1790 Insects. 



Orthosia lunosa. Thirty-eight, on ivy bloom and at sugar. 



Ortkosia litura. On ivy bloom and at sugar. 



Xanthia Aurago and Croceago. On ivy bloom and at sugar. 



Cledeobia albistrigalis. On ivy bloom and at sugar. 



I have purposely omitted from the foregoing list a number of other captures of the 

 autumnal moths which are taken in most localities. Some of them swarmed on the 

 sugar, notwithstanding the dry weather and north-easterly wind which prevailed most 

 of the time. 



Agrotis saucia and Polia occulta were taken by an entomological friend in an 

 orchard within a hundred yards of my residence. 



The occurrence of so many of the rarer of our Lepidopterous insects in tolerable 

 numbers will long mark the past year as the most proline for the entomologist we 

 have had for a long time. — Fredk. Grant; 15, Sussex Place, Kensington New Town.
