THE YOUNG 



NATURALIST. 



Lithocolletis, so that we may give their 

 distribution in Britain. 



Dr. J. W. Ellis has our thanks for several 

 interesting species of Br achy elytra, which 

 we hope to figure in due course.

During the early part of the summer 

 Lepidoptera were fairly plentiful here, 

 but in August and September there were 

 hardly any of the Diurni to be seen, and 

 both Geometrce and Noctuce were very scarce 

 indeed. 



We tried sugaring several times, at in- 

 tervals, through the spring and summer, 

 but with the exception of one specimen of 

 A. nigricans, we took absolutely nothing.
