COMPILED FROM THE NOTES OF EUSTACE R. BAXKES, 

 M.A., F.E.S., 



By NELSON M. RICHARDSON, B.A. 



I WING to the unfortunate illness of my 

 friend, Mr. Eustace Bankes, I have been 

 asked to edit the valuable notes made by 

 him on the additions to the Lepidoptera of 

 the Isle of Purbeck since the publication of 

 the 1st Supplement in Vol. X. of the Pro- 

 ceedings of the Dorset Field Club (1889), 

 the original list being contained in Vol. VI. 

 of the same Proceedings (1885). The notes from which the 

 present list is made carry on the records to the end of 1910, 

 the last entry being dated Nov. 27th, 1910. The bulk of the 

 captures were made by Mr. Bankes himself, and where he 

 has had to depend on those made by others, he has always 

 either identified the species himself or relied upon some 

 recognised authority for its correctness. Amongst the 

 insects in the present list are some of great or considerable 

 rarity, such as Vanessa antiopa, Sterrha sacraria, Notodonta
