 internana. — May, amongst furze-bushes ; Blackheath, Loughton. S. 

 composana. — August, in clover fields ; Kidbrook, Lee, Lewisham. -S'. 

 regiana. — June and July on sycamore ; this species rests high up on 

 the sycamores. The best way to take it is to watch a fence or brick 

 wall near the trees on which they live, at 9 a.m., when the imagines 

 may be seen drying their wings by the side of the pupa-cases, which are 

 generally placed between the slats, or in the crevices, of a fence. I have 

 also seen it in brick-woi'k. It is very rare. I have also seen it on fences 

 later in the day. [We have bred it from the larval hybernacula done up 

 beneath sycamore bark ; in Greenwich Park. — Ed.]. S. roseticolana. — 

 Dartford. Dicrorhampha politana. — June, amongst yarrow; South- 

 Eastern Eailway-bank at East Greenwich, and Brockley. I>. alpinana. —

 Blackheath. C. jnliana. — Bred from acorns and chestnuts collected in 

 Greenwich Park. I have also taken it at rest on the trunks of oak at 

 Lee and Kidbrook. Solitary trees in meadows must be worked for 

 this species, it is very rarely seen in woods. C. hypericana. — Amongst 

 Hypericum , in June ; Plumstead, West Wickham, Dartford. C. conter- 

 minana. — June, amongst lettuce, which grows very commonly in an

 stems of the plant. The moth was very common along the river-bank 

 from East Greenwich to Charlton. E. anthemidana. — Bred from the 

 seed-heads of Erigeron acre ; East Greenwich, railway-bank leading to
