however, by their combined efforts the lepidopterists are able to

magines. 
Pieris brassicz. Rumia crategata. Emmelesia albulata. 
Pieris ne Selenia lunaria. Coremia munitata. 
Pieris nap Acronycta psi. Coremia ferrugata. 
aattinanese cardamines. Odontopera bidentata. | *Coremia propugnata. 
Chortobius pamphilus. Todis lactearia. Melanippe subtristata. 
Lyccena agestis. Strenia clathrata. Melanippe montanata. 
Lyccena alexis. Asthena candidata, Anticlea derivata. 
Procris globulariz. Cabera pusaria. Camptogramma bilineata. 
Procris statices. Fidonia atomaria. 
(* Coremia propugnata was fairly common, both at Redmire and Carperby.) 
Larve. 
Vanessa urtica. Cleora lichenaria. Cheimatobia brumata. 
Vanessa atalanta. Abraxas grossularia 
For the Coleoptera, Mr. Walter F. Baker reports that in the 
morning the vegetation was so very wet that it rendered ‘sweeping,’ 
which should have been the coleopterists’ best aid, of but little 
use ; but by noon the heat of the sun began to improve the state of 
things, and captures became more numerous, the large growth of 
nettles on the road leading up to the hotel receiving a fair share 
of attention and producing a good quantity of phytophagous beetles, 
including the various species of Phyllobius, Otiorhynchus, and Apion 
in the greatest abundance, whilst Ceuthorrhynchus assimilis and 
C. contractus (two species which, from their peculiar little habits, 
have well earned the name of ‘Happy Jack,’ by which they are — 
commonly known in some parts of the county) were, as usual, 
common. Returning through the village and going along by the 
side of the river, we came across the traces of some herbivorous © 
animals, and soon several “ee of Aphodius and Cercyon were — 
added to the list, and a fine specimen of Geotrupes vernalis, one of 
the a beetles.’ The very peculiar-looking larva of 
Sp m scarabaoide s was also obtained here. Passing up the 
- slope in panes of Mr. Thomas Bradley’s house, the steep bank-sides, — se 
well-wooded and covered with long vegetation as they were, looked ac : 
a likely place for the sweeping-net, and a very satisfactory quarter of 
an hour was spent there, the captures including Corymbites pectini- on 
. cornis, ¢. ve steers Athoiis hemorrhoidalis, Phadon cochlearia, and
