102 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Several Tzeniocampa cruda fell on to my sheet in the 
clutches of a pallid-hued spider; and on a log of wood lying 
on the ground J saw a centipede busily occupied sucking the 
juices of another, which it had doubtless captured while it 
was in a state of unconsciousness. 
I reached the ship again at eleven o’clock, well pleased 
with my evening’s captures; and by that time the fog had 
cleared away and the stars shone out brightly. 
The next evening (the 27th) it was bright and mild, but 
with a strong breeze from the north-west; but as I intended 
to leave Dartmouth the following day, and should be away 
for a week or ten days, I thought J had better pay another 
visit to the sallows, as they would probably be passé by the 
time I returned. I found Teniocampa cruda just as abundant 
as on the previous evening, and T. miniosa had considerably 
increased in numbers; but they were nearly all males, for 
out of twenty-eight I boxed, only two belonged to the opposite 
sex. Ihave noticed this is generally the case with Tznio- 
campe. Hoporina croceago and Teniocampa munda put in 
an appearance again; but my grandest capture for the 
evening was a fine Dasycampa rubiginea. 
The result of the two evenings was as follows :— 
Dasycampa rubiginea.—One female. 
Hoporina croceago.—Kight females and one male. 
Teniocampa miniosa.—Twenty-eight males and two 
females. Could have taken many more of this species had I 
wished. 
ZT. munda.—Three males; evidently only just coming out. 
Xylina rhizolithaa—Two females. 
Teniocampa rubricosa, T. gothica, T. stabilis,and Cerastis 
Vaccinit.—Common. 
Xylocampa lithoriza.—Several very dark varieties. 
Eupithecia abbreviata, E.exiguata, E.pumilata, Hybernia 
progemmaria, Tortricodes hyemana, and Diurnea fagella.— 
Several. 
Teniocampa cruda.—lIn prodigious numbers, and I selected 
several varieties. 
Of the above Hoporina croceago, Xylina rhizolitha, Tznio- 
campa rubricosa, T. gothica, and Xylocampa lithoriza, have 
been good enough to supply me with eggs; and I hope on 
my return to H.M.S. “ Britannia,” at Dartmouth, | shall find
