128 JULY. 



Often have I sat upon the summit of " Dun Hill/ 7 

 and enjoyed the glorious prospect, the cool bracing sea 

 breeze, as it played gently over the hill, tempering the 

 sultry atmosphere of a July day. 



But let us return to our starting-points Sutton 

 strand, and the Hilly Field of Ireland. Here among 

 the wild chamomile (Matricaria Chamomillce) Ho- 

 mceosoma nimbella occurs, while among the bird's 

 foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatys) we shall find Coleo- 

 phora discordella; and among the knapweed (Cen- 

 taurea nigrd) Coleophora alcyonipennella may be 

 found. 



Among the broom on the edge of the slopes we 

 shall find Depressaria costosa and assimiletta, toge- 

 ther with Cemiostoma spartifoliella ; while, among 

 the Centaurea, Depressaria liturella occurs. 



In the Howth road, and in the lane leading from 

 the Baldoyle and Sutton Station, on the turf walls 

 among the broad leaved mouse-ear chickweed (Ceras- 

 tium vulgatum) we may find Gelechia fraternella, 

 while Depressaria applana occurs among the Umbel- 

 lifer CB ( Cheer ophyllwni), &c. 



In the Hilly Field we shall find Tortrix Icterana 

 (males) and Lozopera dilucidana, together with the 

 larvae of Gracilaria tringipennella, mining in leaves 

 of ribbed plantain (Plantago lanceolata) ; while the 

 conspicuous black larvae, with white spots, of Tortrix 

 Icterana (producing females only), may be found on 

 the same plant rolling up the leaves tubularly. 



Among the sea plantain (Plantago maritima) the 

 variable Gelechia instabilella occurs, while Nepticula 

 Aurella occurs among brambles; and the pupae of
