LEPIDOPTERA.—Mr. T. A. Lofthouse writes :—Although the 
weather was fine, lepidoptera were noticeably scarce, even for 
this season. It is possible that the very wet weather prevalent 
last year and the early part of this year and the cold and sunless 
summer may be accountable. Most of the species recorded 
only occurred singly or in very small numbers, in fact, very few 
insects of any kind were beaten out during a considerable time 
devoted to this mode of collecting. Sugaring was tried on one 
evening at Kildale but not a single lepidopterous insect was 
attracted.
