various grasses, timothy, etc., grew in the meadows and some 

 spiraea and dewberry occurred along the ditches, while in the 

 gardens were numerous cultivated plants. 



Such butterflies as Pamphila peckius and P. ccrnes were 

 frequently found in the meadows on white clover and num- 

 bers of others were attracted to the spiraea and dewberry. 

 Many Alicrolepidoptera, especially Pyralid?e, were flushed up 

 from the grasses, Noiiiophila noctulla was common as usual. 

 In the garden at Yeoman's several specimens of Picris napi 

 and P. rapes were found. 



Sugar Lures: Sugar lures were put out every evening in 

 the mixed woodland near the Post Office. Among the Geome- 

 tridas. Aids sulphuraria, Eustroma cunigcrata, and Diastictis 

 inceptaria, and among the Noctuidse, Bpheuxis americalis, 

 Catacola unijuga and C. hriescis, Mamcstra imhrifera, M. 

 purpurissata, and M. lorea, Peridroma occulta^ Hadcna arctica, 

 H. dcvastatrix, H. verbascoidcs, Diplithera f alias, Scolioptcryx 

 libatri.v, Trlgoiiopliora pcrlculosa and Noctua haruspica and 

 also Pscudothyatira cymatophorides were frequently seen. 

 Most of the species captured were probably residents of the 

 open mixed woodland habitat. 



During the daytime the sugar on the trees attracted a few 

 Grapta butterflies. 



Light Ltire : At night a lantern was set up in an opening 

 near the Post Office. A few moths were attracted but the 

 results were rather disappointing. Several moths were at- 

 tracted to the lights in the windows of the Post Office. Among 

 these the Arctiidse, Buhaplie aurautiaca and Apantcsis zviUiain- 

 sil were common.
