saved.” Except for a casual specimen taken in my house in 
1898 and another one also found indoors on the 2nd July, 1905, 
I do not appear to have met with this species in any numbers 
until July, 1906. I was then staying in Swanage, and whilst 
there noticed the moths quite commonly buzzing up and 
down the plate-glass window of a greengrocer’s shop ; evi- 
denly the larvae had escaped from apples brought to the shop 
during the previous autumn, had pupated in some of the 
chinks of the woodwork, and were emerging freely during the 
first 3 weeks of July. The shopkeeper obligingly allowed me 
to box a few specimens on the 3rd and 9th July. 
In 1908 I captured single specimens on the 24th and 31st 
May, and 14th June. 
I netted a specimen on the 13th June, and found another 
at rest on the window of the apple store-room both on the 2nd 
and I2th July, 1909. 
In 1910 specimens were captured on 21st and 27th May, 
7th, 15th and 24th June, and 2nd, 5th and 12th July. I reared 
a specimen on 8th June from a larva found the previous 
autumn. 
In the very fine and hot season of 1911 I found a specimen 
in the house on the 27th May, and captured others in my garden 
on the 4th, nth, 20th and 24th June, and the 8th, 14th, and 
23rd July. The following year, 1912, was just the opposite — 
very wet and cold — but specimens were taken in my garden 
on the 9th and nth May, 30th June, and 8th July. 
In 1913 I found a specimen in my house on 30th May, 
hve specimens on the 17th June, another on the i8th, two on 
the 2ist, and one on the 24th of the same month. I found 
single specimens on the store-room window on the 7th, 8th, 
nth, I2th and 13th July. 
In 1914, the first specimen appeared in my store-room on 
the 8th May, others on the 14th and 26th May, the 2nd, 7th 
and 8th June. In 1915, two specimens emerged on the 6th 
June, four on the 13th June, three on the 15th, two on the i6th, 
three on the 17th, three on the 19th, three on the 22nd, four on 
the 27th, four on the 2nd July, three on the 4th, one on the 
7th, and one on my return from North Devon on the 14th 
August.
