Previous Entomological Exploration. 
According to Staudinger, Finsterwalden landed at Sig- 
lafjord after a voyage of thirty days, on May 2nd, 1856, and 
collected off the poorest neighbourhood, but very dili- 
gently, 
Dr. Krueper, after a voyage of 27 days, landed on May 
20th, visited Hofsos, on the Skagafjord, Fridriksgafa, 
on Eyjafjordur and Reykjalit, on the border of Lake 
Myvatn. The remaining two of the company of four 
German naturalists, Kalisch and Dr. Staudinger, landed at 
Reykjavik, and visited Thingvellir, Geysir, and Grafunger, 
Krueper found Hadena Sommeri, at Hofsés, N. Iceland, but 
Finsterwalden did not succeed in meeting with it at Siglaf- 
jord. Kruefer found Plusia interrogationus at Myvatn, and 
Finsterwalden took one specimen of this species (which I 
captured at Thingvellir) at Siglufjord. Iam glad that my 
experience of the absence of moths at so northerly a locality as 
Siglufjord is borne out by their scarcity there, at all events, 
as recorded by former travellers. Kalisch found Hemero- 
bius nervosus (Neuropt) at the end of May. Hofsos, it may 
be noted, is in the middle of the east shore of Skagafjord, 
and Fridricksgifa, (also above-menticned), alias Motruvellir, 
is about four-fifths down the whole distance of Eyjafjordur 
from the sea, and near the western shore of that spacious
