THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Flamborough Head, to which district 
my researches were confined, is entirely 
composed of chalk, covered with a rich 
brown loam, bearing good crops of corn, 
and affording fair pasture, but, except in 
one part, nearly destitute of trees. Here, 
at a point about three miles west of the 
Head, the country is crossed from sea to 
sea by the “ Danes’ Dyke,” a huge ditch 
and mound made by the Danes for their 
protection when they seized this part of 
the country. The western side of this 
mound and the ditch for two or three 
miles are planted with fir, sycamore, ash 
and wych elm, and there is a good space 
of rough ground covered with furze and 
here and there with broom. This part 
and the cliffs were my constant hunting- 
ground ; the former producing C. Li~ 
chenaria, A. Ulmaria , A. Cnicann, T. 
Semifulvetla, P. Curtisellus, D. Costosa, 
and some commoner kinds, not in the 
list: all the others came from the cliffs. 
On the whole I should not call it a rich 
locality by any means, perhaps from its 
being so swept by winds. On this 
account probably, there were but few 
butterflies; and the only Bombyces I 
saw were II. Lupulinus and L. Aurijlua. 
Sugar for the Noctuse I never tried, 
fearing to entertain the hosts of Pronubn , 
which were quite alarming, but I attended 
the ragwort regularly.
