REPORT OF 
THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 
w= (GAIN we review the work of the Section for the 
past year, and we can record a distinct improve- 
ment, though we miss from the season’s list 
Vanessa Cardui so plentiful on all the hills the 
year before, nor did Lycaena Arion fall a prey to 
any member acquainted with the haunts where 
ret twenty years ago it occurred freely. . Among 
MEPS { Sphingide, Smerinthus tilie again proved its 
frequent occurrence on the College Ground, six specimens being 
taken on May 2tst, and many more during the season. 
The collections in their turn compare favourably with the 
productions of the previous year; E. A. Wilson again won the 
prize, the others who competed being H. J. Burkill, J. S. Parker, 
©. R. Bagnall, and W. N. Sagar-Musgrave. Wilson’s collection 
was by far the most numerous and varied, including Argynnis Aglaia, 
Vanessa C-album and Cossus ligniperda. Bagnall’s though deficient 
» numbers were all perfect and well set, his four Chzrocampa 
elpenor being the best set exhibited. 
Below is a list of the local notices, not in the order in which they 
were given in but in their natural sequence with the localities of a few 
rarer ones with their captors given. -The earliest moth, the Pale 
Brindied Beauty, was recorded on January 4th by E. A. Wilson. 
Other members who gained notices were J. S. Parker, H. J. Burkill, 
Ww. N. Sagar-Musgrave, G. F. de Pledge, W. L. Mellersh, A. Balmer, 
P. Theobald, G. Hibbert-Ware, W. R. Fisher, and V. B. Ferguson.
