whose case cons-sts of an old hollow piece of stem, in which it cann 
round with the greatest ease, and use the hind end of its case aiili 
front. As no Calluna grows here, the larva, if that be its priB)i) 
food, must also eat other plants. In order to see to what kind of in 
it would betake itself, I watched it whilst it was crawling about oi h 
ground amongst the plants and their fragments ; it moved with a;a 
ried, tremulous, almost nervous motion of the thin anterior portic{ 
the body. But it did not appear to be seeking any nourishm; 
so I could form no conclusion as to its food plant, and I allowed i

Before sunset it became calm, but cold; hence the Lepido^ 
came out now readily, but flew dull and heavily. Not unfrequd

Three plumes occurred here ; pilosellce—not uncommon; tristis—i 
frequently ; and of ohscurus only one specimen ; they were easy to ; 
and to catch in the twilight. Amongst several Anerastia lotella w

found one worn female of Melissoblaptes lipunctanus low down amo: ;

After the sun was gone down, the insect world appeared as tho^i 
dead, and I had to beat about a good deal in order to induce anytl

Eomoeosoma nimhella, without heeding the cold air, visited the bloss*

As I returned homewards along the dry grassy border of the rr
