FiDONID/E. 



Ematurga atoniaria ; fairly common, worn. 



Aspilates ochrearia {citrarid) ; very common, and just emerging. 

 No females were seen. They always seem less common than males. 



Zerenid^. 



Abraxas grossulariata ; common as usual elsewhere in all the 

 hedges. 



Larentiid/e. 



Larentia olivata; was to be had fairly commonly, but I secured none. 



Emmelesia affinitata ; one example. 



Eupithecia siibfitlvata ; occurs locally in some numbers : one odd 

 specimen was taken. 



E. centaureata ; one specimen. 



Melatithia ocellata : odd specimens continually met with. 



Melatiippe galiata ; was very common, and in good condition : 

 beaten from every hedge, a very good series might have been 

 obtained. 



M. fludttata and M. soclata were also common; indeed, the latter 

 species I have found this year to vie with C. bilineata in its ubiquitous 

 appearance. 



Afiticlea rubidata ; locally common, but worn and almost unrecog- 

 nisable. 



Coremia designata and C. unidetitaria were both common. 



Camptogravima bilineata-; certainly not the pest one usually meets 

 with it. 



Cidaria picata was reported as fairly common, but none were 

 secured. 



C. prunata {ribesiaria) was noted. 



EUBOLIID^. 



Eubo/ia piumbaria and E. bipinictaria were both observed. 



Mesofvpe virgata [lineo/afa) was very common on the sand-hills, 

 and from ova sent to Mr. Montgomery a few have been bred. The 

 imagines were most difficult to detect, and especially to get in good 

 condition. 



Pyralid^. 



Pyralis costalis and P. faritmlis were represented by single speci- 

 mens. 



Scoparia a/igi/stea : one and X murana several. 



JVomophi/a noctiiella was, as usual near the sea, fairly common. 



BOTVD/E. 



Scopula fei-rugalis : common in places. 



Pterophorid.i^. 

 Platyptilia ochrodactyla ; one specimen, and one P. govodactyla ; 

 small, no doubt a specimen of the summer brood. 

 Pterophorus monodactyla : of course was noticed.
