The HeptVoptera of Burton-on-Trent 
and Meiqhdourhood. 
mY HE following list of the Macro-lepidopterous fauna of 
the Burton-on-Trent district is founded on a list com- 
piled by the Entomological Section of this Society, 
and published in the “ Entomologist ” during 1885. 
The members have had the advantage of using two old lists— 
one by that renowned entomologist, Mr. Edwin Brown, and 
contained in Sir O. Mosley's “‘ History of Tutbury”; the other 
by Mr. W. Garneys, and embodied in his work, ‘‘ The Fauna and 
Flora of Repton.” To these are added the observations of about 
a dozen living collectors, each contribution being distinguished 
by the initials of its finder’s name. The district covered is rather 
a wide one, extending from fifteen to twenty miles round Burton 
in every direction, and has not been worked, so far as we are 
aware, by any other Society. It includes two famous localities— 
Cannock Chase, the original British habitat of Zastocampa tlict- 
folia, and Chartley Park, the southernmost limit of Cexonympha 
typhon; the river Trent passing through the centre. The 
‘‘ Entomologist ” List has been followed throughout. 
The observers, whose initials appear in our local list, are as 
follows :—E. Brown, W. Garneys, J. T. Harris, G. Baker, P. B. — 
Mason, C. F. Thornewill, G. A. Smallwood, T. Gibbs, J. E. 
Nowers, G. H. Whitlock, W. M. Anderson, H. F. Gibson, C. G. 
Barratt, and E. Blagg. Mr. R. Freer, of Rugeley, has also 
furnished some valuable notes on the Cannock Chase district ; 
and one or two contributions have been received from Mr. Blatch, 
of Birmingham, and Mr. J. R. B. Masefield, of Cheadle.
