During the present year many important additions have 

 been made to the recorded Insect Fauna of Guernsey. A 

 fine specimen of Plusia fcstaccB^ the Gold spot moth, Avas taken

 Lejndoptera haA^e to be added to the list, viz. ; Semasia spiniaiui 

 and S. Jaiithuiaiia. One specimen only of Lampides hoetica 

 (the Long-tailed Blue Butterfly) has been seen, and no larvae 

 have been found on its food plant during the year. Sphinx 

 convolvuli (the Convolvulus HaAvk Moth), usually so abundant 

 in the autumn, has been very scarce, and I have not heard of 

 a single capture of Aclierontiu atropos (the Death's Head 

 Moth).

 Aculeate Hyjueiioptcrd (Bees, Wasps, &c.) by Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand, A.L.S., Avho devoted a great deal of time and 

 energy to their capture from April to August. The Avhole of 

 the collection thus made Avas submitted to Mr. EdAvard 

 Saunders, F.R.S., &c., for examination, Avith the result that
