butterfly as Vanessa antiopa (The Camber well Beauty). A 

 specimen in fairly good condition was taken at the Vrangue 

 on September 14tli by Mr. Thompson, and is now in the 

 possession of Mr. Hargreaves, who kindly lent it for exhibi- 

 tion to the members of this Society. This is the first record 

 of its occurrence in Guernsey. One was taken in Jersey 

 many years ago and recorded by Mr. F. G. Piquet in The 

 Entomologist for 1873. 



Colias edusa (the Clouded Yellow Butterfly), which has 

 been very scarce in England this year, was rather common in 

 fields near Cobo and Grande Rocque during August. Vanessa 

 urtkce (the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly) has been exception- 

 ally abundant, and one was seen on the wing as early as Jan. 11. 



A fine living specimen of Chcerocampa. celerio (the Silver- 

 striped Hawk Moth ) was brought to me on September 30th. 

 It was found at the back of Mr. Cluett's baker's shop in the 

 Bordage and was in splendid condition. Sphinx convolmdi 

 (the Convolvulus Hawk Moth; and Acherontia, atropos (the 

 Death's Head HaAvk Moth), have been rather scarce. Peronia 

 favillaceana, a Tortrix Moth new to our list, was taken by the 

 Rev. F. E. LoAve, F.E.S., on October 13th. I took specimens 

 of Gracilaria sijringeUa and Dicrorampha plumbana in the 

 Talbots Valley on May 30th ; both these species belong to 

 the Micro- Lepidopt era and are additions to our list. 



Gnathocerus cornutus^ a curious little beetle new to the 

 list, was found by Mr. E. D. Marquand baked in a piece of 

 bread which came from one of the baker's shops in town. A 

 species of Hemiptera^ Orthotylus concolor^ was accidentally 

 omitted from the Sark list published last year. It was taken 

 by Mr. J. E. ]Mason, of Lincoln, during August, 1891, and 

 recorded in The Entomologist'' s Monthly Magazine for Sept., 

 1898. Another Hemipteron, Salda cocksii, new to the Guern- 

 sey list, Avas taken by myself near Ivy Castle on May 20th ; 

 it has already been recorded for Alderney. 



A specimen of the Guernsey Caddis Fly, Philopotamus 

 i/isnlai'is, in the perfect state was taken by Mrs. E. D. 

 Marquand at Saints' Bay on January 11th. This is a very 

 early emergence from the pupa ; I have never seen it on the 

 wing before March. Eleven species of Ichneumonidce and one 

 Braconid have been added to the Guernsey list. These were 

 kindly examined and named by Mr. Claude Morley, F.E.S., 

 who is now writing the third volume of his valuable work on 

 the British species. 



On May 30th I captured a number of Hemerohiidce 

 (Lacewing Flies) in lanes near the King's Mills ; these com-
