campa porcellus very scarce. Beilephila lineata, however, has been 
taken, and several SpUnx convohuli and Acherontia Atropos, as well as 
the three MacroglosscB. 
The Bomlyces are very little better represented in my list, which 
must, I think, arise partly from the extreme difficnlty of collectmg 
much by means of light. I have little doubt that several more species 
in this -roup and the Pseudo-Bombyces might be obtained at gas-lamps, 
if ever the place should have the good fortune to be thus illuminated. 
or by more careful working for the larv^. The proportion is a httle 
oyer a half, being 46 species. The Lithosi^ are fairly represented by 
nine species, quadra and complana being found at Woolmer Forest 
where also Limacodes testudo occurs. Endromis versicolor I have cer. 
tainly seen flying in the middle of April, although I never took it ; am 
Nola strigula has been found on oak. Anthrocera trifUii is abundan 
in marshy pastures, while, strange to ^^j,filipendul<e is hardly to b« 
found in the neighbourhood; and Liparis salicis and Nola oucullahs ar. 
equally rare. All the HepialidcB occur, including the more abundantl; 
northern 2;eZ^e^« and its variety corwMs. 
The Geometr<B are well represented by 175 species, nearly two 
thirds of the list, several entire genera being found-&7..m, Tephrosu 
Ephyra and RH^ernia, for instance. Of the genus Eupithecia 30 specie 
have been met with, irriguata and fraxinata being the best ; but, oddl 
enough, centaureata is one of the scarcest, for until this season, whe 
one specimen occurred, it seemed to be entirely absent. Epw^ 
advenaria and Emmelesia alclemllata are plentiful in the woods, ar 
Fericalliasyringaria not scarce; and of better .^ede.Selema lu.ar^ 
and illustraria, Eurymene dololraria, Ennomos erosaria, Chora glahran 
BoarmiaaUetaria^ne. consortaria, Ephyra orhicularia, Aczdaha stran 
nata and immutata, Lohophora sexalata and viretata, and Gamptogram 
jiuviata, may all be met with occasionally. 
The Brepar^uU are represented by 4 species-two-thirds of tl 
list, and the Pseudo-Bomlyces by lO-about one-third. Of these t, 
best are Notodonta carmelita, trepida, dictceoides and dodonea, all scare 
To the Drepancs I believe unguicula ought to be added, and 
feel sure that I have seen it flying about beeches, but could never ^ 
at it. Notodonta dictca and dromedarius have not been found, bul 
cannot believe them to be entirely absent. 
The NoctucB are very unequally represented, owing to the abi 
dance of woods and the almost total absence ^^^'^^ ^^^^f^l 
The number of species found is 160-about one-half the entire 1« 
and of these the whole of the first family, the Noctuo-Bomhycid^^i
