REPORTS. 



defoliaria was taken at light on November 8th. This is the 

 second Guernsey example which has been met with. Mr. 

 Lowe took it once before, as recorded in the Transactions 

 twenty years ago. Two species of Micro-Lepidovtera^ new to 

 our list, have also been captured by Mr. Lowe ; they are 

 Yponomeuta coynatellus, Hb., on August 26th, and Depressaria 

 subprojnnquella^ Stt., on August 30th. 



Sphinx convolvnli^ usually so abundant, has again been 

 scarce. I only know of the capture of one specimen, which 

 was taken at the top of George Koad. Mr. E. D. Marquand 

 has very industriously collected the Guernsey Hemiptera- 

 Hcteroptera and Hemiptera-Homoptera during the present 

 year, and has added twenty-one species to the list. A large 

 and very beautiful fly was captured on a skylight window in 

 my workshop in the Bordage. It has been identified by the 

 Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, F.E.S., as Volucel/a Zonaria, Botha, 

 a species which does not occur in Great Britain. Three 

 species of Fleas, taken on the new Guernsey Vole (Microtus 

 sarnius) by Mr. R. H. Bunting, of the British Museum, and 

 kindly given by him to Mr. Marquand, were sent to the Hon. 

 Charles Rothschild, at the Tring Museum, for identification. 

 They have been returned as Hystriclwpsyalla talpce, Curt, 

 (the Mole Flea), Ctenophthalum pentacanthus. Roths., and C. 

 agyrtcs, Hellier. 



Specimens of Cynips calicis, Bury, were gathered in 

 Guernsey this season. This gall is known on the Continent 

 as the " Knopper Gall." It is described and figured in Dr. 

 Edward T. Connold's recent work on British Oak Galls, from 

 Jersey specimens. It has not hitherto been discovered in 

 Great Britain. 



Mr. E. A. Butler, B.A., B.Sc, has kindly given me the 

 names of three species of Coleoptera and one Hemipteron cap- 

 tured by himself in Jersey. These have not before been 

 recorded for that island. 



I have much pleasure in acknowledging the kind assist- 

 ance rendered in identifying many of the species by Mr. 

 Edward A. Butler, B.A., B.Sc, F.E.S. ; Mr. Edward Saunders, 

 F.R.S., F.E.S., &c.j Mr. G. C. Champion, F.Z.S., &c; Rev. 

 E. N. Bloomfield, M.A., F.E.S. ; Hon. Charles Rothschild, 

 M.A., F.L.S. ; and Mr. Claude Morley, F.E.S.
