Ennomos angularia. One specimen seen in the Hospital, 

 Rotherham (J. Hague). Two specimens at Beverley (J. R.

Phigalia pilosaria. Very scarce in the Bradford neighbour- 

 hood owing to the increased number of houses and 

 consequent constant thinning- of the woods ; the Brad- 

 ford district is under a cloud of smoke day and night 

 (F. Booth and J. Beanland). Mr. Booth suggests that the 

 ordinary forms of species which have become melanic of 

 late years are now much less common at Bradford, and 

 instances such species as Hibernia progeynmaria , H. leuco- 

 phearia, Boarmia repandata, and Phigalia, and says of 

 these four species that a light or typical form is now rarely 

 seen.

Amphidasis prodromaria. Sheffield (Cockayne). One larva 

 taken at Raincliffe by Mr. Head, of Scarborough.

 Halliday). Only this form at Saltaire (F. Booth and J. 

 Beanland). Hull (C. Couldwell). Commoner than the typo 

 at Barnsley (A. Whittaker).
