 head, Cawston, &c. I have taken it in Mile-end lane, near Norwich.

 by Mr. Sayer, near Cawston by the Eev. T. H. Marsh. 



E. erosaria. Rather rare, I have taken it while at rest on the trunks of 

 elm trees, in Chapel Field, in 1862 and 1864. The Rev. T. H. Marsh has 

 obtained it near Cawston. 



E. angularia. Rather rare, I obtained one example from the trmik of 

 an elm in Chapel Field, in 1862.

 feeding on elm near my own residence in 1863. The Rev. T. H. Marsh also 

 records it near Cawston.

A. hetularia, Common, bred. • 

 Hemeropliila ahruptaria. Generally distributed and not common ; I 



have taken this beautiful insect while at rest on the trunks of trees, old 

 walls, &c. j of the former they generally prefer the elm, and doubtless many 

 a young collector passes without detecting them, as they sit with outspread 

 wings on a part of the trunk where perhaps the bark has been broken off, 

 and so closely do they resemble it in colour, that I have often been deceived 

 myself until a closer examination.
