for he could not determine which species was represented by the 
ragged specimen which he had seen in 1870. 
Of the Sphingide, excluding Anthrocera, he had only met with ten 
species, the great deficiency being in the genus Sesia of which he had 
but one, cynipiformis. Smerinthus tile had not occurred, but the 
other two, S. dopulé and ocellatus and Sphinx ligustri were met with, 
the two latter commonly, as also Macroglossa stellatarum in most 
years. S. convolvuli appeared not uncommonly in 1868 and 1869, and 
the larva of Acherontia Atropos was met with occasionally—in two 
instances he had had the olive-coloured variety of the larva brought to 
him. To these might be added Cherocampa Elpenor and C. porcellus, 
of which species he had taken single specimens. The Bombyces and 
their allies were somewhat better represented, mustering 39 species. 
The rarer species were Zimacodes testudo, Nola strigula, Lithosia 
aureola, complana, and guadra, while the beautiful Arctia villica was 
abundant. 
The Geometrz were found here in great force, as he had met with 
142 species, and had probably omitted to recognize some of the 
Eupithecie. The rarer species were Selenia lunaria, Eurymene dolo- 
bravia, Pericallia syringaria, Ennomos erosaria and fuscantaria, 
Boarmia consortaria, Tephrosia consonaria, and extersaria, Phoro- 
desma bagularia, Ephyra orbicularia, Eupisteria heparata, Acidalia 
rubricata, Macaria notata and alternata, Emmelesia unifesciata, 
Eupithecia irriguata, expallidata, dodoneata, and fraxinata, Lobo- 
phora sexalata, Camptogramma fluviata and Cidaria picata and sila- 
ceata, He had left to the last what was probably the rarest of all—a 
damaged specimen of Acidalia strigaria. The pretty genus Ephyra 
was represented by all its species, as was also Hysernia, and several 
smaller genera. 
: Of the Drepanulce there were four species ; only wzguéeula being 
_ absent of those which might be expected to occur. The Pseudo Bom- 
__ byces numbered eleven species—the more uncommon were Dicranura 
Surcula and bifida, Clostera curtula and Notodonta dodonea. Several 
_ of this division were taken at light; in fact, Motodonta Camelina 
and Ptilodontis palpina came pretty freely. 
The Noctuz were also very fairly represented, amounting to 139 
species. Of the rarer species he might notice Cymatophora fluctuosa 
and ridens, Diphthera Orion, Acronycta auricoma and letorina, Neuria 
_Saponaria, Apamea fibrosa, Agrotis saucia, Tentocampa mintosa 
_Hoporina croceago, Tethea subtusa and retusa, Aplecta tincta, Hadena
