The Micro.Lepidoptera of this place have been almost entirely neglected ■ 
followmg is a list of all that I took in nameable condition :- 
ToHrix riheana, xylosteana, and unifasciana, with a very distinct fascia • Peroi 
favzllaceana (Mr. N.) ; P.mixtana, hastiana and maccana, allbrod from larv^ fo. 
on sallow, Myrica gale, &c. ; ferrugana just coming out as I left. Teras cauda

Plutella xylostella. Depressaria costosella, atomella, umhellella, arenella ai

The larvffi were hatched on July 12th and 13th, and, after a httle hesitation,
