group of insects, but only to find : — " Die Raupe nach Stainton im 

 Mai in den Stielen von Hypericum." 



Any one would think from this, I had discovered the larva, 

 whereas I have only recorded the observations made first by Mr. W. 

 R. Jeffrey, and secondly by Lord Walsingham, and I have no wish to 

 have undue credit forced upon me. Moreover, I may confess that I 

 had imagined that the notice given of the larva and its habits would 

 have enabled any energetic collector to find it. 



In the south of France, another Gelechia larva burrowing in 

 stems of Hypericum has been detected by Lord Walsingham, "having 

 exactly the same habits as those of Gelechia atrella, but failing to 

 make the same 'spectacle-case' cocoon." 



May there not be yet other species with somewhat similar habits ? 

 the mine is probably not exhausted.

NOTES ON DR. JORDAN'S ENTOMOLOGICAL RAMBLE AT BERGEN, 

 NORWAY, AUGUST 20th, 1887. 



BY W. M. SCHOTEN, 

 Conservator at the Zoological Museum of the University of Christiania. 



In vol. xxiv of this Magazine there are two separate contributions 

 to the Lepidopterous Fauna of Norway, viz.: "An Entomological 

 Ramble at Bergen, Norway, August 20th, 1887," by Dr. Robert C. R. 

 Jordan, pp. 127 — 130; and "Notes on some Norwegian Crambi," by 

 Mr. G. T. Baker, pp. 267, 268. 



Concerning the latter, which is based, likewise, on Dr. Jordan's 

 captures in this country, I have but little to say, but, in Dr. Jordan's 

 article, there are several errors which need to be corrected, and I must 

 therefore beg space for a few remarks on some of his determinations 

 of the species captured or observed by him. 



Mr. Baker is, no doubt, right when he says, at the beginning of 

 his article, that, " comparatively speaking, but little is known of the 

 Scandinavian Insect-Fauna amongst the majority of British Entomolo- 

 gists," but there is certainly no reason why this should be so, were 

 only the British Entomologists as much interested in the knowledge 

 of our Scandinavian, as we are in that of their British Fauna. 



Then, with regard to most orders of our insects, there are publi- 

 cations both of older and more recent date, so that any one wishing 

 to obtain special information on these matters could readily do so.
