INSECTS 



Many other interesting Kentish species might be referred to in 

 detail if space permitted. The following Hst of the moths of Kent has 

 been compiled partly from my own notes and partly from those kindly 

 suppHed to me by Mr. Albert B. Farn, Mr. Charles Fenn, Mr. Edward 

 Goodwin, Colonel Howard L. Irby, F.L.S., Dr. H. G. Knaggs, F.L.S., 

 Captain Savile G. Reid, R.E., F.Z.S., Mr. J. W. Tutt, Mr. Sydney Webb 

 and other residents in the county. I have also obtained assistance from 

 Stainton's Manual and from the lists by Dr. Knaggs and Mr. Ullyett of 

 the Lepidoptera of the Folkestone district.

' I am especially indebted to Mr. Charles Fenn

 the compilation of this list, and to Mr. C. G. 

 Barrett and Mr. Sydney Webb for icindly perusing 

 the same and making additions and suggestions. —

* The fact that certain localities are mentioned 

 does not imply that a species does not occur else- 

 where. A complete list of known localities would 

 occupy far more space than can be spared for In- 

 sects in a work like the present. — H. G. 



^ These two species are included by Mr. 

 Ullyett in his list of Folkestone Lepidoptera con- 

 tained in his Rambles of a Naturalist round Folkestone, 

 published in 1880, and Mr. Webb says that they 

 still occurred in the district in 1 90 1. — H. G.
