which occupies about half of one of the garden walls being literally

 lasted many days.

 front of the house July 30th, 1896. 



Zanclognatha grisealis. — A couple were taken on the wing in 1892, 

 and another in 1897. 



Z. tarsipeiinalis. — One in 189 1 and another in 1908. 



Hypena rosiralis. — Fairly common ; appears to have a fancy for

 reared from a larva taken on a clematis. 



Rumia hiteolata. — Occasionally at rest ; more often on the wing in 

 the evening.

 a brood was reared July, 1888, from ova found on a lilac twig in the 

 previous year. 



Biston hirtaria. — Frequently found at rest, and reared from larvae 

 taken on rose and oak. On two occasions when I have been rearing 

 the species males have been found resting on the outsides of the 

 breeding-cages in the morning, evidently attracted by the freshly 

 emerged females inside. 



Affip/iidasys l^etiiJaria. — The only specimens seen were a typical 

 form at rest May 31st, 1892, and a pair consisting of male var. 

 doubiedayaria, and female of a rather darkly speckled form taken

 house, probably attracted there by the lights. 



Acidalia dimidiata (scutulata). — Once taken, July 24th, 1891. 



A. dilutaria [iuter/'ectaria). — Has occasionally been met with. 



A. virgularia {incanaria).- — Has always been fairly common, but 

 more so during the past few years than formerly. 



A. aversata. — A fairly common species, the plain and banded 

 forms occurring in about equal numbers. 



Halia vauaria. — Occasionally at rest, but not common.
