A PRELIMINARY LIST OP THE INSECT-FAUNA OF MIDDLESEX. 65 



"garden at South Hampstead," mentioned, is in the King 

 Henry's Eoad. 



(16.) Hy. Eowland-Brown, Jr. A MS. list of Zygsenidse and 

 Bombyces, observed in North Middlesex. 



(17.) Geo. Wall. A MS. list of Lepidoptera taken at Hare- 

 field, 1880 to 1890. 



A few additions should be made to the lists published. 

 Mr. Francis C. Woodbridge writes that Crabro interruptus, DeG., 

 occurs in his garden at Uxbridge. Mr. C. W. Watts adds 

 Argynnis euphrosyne, L., " which was, and probably still is, 

 common in the woods about Pinner and Euislip; " B,nd. Nisoniades 

 tages, L., " common at Euislip, in meadows." He also remarks 

 that Epinephele hyperanthes is abundant in the same localities as 

 A. euphrosyne, "with a strong tendency to var. arete, though I 

 never got one altogether spotless." Mr. Eowland-Brown adds 

 Thecla w-alhum, Knoch, " a single specimen, taken in 1887 by 

 Mr. Peers, on the lawn at Harrow Weald Eectory;" and 

 Mr. Geo. Wall gives me notes of Deilephila livornica, Esp., 

 Harefield, one in 1884 ; and Choerocampa celerio, L., Harefield, 

 Aug. ] 886, one specimen given to him by J. Milton. 



Some other interesting notes have been sent, which will be 

 useful for a list of addenda and new localities, to be prepared 

 perhaps at some future date ; but in such a list various new 

 localities for the very common species will not be inserted, as 

 they are scarcely of sufficient importance to justify the amount 

 of space they would occupy. It is no doubt desirable that every 

 parish in the county should have its fauna and flora catalogued 

 accurately and in detail, but special information of this kind is 

 best published by the local societies, and obviously cannot 

 appear in full in a journal like the ' Entomologist.'
