warmest thanks of its members, and I think I may venture 

 to add of the Society as a whole. 



Certain progress has been made in the compilation of a 

 list of the flowering plants of Alderney. A serious attempt 

 will be made to complete this in 1898. Any members visiting 

 the island can render great assistance by bringing back 

 gatherings of plants, however small. 



The following papers have been contributed this year 

 by members of this section. 



" The Fungi of Guernsey," by Mr. E. D. Marquand.

REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 



Several important additions have been made to the Insect 

 Fauna of Guernsey during the past season. 



Among the Lepidoptera, the Rev. F. E. Lowe, F.E.S., 

 has been successful in rearing three rare species of the genus 

 Dianthoecia, viz., Dianthcecia nana, D. luteago and D. 

 capsophila, all feeding on Silene maritima. The two last 

 named are new to our Guernsey list. 



The variety of Dianthcecia luteago named Barretti has 

 been found in very few localities in Great Britain, and for 

 some years was believed to occur only at the Hill of Howth 

 in Ireland. It has been recently taken in Cornwall and 

 North Wales. The Guernsey specimens are much more like 

 the type of luteago as found on the Continent than the 

 English or Irish varieties. 



Dianthcecia capsophila is stated in " Newman's British 

 Moths " to occur only in Ireland and the Isle of Man.
