  A 
  SHORT 
  paper 
  giving 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  moths 
  collected 
  by 
  

   Mons. 
  Avinoff 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Entomological 
  Society 
  in 
  

   1913. 
  It 
  was 
  intended 
  to 
  be 
  supplementary 
  to 
  a 
  paper 
  

   written 
  by 
  him 
  giving 
  a 
  full 
  itinerary 
  of 
  his 
  journey 
  and 
  

   an 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  butterflies 
  he 
  collected 
  ; 
  the 
  MSS. 
  of 
  

   this 
  paper 
  was, 
  however, 
  lost 
  in 
  the 
  post. 
  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  

   outbreak 
  of 
  war 
  he 
  has 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  supply 
  a 
  copy 
  of 
  

   the 
  missing 
  MSS. 
  It 
  is 
  therefore 
  desirable 
  to 
  publish 
  

   descriptions 
  of 
  the 
  few 
  new 
  moths 
  he 
  collected 
  of 
  which 
  

   the 
  descriptions 
  have 
  not 
  already 
  appeared. 
  The 
  types 
  

   are 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  and 
  the 
  numbers 
  before 
  the 
  

   species
