inuer margin, and which we meet with among the umbelliferae ; the pale 

 ochreous Laverna epilobiella, whose larvae feeds on the tops of Epilobium 

 hirsutum ; the black-bordered orange-winged Chrysoclista linneella, on lime 

 trees ; Elachista kilmunella, which occurs among car ex in some places ; the 

 dark grey E. nigrella, the larva of which feeds in the leaves of Boa trivialis, 

 the grey E. Bedellella, which mines narrow leaved oat-grass (Avena pratensis) 

 in July and April; E. subnigrella, a dingy grey moth whose larvae mines the 

 leaves of Bromus erectus in April and July ; the greyish ochrous E. megerlella 

 having a yellow fascia, and in its larva state mining the leaves of Brachypo- 

 dium and Bromus ; the whitish E, cerusella, occuring among reeds ; and the 

 greyish E. biatomella, which mines the leaves of Carex glauca in spring and 

 summer. All these moths have slender filiform labial palpi. 



Nearly all the members of the genus Lithocotletis occur in August, but 

 as a full account of these little moths was given in a former volume of the 

 Young Naturalist, it is unnecessary to say more about them. Besides these, 

 several other species also occur, which I am compelled to omit.
