THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



On the 17th of this month there was an extraordinary number 

 of captures for no apparent reason. On the 30th there was a great 

 decrease in captures, also without any satisfactory reason. Whether 

 the lack of honey dew this month had anything to do with the 

 captures I can't say, but it may be a factor in the case.

The three nights, 11th, 13th, 14th, when it was light all night, 

 produced a poor record of captures compared with the rest of the 

 month, otherwise there was no particular feature to which to draw 

 attention.
