FiDONIDiE. 



Emahtrga atomaria ; fairly common, worn. 



Aspilates ochrearia [dh'aria) ; very common, and just emerging. 

 No females were seen. They always seem less common than males. 



Zerenid/E. 



Abraxas grossulariata ; common as usual elsewhere in all the 

 hedges. 



Larentiid.^. 



Lai-entia oHvata .; was to be had fairly commonly, but I secured none. 



Emvielesia affinitata ; one example. 



Eupithecia siibfiilvata ; occurs locally in some numbers : one odd 

 specimen was taken. 



E. centai/reata ; one specimen. 



Melanthia ocellata ; odd specimens continually met with. 



Melatiippe galiata : was very common, and in good condition : 

 beaten from every hedge, a very good series might have been 

 obtained. 



M. fiuctiiata and M. sociata were also common ; indeed, the latter 

 species I have found this year to vie with C. bilineata in its ubiquitous 

 appearance. 



Anticlea rubidata ; locally common, but worn and almost unrecog- 

 nisable. 



Coremia desig?mta and C. luiidentaria were both common. 



Campfogramma bilineata-; certainly not the pest one usually meets 

 with it. 



Cidaria picata was reported as fairly common, but none were 

 secured, 



C. prunata {ribesiarid) was noted. 



EUEOLIIDiE. 



Eiibolia plumbaria and E. bipufictaria were both observed. 



Mesotvpe virgata {litieolata) was very common on the sand-hills, 

 and from ova sent to Mr. Montgomery a few have been bred. The 

 imagines were most difficult to detect, and especially to get in good 

 condition. 



Pyralid^. 



Py7'alis costalis and F. fa?-inalis were represented by single speci- 

 mens. 



Scopafia a7igustea ; one and J?, murana several. 



Nomophila noctiiella was, as usual near the sea, fairly common. 



BOTYD^. 



Scopida ferrugalis ; common in places. 



Ptkrophorid/E. 

 Platyptilia odwodacfyla ; one specimen, and one P. govodactyla ; 

 small, no doubt a specimen of the summer brood. 

 Pterophorus mo7iodactyIa ; of course was noticed.
