984 LORD WALSINGHAM ON THE [Nov. 26, 



This species is extremely common in all the barrancos about 

 Guimar, and Villa Orotava, and probably everywhere from 1000- 

 3000 ft. It forms cones on at least two species of Hypericum 

 (grandifolium, canariense, etc.). It is the Gracilaria sp., no. 238 

 of Rebel's List, and on comparison proves to be the species 

 described as Gracilaria ? aurantiaca by Wollaston, from Madeira, 

 which I erroneously listed as Blastobasis ? aurantiaca (I. c. 3).

Common on various species of Convolvulus : I have recognised 

 the mines on Convolvulus Jloridus,a,ind bred it from C. althaeoides. 



The record of the occurrence of u Phyllobrostis daphneella Stgr." 

 in the Madeiras [Wlsm. Tr. Ent. JSoc. Lond. 1894. 538, 555 

 no. 66] must be corrected : examining again the fragment, thus 

 identified at the time, I find it to be a remnant of Bedellia 

 somnulentella Z., which Stainton had already recorded from 

 Madeira.
