as well as on Achill. Melanvppe hastata is numerous at Glendarary on Achill, 

 and occurs also at Doo Lough and at Pontoon. On the margins of Boonah 

 Lough below Louisburgh Acentropus niveus was taken in sparing numbers, a 

 very local species, whose caterpillar feeds under water. And among the 

 Pyralidae the handsome but local Ennychia octomaculata was in fair numbers 

 at Mulranny, where I secured a good series; it also occurs on Achill. 



The few Microlepidoptera of any interest have been already alluded to. 

 For the identification of them I am indebted to Mr. Bower, of Chisel- 

 hurst, and Mr. Durant, of the British Museum. But my chief thanks are due 

 to Mr. Greer and Mr. Bonaparte Wyse, whose work in the field both at night 

 and in the day added so greatly to the hard-earned success that I have to 

 record. Aid was also given by Bev. W. F. Johnson, Mr. P. E. Grimshaw, and 

 others.
