Amongst the NOCTUINA, the pretty THYATIBA BATES (peach- 

 blossom) is common ; CELJENA HAWOETHII is tolerably plentiful; 

 HADENA ASSIMILIS has once or twice been taken on the face of 

 stone rocks; and PLTJSIA INTEBBOGATIONIS is rather common than 

 otherwise. 



Amongst the GEOMETBINA which have been noticed here, may be 

 mentioned M^SIA BELGIABIA, which flies in heathy places ; OPOEABIA 

 FILIGEAMENAEIA, LAEENTiA CjGSiATA, SALICAEIA, and the moun- 

 tain species of the pretty little genus EMMELESIA, viz. : T^NIATA, 

 EEICETATA, and BLANDIATA, and the pretty insect CASSIA IMBTJ- 

 TATA, of which the Scotch specimens are so much more delicately 

 marked than those from the neighbourhood of Manchester. 



Of the smaller species of Lepidoptera none of peculiar interest 

 have yet been noticed in Arran ; but it must be borne in mind that 

 this portion of its natural treasures has never been thoroughly 

 explored.
