as Aphantopus (Enodia) hyperanthus, Maniola (Epinephele) tithonus, 

 and Adopcea flava (thaumas), while the local Nemeobius lucina and 

 Polyommatus corydon never fail at their appointed dates to make a good 

 showing. The lepidoptera seen or taken on the occasion of the 

 Society's visit did not include any of the rarer butterflies, but such as 

 were on the wing were sufficiently numerous. Maniola (Epinephele) 

 janira and Adopcea flava were in great abundance, the latter especially, 

 so much so that frequently the writer had four and five in the net at 

 once. The remaining species of the lepidoptera taken or noted were 

 as follows : Augiades sylvanus, Pieris brassicce, Pieris napi, Macro- 

 glossa stellatarum, Calligenia miniata, Lithosia deplaiia, Porthesia 

 similis, Tricena {Acro?iycta) tridens, Heliophila (Leucania) conigera, 

 Caradrina qttadripunctata, Triphcena pronuba, Hecatera serena, Plusia 

 gamma, Aventia flexula, Rivula sericealis, Zanclognatha tarsipennalis, 

 Urapteryx sambucaria, Rumia luteolata, Metrocampa margaritaria, 

 Pseudoterpna pruinata, Hemithea strigata, Asthena candidata, 

 Acidalia rubiginata, Acidalia dimidiata, Acidalia virgularia, Acidalia

 to Mr. F. M. B. Carr for the two foregoing lists. The only other 

 records sent in of other orders were two lists of the plants, one by
