and June in rabbit, hare and cat skins (" Lep. Calendar," Ed. 2, 

 pp. 55, 133, etc.). 



1879. — Hai'tmann mentions the species as occurring in England 

 on wool, probably introduced with commerce (" Miinch. Ent. 

 Ver.," iii., p. 199). 



1882. — Porritt states that towards the end of October he found a 

 lot of old sheep's wool, which had been in a Huddersfield warehouse 

 foe some months, swarming with Tine^, and among them were 

 several T. paUfsrevteUa (" Yorks. Nat.," Vol. viii. p. 94). 



1884. — South includes T. palleu-entella in his list of British 

 Lepidoptera, but ignores T. niiirifolddla (" Ent. Synon. List of 

 Brit. Lep."). 



1889.— Rebel, in a contribution to the Microlepidoptera Fauna 

 of Austria-Hungary, records that at the beginning of October in 

 1883 and 1884 he was so fortunate as to take three specimens in 

 all — one male and two females — of T. pallesrentella, a species 

 " which has not been under observation yet on the continent." He 

 says, " The specimens came in the evening flying against the lamp ; 

 sorry I could not discover the larvfc, though diligently searching for 

 theni, but I suspect that they have lived inside a preserved heath- 

 cock which was in my room." This, he considers, agrees with 

 Merrin's and Eales' observations, and that " Stainton's information 

 — ' larva on grain ' — is very surprising." He also mentions a 

 specimen being received from Stettin, and gives quite a recognisable 

 figure of the species. He further says, " Ragonet, who saw the 

 female specimen (from which the sketch was taken), defined it as 

 T. pallc.wntdUi, Stt., but wrote that the name nifirifohlclla, Gregson, 

 may perhaps claim priority" (" Verhandlungen Zool.-Bot. Gesel. 

 in Wien.," Vol. xxxix., p. 303, PI. VIIL, fig. 7). 



R. C. R. Jordan records that " Every year, in some manufactory 

 here {i.e., Edgbaston, near Birmingham), or large warm building, I 

 take two or three specimens of this insect" {i.e., T. pallcsccntclla), 

 and adds " The only time that I ever saw it plentiful was in a hair- 

 dresser's room, and perhaps this may give a clue to its food." He 

 gives October and November as the time of its appearance (" Ent. 

 Mo. Mag.," Vol. XXV., p. 213). 



1895. — Meyrick gives its distribution as England to Durham, 

 East Ireland, its time of appearance as July, August and October 

 and of the larva as May, June, and October, on grain and drv refuse. 

 (" Handbook of Brit. Lep.," p. 791.") 



1900. — Kane, in a Catalogue of the "Lepidoptera of Ireland," 

 gives Dublin and l^elfast as localities (" Entom.," Vol. xxxiii., 

 p. 127). 



1901. — Staudinger and Rebel give England; Vienna; and 

 possibly Germany, as the range of its distribution, and ignore T. 

 ni<irif„ldella (" Stand. Cat.," ed. 1901, p. 238, no. 4588). 



190G. — Sich exhibited specimens from Chiswick, where he said 

 it frequently occurs; also from the Strand, London; and gave
