 issue of our Journal, the Committee have much 

 pleasure in publishing the following list of 

 Moths and Butterflies found in the Burnley dis- 

 trict — ^that is to say, within a six-miles radius 

 of the Burnley Town Hall. It has been care- 

 fully compiled by Mr. W. G. Clutten and Mr. 

 Albert Wright, and will be found a reliable 

 guide to those interested in local Macro-Lepi- 

 doptera. Both Mr. Clutten and Mr. Wright 

 have given long and careful attention to this 

 branch of Natural History, and the Committee 

 have full confidence in submitting their list. 



Tlie number of British Butterflies is 65. The 

 number found in the Burnley district is 10. The 

 number of British Moths is about 600. The 

 number found in our district is 159.

 '"scarce," and the letter R "rare."
