plentiful at light, the most common species being Anchocelis lunosa, 

 which some evenings positively swarmed, and rarer PoUa flavicincta 

 and Eumichtis protea. The latter insect I do not remember to 

 have observed before in this part of the county. There is an 

 exquisitely faithful figure of it in M. J. Culot's ' Noctuelles d'Europe,' 

 in my opinion by far the most accurate work of the kind ever 

 attempted, and in every way worthy of the artist who has designed 

 for so many years the plates of M. Charles Oberthiir's beautiful 

 ' Lepidopterologie Compar^e.' — H. Eowland-Brown ; Harrow
