 exhibition of a collection of ordinary forms of Lepidoptera, 

 the one that I have brought this evening should merit it ; but 

 as I believe that any collection representative of a given time 

 and district cannot be without some matters of interest, I 

 venture to present to your notice the result of my summer 

 holiday spent at Eastbourne, Sussex, in August last, for the 

 most part between the loth and 23rd, but with four or five 

 odd days covering a period of nearly five weeks, from the 1st 

 of that month to 3rd September. 



Some few days in the first week in August were, I under-

 done at that time, and the weather later in the montli was far 

 from favourable ; high winds prevailed throughout, rendering
