Insects. 2957 



CE.grandipennis. June 26th, rather frequent in sunshine, on furze-bushes, on 

 Durdharn Down ; but I neglected to take above three, as I was exclusively paying my 

 devoirs to Crambus dumetellus just at that time. I have mentioned the fact to Mr. 

 Vaughan, who lives near the down, and he will doubtless secure a supply for his 

 friends next season. By the bye, why does this clever and very successful amateur 

 refrain from allowing the world to be benefited by some account of his campaigns ? 



Depressaria propinquella. In May and October, on gorse and golden-rod ; not 

 scarce. 



D. subpropinquella is very scarce ; both best found by lamp-light. 



D. Hypericella. July 20th, several bred from larvae found on Hypericum perfo- 

 ratum, about June 12th. 



Gelechia Isabella (Mann.) rufescens (Haw.) July 20th, among Carex in Oak- 

 hall Pool, at sunset, and in afternoon, by beating in a very shady, damp, grassy, 

 fir plantation (chiefly) ; scarce. 



G. subocellea (St.) July 14th, sunset, flying among Carex in Oakhall Pool, and 

 not easily taken, having the same slinking mode of action as spectrana: not nu- 

 merous. 



G. bifractella (Mann.) July 29th, sunset, grassy bank of Hortham Wood ; rare. 



G. Inula (Curt.) July 20th, sunset flight, long grass in verge of Woodland 

 Copse ; scarce. 



G. gibbosella. July 18th, beating bushes near aspens, and I believe disturbed off 

 the stems of the trees in Hortham Wood ; but having seen but three, and those in 

 flight, I cannot be positive. 



G. senectella. July 12th, beaten from grassy places in gorse cover and old 

 quarries ; not rare. 



Argyresthia semitestacella. August 14th, beaten off beeches in several localities, 

 but worn. I have no doubt they may be taken wherever the beech is found, at the 

 end of July. 



A. semifusca. August 6th, beaten out of orchard hedge, but it is rather rare here. 



Coleophora spissicornis, deauratella and Frischella (Alcyonipennella P). I took one 

 or two of each of these among clover and rye-grass, and among some rushes in damp, 

 cold pastures, at Patchway, at noon and sunset, chiefly the latter ; scarce. 



C. albicosta. June 10th, among nettles and gorse in cover ; not rare. 



C. Gallipennella. June 26th, grassy verge of Woodland Copse, at sunset ; scarce. 



C. lineola. September 4th, Stoke rough ground, at sunset ; scarce. 



C. Tilliella. July 6th, sunset, among Carex and rushes in Oakhall Pool ; scarce. 



C. Coracipennella. June and July ; not scarce on sides of grassy ditches and 

 banks. 



C. nigricella. End of June, grassy ditch on side of copse at sunset, in flight ; 

 scarcer. 



C. badiipennella. June 12th, sunset, grassy verge of Woodland Copse ; scarce. 



C. Lusciniapennella. June 23rd, sunset, grassy, rushy ditch of meadow ; scarce. 



C. orbitella. July 3rd, sunset, bushes and grass in swampy part of Hortham 

 Wood; scarce. 



C. saturatella. July 3rd, sunset, Stoke rough ground ; scarce. 



C. lacunicolella. June 26th, sunset, grassy ditch of Woodland Copse ; scarce. 



C. annulatella. July 7th, sunset, rushy ditches near Patchway; not rare. 



C. Binderella. July 7th, same time and place as annulatella ; scarce.
