LTIie above lists, coming from an excellent botanist who has made a 
speciality of water plants, are very valuable ; that of the genus Potaviojeton 
suj)crsedes the list already published in our ‘ Transactions’ (vol. ii. j). 229) ; 
and of Characea; our Society has never previously published any list at

My larva) of Bomhyx ruin went through their hybernation very 
successfully in largo perforated metd vessels containing growing 
young Heather, whicli I dug up in the form of large turves.'’ More 
than ninety-eight Rahi emerged as !Moths during the months of 
June and July, besides a pair of E. vusnda several Unanimis 
Porphyrea, Lanestriif, &c., which were in the same vessels. These 
vessels were kept out of doors during the whole winter, exposed to 
the weather, with only stout canvas for coverings. 
In June I obtained nine larvrn of Ajjr/fwra iris in Foxley AVood 
by beating tall bushes of Salix cajjrea. By the 30 th of June all 
had pupated, and by tlie IGth of July all had emerged from thmr 
pupa cases. Seven were females, of large size.
