List of Forms of Lepidoptera New to 

 Science Collected by Mr. & Mrs. Barns. 



By G. Talbot. 



Descriptions of these insects and figures of most of them are published 

 in " The Bulletin of The Hill Museum," Part I, 1921, and the types are in 

 the collection of J. J. Joicey, Esq. A certain number of moths remain to 

 be worked out, and it is probable that a few other novelties will be 

 established. 



The Noctuidae were worked out by Miss A. E. Prout, F.E.S., and the 

 Geometridae by Mr. L. B. Prout, F.E.S.
