lively. One or two Geometers were attracted in like manner, the most 
noteworthy being Geometra papilionaria and Selenia illustraria. 
Turning to the day-flying moths. I have dealt with Zygaena 
trifolli more than once, it was perhaps remarkable for its entire absence 
at Bovey Tracey, but 7. filipendulae was common on the road sides, 
among the broad grassy edgings; at the end of July I visited an old 
locality near Manaton for Z%. trifolii, and found it nearly over. I 
took, however, two curious aberrations, one with the spots on the left 
side of the primaries straw colour, and the wing itself brownish, and 
the other quite symmetrically marked, with the fifth spot entirely 
straw colour, as also was the lower part of the lower median spot of 
the primaries and a little straw coloured patch at the anal angle of 
each secondary—the outer half of the primary had quite lost the usual 
bronze hue. Whether this can have been due to damp, or whether it 
is defective coloration, Iam unable to say, though I must admit we 
had very little rain indeed in that part of Devonin 1917. Callimorpha 
dominula was Common among some willows that surrounded a small 
mine that had been obtained and worked by Germans until the out- 
break of the war. It was very fond of soaring high up in the air in 
the brilliant sunshine. I picked upa single fine 2 of Arctia caja in 
a hedge row. Larve did not appear to be abundant, but on some 
willows a mile below Hey Tor rock Dicranura vinula were in great 
plenty. Generally speaking, Devon is fairly rich in Heterocera, and 
some of our best Noctuidae are to be taken within its borders, but 
these latter are not to be found in the immediate neighbourhood we 
have been considering. 
Insects collected in Salonica district in 1917 and 1918. 
By Carr. GEO. §. ROBERTSON, M.D., R.A.M.C. 
Mr. Norman C. Preston has collected most of the following insects 
in this locality, and I have added a few to his list. He has had them 
identified by the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, British Museum 
(Nat. Hist.). We thought it would be of interest to publish the list. 
All were found within a five mile radius of Salonica.
