mained only for us to retrace our steps. In doing so we fell in with 

 another member of the Society, who shall be nameless, who, having 

 more regard for Lepidoptera than for fungi, had " sugared " a number 

 of the trees to which such common species as Anchocelis pistacifia, 

 Cerastis vaccinti, Xanthia fulvago {cerago), X. flavago, etc., were 

 already coming in some numbers, and this was as much as we saw of 

 that order in the perfect state, for the afternoon had been absolutely 

 barren in that respect. Some few larvae, however, had been beaten, 

 among them several Amphidasys betularia not yet half grown, a 

 striking record of the unpropitious climatic conditions of the past 

 summer. On the way back a halt was made at the " Bull's Head" 

 Hotel at Chislehurst for tea, after which a pleasant stroll to the 

 railway station brought the party there in good time for the 8.23 

 train home. 



Mr. Stanley Edwards, who collected for the purpose of recording, 

 submitted his basket to Dr. M. C. Cooke, who, from its contents, was 

 able to identify upwards of thirty species, the remainder, for the 

 reason already mentioned, being too far gone to be recognisable ; 

 and Mr. Step added another ten species from those that he had 

 taken home for photographic purposes, of which we shall no doubt 

 see more anon, bringing the total of those identified to forty-two 

 species, a list of which is attached.
