Nocturnal Macro-Lepidoptera. 



35. H. Lupulinus (Common Swift), G. Abundant. 



36. Cossus Ligniperda (Goat Moth), G. Very common. 



37. Porthesia Chrysorrhcea (The Brown Tail), G. Not 

 common. 



38. P. Similis (Yellow Tail), G., A. and S. Very common. 



39. Dasychira Fascelina (The Dark Tussock), G. I have 

 found the larvae feeding on furze flowers on the cliffs. 



40. D. Pudibunda (Pale Tussock), G. Common. 



41. Bombyx Neustria (The Lackey), H. I have never 

 seen this insect in Guernsey, but on visiting Herm on Saturday 

 June 15th, of this year (1889), I found five of the full grown 

 larvae feeding on the leaves of blackberry. It must be very 

 common there, as I saw many cast skins, and old webs of the 

 larvae on the bushes in different parts of the island. 



42. Bombyx Quercus (Oak egger), G. and S. Common. 



43. Bombyx Trifolii (Grass egger), G., A. and S. The 

 larvae are found commonly in Guernsey and Sark all round the 

 coast, feeding on various grasses and clover, and they are also 

 often found eating the flowers of the furze. I- received more 

 than a hundred full-grown larvae from Alderney, in August, 

 1871, and on June 30th, 1873, found more than fifty in two 

 hours, near Fort Touraille in that island. 



44. Odonestis Potatoria (The Drinker), G. Not common. 



45. Lasiocampa Quercifolia (The Lappet), G. Not 

 common. 



46. Saturnia Pavonia (The Emperor moth), G. and S. 

 Commoner in Sark than in Guernsey. All the larvae I have 

 found were feeding on bramble. 



47. Cilix Glaucata (The Chinese character), G. and S. 

 Common. 



48. Dicranura Vinula (Puss Moth), G. Mrs. Boley once 

 found the larvae on willow.

 I have taken one specimen only. It has also been taken by the
