B. lichenaria (on lichens growing on apple-trees). Later in the year 

 numerous moths come to "sugar," and besides those already men- 

 tioned as larvffi are H. derasa, T. batis, A. segetum, A. exclamaiionis, 

 A. ypsilon, N. glareosa, N. de2mncta{a, single specimen), N. c-nignim, 

 N. bninnea, N. i:)lecta, T. ianthina, E. j^^'^isina (four examples only), 

 E. occulta (one specimen), E. nebulosa, B. brassicce, M. oleracea, 

 G. graminis, C. matitra, M. strigilis, M. literosa, M. bicoloria (rather 

 scarce), X. lithoxylea, X. monogly pha (ab. perfusca, one example), 

 A. Intulenta, P. chi, P. meticulosa, M. maura, N. typica, L. piallens 

 (reddish form), L. impura, L. lithargyria, L. conigara, C. quadri- 

 pimctata, M. tragopogonis, and X. circellaris. Flowers are also very 

 attractive — lavender to A. triplasia, H. sylvina, &c. ; sage to N. um- 

 brosa and G. taraxaci ; while ragwort produces plenty of T. interjecta, 

 H. nictitans, H. micacea, &c. A strong acetylene light and a sheet 

 have been the means of obtaining D. falcataria, G. glaucata, S. lubri- 

 cipeda, S. menthrastri, L. lurideola, A. agathina (one specimen), 

 E. popularis, T. cespitis, L. testacea, S. cmomala, G. xerampelma, 

 A. lunosa, A. lychnicUs, X. fulvago, X. flavago, P. clirysitis, P. gamma, 

 H.proboscidalis, P.pruinata, G. papilionaria, H. strigata, A. aversata, 

 A. bisetata, 0. limitata, G. brumata, T. dubitata, L. prunata, L. tes- 

 tata, G. truncata, C. siterata, G. miata, L. suffumata, G. ferrugata, 

 A. viridaria, M. didymata, X. montanata, X. fluctuata, X. sociata, 

 P. alchemillata, C. bilineata, H. furcata, A. badiata, E. vulgata, 

 E. rectangulata, A. sylvata, A. grossulariata, L. marginata, L. adus- 

 tata, C.pusaria,M. margaritaria, E. alniaria, S. bilunaria, G. bidentata, 

 G. elinguaria, 0. sambucaria, 0. luteolata, E. apiciaria, H. marginaria, 

 A. cBscularia, B. gemmaria, B. repandata, and one example of H. fitsco- 

 nebulosa ab. gallicus; also, on the sand-hills, P. dictcea, A. vestigialis, 

 A. cursoria, A. tritici, A. stngula, A. pracox, E. lichenea, T. fidva, 

 G. obscurata, and X. galiata. The following moths have been taken 

 on the wing : — M. stellatarum, G. potatoria (one specimen on the 

 sand-hills), 0. quadra (one example; one larva has also been found), 

 P. inter rogatibnis (one example on heath), H. humuli, and H. lupu- 

 lina. In April the pupae of M. thalassina are abundant under moss 

 on rocks and stone walls, and in August the tall marsh thistles con- 

 tain the pupaj of 0. ochracea. 



On the whole it may be said that Anglesey is fairly productive of 

 Lepidoptera, much, however, depending on the season. — E. S. A.

Entomological Society of London. — Wednesday, October Qt]i, 

 1909.— Dr. F. A. Dixey, M.A., M.D., President, in the chair.— Mr. 

 Hugh Scott, B.A., Trinity College, and the Museum of Zoology, 

 Cambridge, and Mr. Carlton C. Goudey, B.Sc, Uganda, British East 

 Africa, were elected Fellows of the Society.— Sir George Hampson 

 brought for exhibition the unique example of a Noctuid moth new to 

 science, captured in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen by Mr. L. G. 

 Esson, and presented to the National Collectiorr by the Hon. N. C. 

 Rothschild. It would be necessary, he said, to constitute a new 

 genus for it, as it presented characters not known to exist in allied
