bee orchis (Ophrys apifera) was in absolute abundance ; it 

 would have been an easy matter to pick a few hundred stems. 



Among those who came down in the afternoon, Mr. Sich 

 reports the following species and gives notes on each. 



Acidalia ornata, Sc ; two or three taken on the chalky 

 slope. 



Larcntia viridaria, F. {pectinitaria Knoch.) ; one at rest on 

 a larch trunk. 



Crambus hortuclhis, Hb., and C. pasciicllus, L. ; frequent on 

 the slope. 



Platytcs cerussellus, Schiff. ; abundant on slope. 



Wheeleria niveidactyla (baliodactyla, Z.) ; one in fine condi- 

 tion at foot of slope. 



Douglasia ocnerostomclla, Stt. ; abundant on plants of 

 Echium. The very long tongue, and the dust-like scales at 

 the apex of the wing and on the fringe, will help to separate 

 this species from our other unicolorous moths of the same 

 size. 



Argyrcsthia abdominalis, Z. ; one beaten out of juniper. 



Blastoterc dilectella, Z. ; two in fine condition beaten out of 

 juniper. 



Xystophora (Gelcchia) tenebrella, Hb. ; one swept off herbage 

 on slope. 



Pancalia lenwenhoeckclla, L. ; one swept off herbage on 

 slope — a rather worn specimen. 



Coleophora onosmella, Brahm. ; not rare on slope. One 

 case found. 



Stcphensia brunnichiella, L. ; one specimen of this Elachista- 

 like micro on the slope. 



Gracilaria auroguttella, Stph. ; two swept off Hypericum 

 in the wood, where the species was doubtless common ;, 

 and — 



Micropteryx seppclla, F. ; two or three in the wood. 



Mr. Dodds met with Boarmia repandata and Plusia 

 pulchrina. 



Mr. Tonge reports among other captures Zanclognatha 

 tarsipennalis, Z. grisealis, Eurrhypara itrticata, Pliibalapieryx 

 vitalbata, and Hecatera sercua. 



Mr. Brown notes in addition Anticha sinuata and Melantliia 

 ocellata. 



Mr. Adkin sends a considerable list, among which are the 

 following not reported by other members : Gnophria rubri- 

 collis, Scoparia ambigualis, Euchromia piirpurcinci, and Xantho- 

 setia haniana. 



In Coleoptera, Mr. Ashdown took Cryptoccphahis hypo-
