Except Peroneae and Sarrothripus, which in some seasons abound 

 in old hawthorn trees, but few Tortrices of note have been taken here. 

 Among the Crambidae, C. silvellus is, I think, the only rarity ; and 

 the Tineidae have almost entirely escaped notice : the reason doubt- 

 less being that collectors have been too much engaged with the larger 

 moths to attend to the smaller ones. Yet in such a fine and wide 

 locality, there must be many fine Tortrices and Tineae to reward the 

 attention of those collectors who, having recovered from the primary 

 fever of taking only large species, have subsided into the milder state 

 of Micro-Lepidopterology. Who will lead the way ?
