(Carpinus Betulus\ we shall find Lithocolletis tenella 

 mining the underside of the leaves; the only other 

 locality I know for this species is Epping Forest, 

 while on a single sloe bush, among the underwood, 

 near the brook, we shall find the larvae of Nep. Prune- 

 torum; this extremely local insect has only occurred 

 hitherto at the locality in which it was discovered by 

 Mr. Boyd, at Loudwater, Bucks. Among the sallows 

 we shall find the larvae of Nepticula Sa/icis in pro- 

 fusion, while on hornbeam the larvae of Nep. micro- 

 theriella and floslactella occur ; and feeding upon the 

 same tree, and also upon oak, the beautiful green 

 shagreened larvae of Halias prasinana may be found ; 

 in sloe leaves the larva of Lithocolletis spinicolella 

 occurs, while on sallow we may find the larvae of 

 Lithocolletis salicicolella, often sharing the same leaf 

 with the larvae of N. Salicis, together with the larvae 

 of Peronea JEfastiana ; while in the leaves of the 

 honeysuckle the larvae of Lithocolletis trifasciella may 

 be found in plenty ; and, mining in the leaves of nut 

 bushes, and in turned-down corners of the same, we 

 shall find the larvae of Ornix Avellanella, while iri 

 oak leaves, in blotches, the larvae of Tischeria compla- 

 nella occurs, and that of T. margined in blotches, in 

 bramble leaves. 



At sugar, we may take here Orthosia lota, macilenta 

 and neglecta; together with Anthocelis litura and 

 pistacina y Noctua plecta and Phlogophora meticulosa, 

 Glcea vaccinii and Spadicea. Among whitethorn we 

 shall find Orgyia antiqua, together with its apterous 

 female, on the trunks, while at rest on the trunks of 

 the trees, or on the earth, we may occasionally find the
