236 THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



Boarmia 



repandata. Only one specimen taken, bred from pupa 

 found under a stone ; it is, without exception, the dark- 

 est and the handsomest specimen I ever saw of this 

 variable species. 

 Pseudopterpna 



cyniaria. 

 Ephyra 



tulinearia. 

 Acidalia 



promutata. 



subsericiata. 



aversata. 

 Cabera 



Pusaria. 

 Macaria 



liturata. 

 Strenia 



clathrata. 

 Numerea 



pulveraria. Suffused smoky forms. 

 Fidonia

 saw. 



Abraxes 



grossulariata. Ordinary forms only. 

 Hybernia

 Larentia

multistrigata. 



caesiata 



salicata. This was on the sand hills just above tide mark, 

 and was double-brooded ; the first brood darker than 

 the second, and less silvery steel colour. Mr. Curzon 

 sent me eggs, the larvae from which I am now feed- 

 ing upon growing white ladies bedstraw, the natural 

 food Salicata lives upon ; on the Irish sand hills, County 

 Derry, it is the yellow gale G. venim.
