8070 Insects. 



Pericallia syringaria. I have only one reared by Mr. Greene, off 

 lilac, during his visit here. 



Selenia illunaria. Abundant in all the lanes. 



S. illustraria. I have taken this insect several times; 1 remember 

 taking it once at sugar. 



Odontopera bidentata. I frequently take this on the heath. 



Crocallis elinguaria. Not uncommon. 



Enuomos tiliaria, E. fuscantaria and E. erosaria. I have only taken 

 one each of these three. 



E. angularia. This species I bred from a larva found at Lyndhurst 

 feeding on beech. 



Himera pennaria. Although this insect is generally common I have 

 only taken a single male. 



Amphydasls prodromaria. I sometimes find the pupae of this insect 

 at the roots of oak. I have only bred it once. 



A. betularia. I have reared this several times from pupae found at 

 roots of elm. 



Hemerophila abruptaria. Taken once. 



Cleora lichenaria. I have taken this insect several times, but it 

 always appears to be injured. 



Boarmia repandata. Common. This was the first insect 1 ever 

 took at sugar. 



B. rhomboidaria. May be taken occasionally. 



Gnophos obscurata. Rare. I have only seen two examples, both 

 being the dark variety. 



Pseudoterpna cytisaria. Common on the heaths. It soon fades. 



Geometra papilionaria. Rare. I took a single male flying round 

 the trunk of a birch on a moonlight night, in 1861. I have been told 

 this king of the emeralds is very partial to moonlight nights. 



Nemoria viridata. This species appears to be very rare here ; I have 

 only seen a single specimen. 



lodis lactearia. Common about three miles from here, but unfortu- 

 nately the beautiful green bloom on the wings fades soon after death. 



Hemithea thymiaria. Common. 



Ephyra porata, E. punctaria and E. trilinearia. The two former I 

 have taken several times, the latter rarely. 



Asthena luteata. Rather scarce. 



A. candidata. I have taken this several times. 



Acidalia scutulata. I have only taken this species once. 



A. promutata. Scarce. 



A. remutata. Common.
