is so much of the same depth and colouring, especially on the back and sides, as to 
produce a very soft uniform appearance ; even the tubercular dots appear wanting, 
though really they are present, and even black in colour, but then they are so minute 
as not to be noticed without a lens. 
When full-fed, the larva bends down a leaf of the reed, or fastens two or more 
leaves together, and there spins a slight and rather open worked cocoon of greyish 
silk, the upper surface flattened, within which it changes to a pupa. The perfect 
insects appeared between the 7th of July and 9th of August. 
To give some notion of the extent to which this species suffers from parasites, 
chiefly small ichneumons, though sometimes dipterous, I may mention, that of 
twenty specimens sent me by Mr. Vaughan not one had escaped being stung; and 
from those he retained for himself, he succeeded in rearing but one moth.—Wm.

Notes on species of Tineina feeding wpon Fungi.—It is never possible to say what 
piece of good luck one may meet with by going u little farther. I thought that I 
had made the acquaintance of every species of moth that was in the habit of fre- 
quenting a large chalk pit which has been a favourite collecting ground of mine 
for the last three seasons; but, one afternoon last July, I happened to walk over to a
