present engaged on the Atlas, Morocco, recording many 
forms and species of Lepidoptera not met with by Mr. G. 
Meade- Waldo. 
Mr. J. Harttey Durrant exhibited a series of Blastobasis 
lignea Wlsm., including the variety adustella Wlsm., taken 
by Mr. Albert E. Wright at Grange-over-Sands, 1918-1920. 
A few specimens were taken in August 1918, twelve more 
Aug. 10, 1919, and two on July 23, 1920. They were beaten 
out of the foliage of Cotoneaster microphylla Wallich—the 
larva probably feeds on accumulations of rubbish on this 
plant or on yew, which also occurred in the same place. 
Blastobasis lignella was described by Lord Walsingham 
(P.Z.8. Lond., 1894, 550-1) from specimens collected in 
Madeira by Wollaston, fifty or sixty years ago, and Mr. Durrant 
was not aware that the species had been met with again until 
its capture in this country by Mr. Wright. 
This is an exceptionally interesting addition, as it intro- 
duces also the family Blastobasidae to the British List.
