On going up to the Drachenfels, a fine male Satyrus Mera was 
settled on the castle out of reach, we could not make him fly, and he 
finally folded his wings and went to sleep. We then returned by the 
same path, and after going down a little way diverged into an open 
space strewn abundantly with large masses of rock; there were fir-trees 
near, and Coleophora laricella was: particularly plentiful, and so was 
Pyrausta punicealis on the Origanum, which helped to form the carpet 
under our feet. Here we were fortunate enough to take Gcophora 
Lambdella and Butalis Scopolella by beating amongst the shrubs; by 
sweeping, curiously, Aigeriatipuli formis was captured, and yet we could 
find no currant bushes near. After awhile, we again went downwards, 
and on coming to the end of the wood of the Drachenfels, turned off 
towards the Wolkenberg through a little pine copse, and here Coccyx 
_hyrciniana was found in swarms, and Hphyra omicronaria was met with 
asleep on a pine trunk; after this, was a little hedge with Prunus 
spinosa and Rosa canina, and out of this we beat Mowana arcuana, 
Antithesia pruniana, Cnephasia hybridana, and Argyrotoza Conwayana ; 
then proceeding up the wooded path leading to the Wolkenberg, we 
found by beating <Acidalia incanata and remutata, Gelechia aleella, 
Acrolepia cariosella, and Hypsolophus fasciellus : Tischeria complanella 
was abundant amongst the oak, and on the summit of the Wolkenberg 
Crambus chrysonuchelius was met with. In coming down we caught 
Phasiane plumbaria, which was common, and one female Gomphus, the 
only dragon-fly seen that day, and, with the exception of a Libellula 
depressa, the only one we saw in the neighbourhood. We again went 
_ to the Drachenfels, and dined at the little Gast-hof there, and in coming 
back by the same route, we took Acidalia aversata, Ephyra punctaria, 
Camptogramma bilineata, Phlaodes tetraquetrana, and Gelechia tripar- 
ella ; Carabus auratus came out as it grew towards evening where we 
had seen Cicindela campestris in the morning, and we found two of 
Dasychira pudibunda asleep on a stone wall which bounded a vineyard 
in our road. 
After breakfast on the 11th, we again set out for a ramble, at first 
taking the same road through the vineyards, but diverging from it on 
- entering the wood, this brought us to a road which we followed until 
it divided at a spot where there was a directing post, and a very pretty 
stone cross. We took the left-hand turning to the Wolkenberg, and 
just past this spot, Adela fibulella was found basking as usual in the
