Nearly half the Pterophorina — 13 species — are found, the best 

 being PteropJiorus punctidactylus, Loewii, tepJiradactylus and paludum ; 

 and the little Alucita polydactyla is, of course, plentiful. 



This paper would be incomplete without a distinct notice of those 

 species usually considered to belong to northern districts, but which 

 are found on the hills and heaths of this neighbourhood, and also of 

 those that might be expected to be common here, but are comparatively 

 or absolutely rare, or even not observed at all, 



Of species, more commonly northern, found here, I may mention 

 Hepialus velleda and Abraxas ulmata, both rare ; Tortrix viburnana, Pen- 

 thina sauciana, Mixodia Schulziana, Phoxopteryx unguicana and myrtil- 

 lana, Goccy» vacciniana^ Stigmonota coniferana, Butalis incongruellay 

 Glyphipteryx Haworthana, Elachista hilmunella, and rhynchosporellaj 

 Lithocolletis irradiellay Gemiostoma Wailesella, and Pterophorus Loewii. 



There are also a few apparently wanderers from the chalk, Arge Galathea, 

 Lycoena Cory don, Argyrolepia Dubrisana, and Ghrosis tesserana. 



Of insects rare here that might reasonably be expected to be common, the 

 following are noticeable : — Argynnis Aglaia, Sesia tipuliformis, Liparis 

 salicis, Anthrocera filipenduloe, Nola cucullalis, Eupithecia centaureata, 

 Hydrcecia micacea, Noctua glareosa, augur, and rubi, Hadena oleracea, 

 Brephos parthenias, Gatocala nupta, Noenia typica, Hydrocampa lemnalisy 

 Botys verticalis and urticalis, Ebulea sambucalis, Gartella bilu7iana. Tinea 

 granella, Swammerdamia ccesiella, Acrolepia granitella, Ghauliodus cheer o- 

 phyllellus, and Lithocolletis spinolella. 



And of those conspicuous by their apparent absence I may mention, 

 Smerinthus tilice, JVemeophila plantaginis, Gastropacha quercifolia, Gortyna 

 flavago, Miana furnncida, Agrotis puta, Noctua Dahlii, Orthosia ypsilon, 

 Anthocelis lunosa, Gosmia dijffinis, Hecatera dysodea, Polia jlavocincta, 

 Hadena chenopodii, Galocampa exoleta, Habrostola triplasia, Scopula lutealis, 

 Tortrix costana, Sphaleroptera ictericana, Stigmonota regiana, Eupoecilia 

 roseana, Argyrolepia badiana, the whole of the species of the genus Gochylis 

 (except inopiana, which occurs among fleabaue). Tinea biselliella (happy 

 Haslemere !), Plutella porrectella, Gelechia fraternella, Batrachedra prcean- 

 gusta, and Gemiostoma scitella, not one of which I have ever met with in 

 either larval or perfect state.
