"whips off his clothes and dashes

llaughing and even roaring with

'O the joys of such a bath, never 
ito be forgotten ! He turns a lin-

"were not, however, my only haunt. 
,'A small stream empties itself into 
'.the harbour at Looe, which at 
Ihigh tide becomes an arm of the 
••sea, and is clothed on both sides 
■;with wood, chiefly oak, for two or 
l three miles from its mouth. My 
lleisure time was pretty equally 
(divided between these woods and 
•the cliffs, as the list I send will 
sshow. The nomenclature is 
IDoubleday’s for the Macro-Lepi- 
idoptera and the Tortricina, 
1 Wood’s for the Crambina, and 
fStainton’s for the Tineina. The 
(date, wherever given, refers to the 
t first capture of that species ; and 
tthose (captures without a date were 
.all between the last week in June 
.and the first in August. The first 
■specimen of 'IvochiHuvi Jchtieu- 
^moni forme was found on a bank 
(dose to the sea where the coast 
(was low : it had not long emerged 
;from the pupa-case, which was 
Hying beside it. I afterwards took 
I two on the wing among some 
'Neuropterous insects _ similarly 
(coloured, from which it was very 
difficult to distinguish them. 
Arctia Villica was flying m the 
Iheat of the day on the clifis, and 
a glorious sight it was to me, who 
( gaw it for the first lime. ^ i he 
(capture of Stauropus Fagi 
I been already recorded m the In- 
I telligencer.’ I tried for Diphtera 
Orion with sugar in the wood, 
where I took three in the daytime, 
but in vain. Indeed, I was alto-' 
gether disappointed in the sugar, 
taking nothing by it but T. Baits, 
P. Herbida, H. Tlialassina, and 
other common things. Stenia 
Punctalis and Asopia Flammealis 
I found frequently on the cliffs 
here, and also near the Logan 
Stone and the Land’s End, where 
I also met with P. ^gon and A. 
Selene, the former confined to 
about half an acre of heath near 
the sea. BoUjs Lancealis was not 
uncommon in the grassy outskirts 
of the same wood, in the inner 
tracts of which I took Hypena 
Crassalis and Hypenodes Albistri- 
galis in tolerable plenty. I was 
struck with the beautiful dark 
varieties of A. Prunaria, (all 
males, the females being generally 
very light, some with a darker 
border) ; and B. Repandaria with 
the black fascia was about as com- 
mon as the paler variety. E. So- 
brinaria (?) was taken on the gra- 
nite rocks towards the Land’s 
End. The fewness of the Tortri- 
ces and Tinece in the woods, com- 
pared with those of Worcester- 
shire, was very noticeable. Of 
larvae I took very few ; but I think 
I have about a dozen Cuctdlia 
Scrophuluria pupae from larvae 
taken on the Water Betony : they 
were both blacker and yellower 
than Verbasci, of which I also 
found several on the Mullein. 
One day I found two yellow Bom- 
byx cocoons, evidently male and 
female, linked together and hang- 
ing on a reed near the sea. My 
expectations were raised high ; but 
they turned out to be only C. 
Neustria. I also took the larva 
of L. Monacha, and, I believe,
