is, too, very abundant at the end of June, near the Belalp hotel. 
Parnassius delius also abounds on the Hospenthal side of the Furka 
pass, a short distance beyond the summit. I have, however, taken it 
above the bridge, just below the hotel at Bérisal—R. B. Posrans,

Leprpoprera at Wicken 1n 1899.—I was at Wicken during the 
first week of August, 1899, but the weather was bad for night-work— 
light, cold, and windy. I met with nothing much except the ordinary 
Wicken species. Thymelicus lineola was very common on Burwell Fen, 
Tapinostola hellmannt common and in good condition, Arsilonche 
albovenosa occurred sparingly both as imagines and larve (about one- 
third grown); Helotropha jibrosa was just coming out, as also was 
Calamia phragmitidis. The larve of Cidaria sagittata were found 
sparingly on the seedheads of Thalictrum flavum.  Tortrix dumetana 
was abundant and just out; St¢gmonota orobana was fairly common, but 
worn, as also was Phowopteryx paludana. Among other species were 
P. siculana, Eupoecilia rupicola, Ef. notulana, Orthotaenia antiquana, 
Ditula semifasciana, Catoptria expallidana, Tortrix costana, and Sericoris 
fuligana. Letoptilus microdactylus was common, too, at dusk. Macro- 
gaster arundinis had been comparatively common, but not a specimen 
of Hydrilla palustris was taken.—J. A. Burtrerrienp, B.Sc., 35,
