6-1 NATUEAL MSXOEY SOCIETY OF DUBLIN.

 larvae of this insect among the Myrica Gale on the bogs at 

 Killarney.

 Eriogasta Lanestris. — Not scarce. 

 Bombyx JSTeustria. — Common. 



„ Castrensis? — Dr. Ball. I do not know any locality for this

 of B. Neustria for it, as no Irish specimen is extant. 

 ,, Rubi. — Common.

true Quercus in Ireland.

 not met with the insect myself.

Seventy species only of the 108 British Nocturni appear to have yet

 tish species are absent. 



It may also be noted that all the fern insects — 



Macrogaster Arundinis,
