CiRC. No. 100, 



ENTOMOLOGY. — Although the district has all the appearance of being a 

 'land of promise,' it seems to have been quite neglected by entomologists. 



Lepidoptera. — Mr. William Hewett, of York, observed the following Lepi- 

 doptera in Wass Wood on the 14th of July : — Asthcna blonieri, Larcniia didyrnata, 

 Aplecla nelmhsa, Hepialiis hectiis^ Cabcra piisaria, C. exantJieinaria. ^icronyda 

 rtwiicis, piipre of Abraxas gTosstilm-iata, also, in the immediate neighbourliood, 

 Larentia pcclinitaria, Ulacaria l/fiirata, L. c<vsiata^ and Chortohius pa^npJiihis. 

 Messrs. J. and W. Hawkins, of York, whilst in the neighbourhood about ten 

 days later obtained larvce of Vanessa cardui, V. aiala/ifa, and V. iirticiC, also 

 Eriogaster laiicstris. From the little Mr. Ilewett saw of the district he considers 

 it likely to be a good one, both entomologically and ornithologically. 



Coleoptera. — Strangalia an/iala is common in similar woods at Sessa)- near 

 Pilmoor Junction. 



CONCHOLOGY.— Conchologically this district seems to be absolutely un- 

 known, but likely to be tolerably productive. 



VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The district is well wooded and diversi- 

 fied in character, and is likely to be most productive in Birds and Mammals, although 

 the only actual records appear to be Ringdove, Jay, and Mole. 



AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.— The Rev. T A. Burge will kindly 

 place his dark-room at Ampleforth College at the disposal of Photographers. 



MICRO-ZOOLOGY AND MICRO-BOTANY.— There appears, as 

 usual, to be no information available on these subjects.
