CAPTURES AND FIKLD REPORTS. 355 



result being two earwi/js and one " daddy longlegs " ; last year at the 

 same time and on the same trees the following were positively 

 swarming: — Ampldpyra lyyi-amidca, AnchoceUs pistacina, A. lunosa, A. 

 litura, Xanthi<i citnufo, X.falviujo smdYSbV'. fldvencens, X. jiararfo [silago), 

 Calyiiinia trapezina, &c., with occasionally Catocala nupta and Xantlda 

 fjUviKjo. Chariclea umbra [mari/iiuita) came to "sugar" several times, 

 also Neil Ha reticulata. I have "sugared " almost every night through 

 the season, on all the " old " grounds, and the result is naturally 

 disappointing. On the otiier hand, nettiug at dusk in the spring and 

 early summer has produced fairly good results. Asthena candidata 

 could be taken eight or ten witli one sweep of the net at Derrick woods, 

 Macaria notata, lodis lacteria, Tephrosia jJitnctidaria, Uropterij-v sainba- 

 caria, Thyatira batis, T. deiasa, Dicranura furciila, Drepana falcotaria, 

 Cymatophora fiuctuoRa, C. duplaris, genus Zonuwma, Hecatera serena 

 (on fences), Pterustoma palplim, HyLophila pradnana, H. bicolorana 

 {quercaua), Numeria pulreraria, Biipaliis piniaria, Geometra vernaria, 

 Cr. papdionnria, and many others have occurred more or less in pro- 

 fusion. Notodonla dndonea, N. chaonid, and fr'liisia moneta I also had 

 the luck to take several times ; but, taking the season altogether, it 

 has certainly not been a good one here. — Alfked J. Lawrance ; 

 Bromley Common, Kent, Sept. 24th, 1901.
