Among the pyrales only Boty^ pandalin was reported, and of the 

 tortrices, Tortrix minhtrana occurred. Mr. Stallman reports that 

 he took larvfe of hJit/njs (pteiriis, and that from a female of Enormia 

 cousniiaria he obtained ova, and has a large brood of larvae. Most 

 of the characteristic chalk plants were abundant, most conspicuous, 

 perhaps, being the great mullein [Veibascuni t/iapsiis), by reason 

 not only of its enormous numbers, but of the great size and vigour 

 of the individuals, which promised a wonderful display of flowers 

 a little later. On the way back to tea, several members were shown 

 the habitat of the bearsfoot {Helleborus viridis), where thousands of 

 fine plants filled a copse and overflowed around it.
