Tortrices and Tinege call for no special comment, the 

 number taken was very small and the species only the most

Larvae were not systematically worked, but it was noted 

 that those of Phalera bitcephala, L., were very common on 

 the osiers, where H alias chlorajta, L., also occurred. A 

 couple of nests of Vanessa urticce, L., were feeding on the 

 nettles, and Peronea permutana, Dup., had been abundant 

 amiong Rosa spinosissima, L., as usual, but had pupated. 

 These, together with an occasional Acronycta aceris, L., and 

 Plusia gamma, L., bring the list to a close.
