thouijli, I think I have taken others. I may say that the greater- 
nmnber of the moUusca seem to prefer the outcrop of the strata, particularly the- 
marl shale. From my knowledge of the district, I think it probable that the 
following ^^ ill be met with, though, in the few visits I have paid to the glen, I have- 
not taken them : — Pupa anglica^ Vertigo siibstiiata, V. pusilla^ Zonites nitidus, 
Balea and Helix aculeata. All these I have taken within a couple of miles, and 
tiiink that probably they will also occur at Kilton. 
iMr. T. A.- Lofthouse w rites : — The Kilton Woods should prove good collecting 
grounds for conchologists. Among the species recorded for the district are : — 
L. fnaxijntis, L. marginalus, C. Licvis, V, pelliicida^ H. piiya, H. crystalliua2LX\^ 
fulvtty H. aculeata^ pygmoea, fmca, gnuiulata^ arbtistoriim^ (H. lamella/a 
should occur), B. obsciirus^ C. laminala, A. iridens, C. minimus, etc. There- 
appear to be no records for freshwater shells. 
ENTOMOLOGY. — The Entomological Section will be officially represented. 
Lepidoptera. — Mr. W. Sachse writes : — The following is a list of Lepidoptera 
I liave taken in Kilton Woods about 8tli July, 1903 : Pieris biassiar, P. lapie^ 
P. )iap/, I'anessa ttrticcc^ Epitiephele janira^ E. hyperavthus (very local),. 
Coownymplia pamphilus, Lycaena icams, Hepialus hiwmli, H. lupuliiins, 
H. hectus, Acronycta ritmicis, Leucania lithar^yria, L. comvia, L. pallenSy 
L. impura, Xylophasia lithoxylea^ X. moiioglyplia, Miana fasciuniula, Plusia 
interrogationis^ Zanclognatha grisealis, Rumia luteolaia, Amphidasys betularia, 
A. dotibledayaria, Boarmia repandatUy lodis laciearia, Aslhena luteaia^ A. 
laiididata^ A. sylvata, A. blomeri, Eupistena obliterata, Acidalia aversata^ 
A. fumata, Cabera pusaria, Macaria lituraia, Bupahis piviaria, Abraxar 
gfossu/ariafa, A. sylvata ( ttbnata Lomaspilis jnarginata^ Larentia didymata^ 
S. viridaria, Emmelesia affinilata, Melaiithia albiciUaia, M. ocellata, Melanippe- 
7nontanata, M. social a. There should also occur other specimens, but the fore- 
going is a list of things actually taken about the time of the excursion. The names 
given are according to the "Entomologist List.'' 
Mr. T. A. Lofthouse writes : — Kilton Woods, near Loftus, are well worth a 
visit from entomologists. These Woods have been worked a little (practically day 
collecting only) for some years by Cleveland lepidopterists, to whom it has proved' 
to be one of the most satisfactory collecting grounds in the Cleveland district X- 
from the varied character of the ground many species are likely that have not 
hitherto been recorded, and the ground should prove rich in " micros " which have 
not been worked, in this district. Among the Butterfhes the most notable species 
that have been taken are Thecla W — albuf/i, and jE". hyperanihiis. E. /ithonush^.^ 
1>een taken in the district, -and some of the Erifillaries should certainly occur. Of 
the moths that have occurred in the district, most of which should be in evidence 
at the time of the meeting, are .V. mendica, C. glaucata, H. relleda and hectus^ 
P. popiili (larvrc), 7\ deresa, G. gemindy unanimis, C. viminalis^ A. prasina 
and nebidosa, H. /enebrata, E. prosapiaria^ H. pennaria (larva )^ L. lactearia, 
A. liiteata, candidala, sylvata, and blomeri, E. obliterata, V. cambricay 
A. dimidiata, bisetata^ remutata, and fumata, H. litiirata, N. pnlveraiia^ 
B. piniaria. G. sylvata (common some seasons), L. marginata, L. ccesitata^ 
olivata, and 7'iridaria, O. affinitata alchemillala, and decoloata, H. trifasciata, 
and sordidata (dark), M. bicolotata^ ocellata, and albicillata, C. designata^ 
C. corylata, silaceata, sitffitmata, populata, and doiata, G. plagiaia, Hy. sequella^ etc.
