Captures in Westmorland. — Owing 
to the wet weather and the season 
being now advanced, I have not 
much to report in the way of 
captures. This is my final report 
for the season. I shall not be here 
more than a week from this date, 
so I hope all my correspondents will 
direct to me at Preston, or I shall 
have double postage going on 
against me. 
The season has been a very poor 
one, on the whole, for insect life, 
still, by dint of continuous labour, 
I have set 5.800 specimens of 
Lepidoptera, and a good many Cole- 
optera, Phryganece, Uiptera, Eemip- 
tera, &c., filled two bottles with 
Arachnida, blown over 1,000 birds’ 
eggs, and shot and skinned a few 
dozen birds, to say nothing about 
caterpillars and correspondence. The 
above gives an idea of how much 
rest and ease I have had. I in- 
tended to take a summer’s rest from 
toil and business, and it has been 
the hardest I have had for many a 
year, but there has been the pleasure 
as well. I should have been in pain 
if I had been doomed to loiter about 
some fashionable watering place. I 
have a magnificent lot of insects to 
look at and supply my correspon- 
dents with during the winter. I 
have met with the following species 
lately : — 
Gonepteryx rliamni. Second brood. 
Larentia salicaria. Ditto. Very 
small compared with first brood. 
Noctua hebraica. A large bug 
trailing it away alive. 
Pcedisca occultana. 
Eicrorampha simpliciana. 
Depressaria albipunctella. Bred 
from Meadow Sweet. 
D. pulcherimella. From Juniper. 
Gelecliia ? From trunks of firs. 
Argyresthia spinella. Mountain ash. 
A . anderegiella. From apple trees. 
Zelleria insignipennella. Fir and 
yew. 
Laverna chcerophylella. 
Lyonetia clerlcella.
