* The list of the Lepidoptera is p.irtly Capt. Vip,in's, but several species have been added by the writer 

 and by Mr. Bouskell, Mr. T. H. Briggs, Mr. G. C. Druce, Mr. Eustace VVallis, Mr. W. J. Kaye and others. 



* Formerly taken by Mr. F. Bond at Aldwinkle near Waddenham and by the Rev. Hamlet Clark 

 near Towcester. It has also been recorded from Barnwell by Mr. Eustace VVallis, and from Barnwell 

 and Polebrook by Messrs. Hull and Tomalin. I know of no recent captures. — H. G. 



^ This beautiful species was formerly abundant in Barnwell Wold, but disappeared suddenly about 

 thirty-nine or forty years ago. Mr. W. Edwards attributes its disappearance to the burning of the 

 locality and the destruction of the food-plant, but Mr. Bostock says it was extirpated by the dealers who 

 caught for sale every specimen they could find. Its disappearance was probably due partly to over col- 

 lecting, and partly to wet summers and the destruction of the food plant. — H. G.
