154 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



of August in 1905, and the last fortnight of August in 

 1906. Of E. epiphron there were none, P. interrogationis none, 

 but Larentia salicata was very abundant in both years. This 

 insect is particularly common on the rocks on Bow Fell, but is 

 perhaps best obtained by walking along the stone walls, when, 

 by waving the net about near the wall, the insect flies off, and is 

 easily captured. Another insect which I took on Bow Fell (and 

 nowhere else) was Larentia flavicinctata, which was obtained 

 from the rocks in the same manner. Both these insects are 

 accompanied by an abundance of L. ccesiata, and it is necessary 

 to take every possible insect which flies off in case it may be 

 L. flavicinctata, which is not an insect to be despised. 



In 1905 I also discovered that the large patches of juniper 

 which are found on Lingmoor, Bow Fell, and elsewhere were 

 swarming with a beautiful dark variety of Eupithecia sobrinata, 

 and I obtained the same insect again in 1906. In the latter 

 year, also, I took one specimen (and missed two others) of Thera 

 simulata in the juniper on Bow Fell, but did not meet with it 

 elsewhere. 



Other insects to be noted are : — 



Stilbia anomala, of which I took three specimens, all kicked 

 up by chance out of the long grass — one on Bow Fell, one on 

 Langdale Pikes, one on Lingmoor. 



Chelonia plantaginis, which occurred in 1902 and 1903 chiefly 

 on the tops of high mountains in company with E. epiphron ; I 

 could never find var. hospiton, though I searched several times 

 on Helvellyn. 



Coremia munitata, fairly plentiful among bracken and in long 

 grass on the sides and tops of high mountains. 



Larentia olivata occurred every year in small numbers, 

 always in a worn state, chiefly in the clefts in which the 

 streams run down the sides of the fells, where there are over- 

 hanging rocks. 



Cidaria testata, which occurred abundantly everywhere, par- 

 ticularly in the heather. This is noticeable as occurring almost 

 entirely as a beautiful lilac variety. I took no yellow ones 

 whatever. 



I have never met with Erebia blandina nor Coenonympha 

 typhon, nor with the variety of E. epiphron in which the black 

 dots have white centres (? var. cassiope, or is this the type and 

 the other the variety ; or is this epiphron and the one without 

 white centres cassiope ?). 



The following insects complete the list of all those taken or 

 observed in the district during the four seasons: — Pieris brassiccB, 

 P. napi, P. rapes, Gonepteryx rhamni, Argynnis selene, Vanessa io, 

 V. atalanta, V. urticce, Epinephele ianira, Coenonympha pamphilus, 

 Polyommatus phlceas, Lyccena icarus, Hesperia sylvanus, Hepialus 

 hamuli, H. velleda, Cossus ligniperda, Arctia lubricipeda, A.
