124 JULY. 



course to the end of the lane, and, turning to our right 

 again, we are in the straight road to the "Baillie 

 Tavern'' and the " Baillie Lighthouse ;" while on the 

 left of the road we see the " Hill of Howth" in all its 

 wild heathery beauty. But we will not at present 

 digress from the straight road to the " Baillie." If we 

 continue our route straight along the road for about a 

 mile, or a mile and a quarter, we shall then see on our

 Acetosa) as thick as grass, in the leaves of which, in 

 places where it is sheltered by brambles, or on the lee 

 side of the ridges and inequalities of the ground, the 

 larvae of Nepticula Acetosce may be found in abun-

 localities, the new Elachista flavicomella may be found 

 running up and down the stems of the grass, and 

 making short excursive flights, but never quitting the 

 shelter of the brambles ; and here Mr. Hogan's spe-
