were climbing the fir trunks, and some were already fastened for 

 pupation ; last year's cases were still strongly [in evidence. Year- 

 old cases of Talffporia psetido-bombycella were also seen. Two 

 cases (?) of Solenobia licheneUa (or possibly incoHspicueUa) were seen 

 with the empty pupa case attached ; one of these contained eggs. 

 Other similar cases containing larv^ are most probably Narycia 

 vwnilifera ; these were frequent. The birch trees were full of 

 larvae of Eriocranias. Some small trees were really seriously 

 blighted, having one or two mines of E. semipiirpurella in each leaf. 

 E. purpiirella was not nearly so abundant, and E. sangii was com- 

 paratively rare. E. subpiirpurella was seen on the wing.
