of natural history. It is always at hand ; 

 moths may be taken all hours of the twenty-four, in every month of the year, and 

 from the middle of our largest towns to the tops of the highest mountains. The 

 facts which I have laid before the meeting, I think, show two things : First, — 

 Considering how few entomologists there are in the county, the results are very 

 satisfactory, and prove that the county is most rich in Lepidoptera. Secondly, — 

 That the great rarities are, as a rule, taken by young beginners or in some irregular 

 way ; both of which facts should be an encouragement to anyone fond of natural 

 history to take up this most interesting branch. I can assure anyone doing so 

 that he will find it a constant amusement, which will last him his lifetime. 



Note. — Since the foregoing paper was written many new species have been added to and 

 included in the following list of Lepidoptera found in the county, which is complete up to date of 

 publication, 1S92.
