to be found, with the exception of Ceropacha ocularis ; while on the 
other hand, of the 30 species of Leucanidce, I have met with but 6,-5 
Leucanice and 1 Nonagria. 
The NoctuidcB are well represented for an inland place by 28 species, 
of which Agrotis saucia and agathina, and mctua ditrapezium, are the 
best. It is worthy of remark that Noctua riohi and augur, and Agrotis 
ugrica,is seem to be decidedly scarce; also that ITadem oleracea w3l3 
mpposed to be entirely absent until last July, when, Hke Eupithecia 
^entaureata, one specimen occurred. 
The GosmidcB, with the exception, of course, of trapezina, are absent 
)r unaccountably scarce, the only other species found being affinis, and 
;hat very rarely. This, with the absence of diffinis, is doubtless owing 
;o the scarcity of elms, but the Tethece and other species might have 
jeen expected in a country so abounding with sallow. Of the better 
ipecies occurring in other groups may be noticedi Acronycta alni, Neuria 
■aponari<s, Caradrina alsines, Iceniocampa leucographa and miniosa, Dasy- 
^ampa ruhiginea, Roporina croceago, Dianthcecia conspersa, Radena con- 
igua and genistce, Cucullia lychnitis, asteris, and chanomillce, HeliotUs 
narginata o^nApeltigera, and Stilbia anomala. 
The Deltoides are well represented by 11 species of the 14 in the 
ist, and conspicuous among them is my favourite, Madopa salicalis, for 
srhich I worked hard, year after year, with more or less success. Both 
^ypenodes occur in damp woods, and Schrankia turfosalis in bogs on 
^oolmer Forest, where also the single representative of the next 
iamily, Aventia Jlexula, is found. 
In contrast to the Deltoides, the Pyralides are very poorly repre- 
ented, half the list-36-being aU that I have met with, and among 
hese IS not a single scarce species, while several that are usually most 
bundantare decidedly uncommon here: Hydrocampa lemnalis, Botys 
erticalis and urticalis and Mulea samlucalis, for instance. The best 
re Pyralis glaucinalis, Pyrausta octomaculalis, Pionea stramentalis and 
3otys lancealis, all scarce ; Botys pandalis rather common in the woods ; 
^udorea resinalis and basistrigalis. 
Of the Orambites only 28 species have been noticed, being 
ut three-eighths of the list, and of these 16 belong to the genus 
h-avibus, which is therefore well represented, falsellus, dumetellus, 
iipellus, hamellus, latistrim, uliginosellus, and selasellus being of the 
umber. Of the remainder of the group the best noticed were Crypto- 
labes Instriga, Phycis abietella, and Oncocera ahcnella ; but possibly 
lore might be taken by means of light.
