bridge : — " It may be remembered that at the Society's meet- 

 ing of March 13th, 1890, I exhibited larvse and imagines of a 

 species of Tinea feeding in fish guano, from Brettesnoes on 

 the north-west coast of Norway. At that meeting, and subse- 

 quently, Mr. Tutt expressed the opinion that it was Tineola 

 biselliella, Hml., but other gentlemen differed ; grounding their 

 decision chiefly on the large size of the specimens. I did not 

 take biselliella last year ; but this spring I have taken a few 

 specimens, both at Leeds and York, which did not differ in 

 any way from the insects bred from the guano, being quite as 

 large. I believe, therefore, I am right in concluding that the 

 insects bred from the fish 'guano are T. biselliella; unfortu- 

 nately, however, the specimens from York and Leeds have 

 been accidentally destroyed, so that I am unable to forward 

 them."
