the least pleasant part of our whole 
walk, and I was myself not a little 
disconcerted to find that, on arriving 
at Darenth, I had to cross a steep 
and long’ rise before I could get to 
the wood, which had been a con- 
spicuous and anxiously looked for 
object throughout my walk. Judge, 
then, my horror, when I had com- 
pleted this laborious ascent, to find 
that I had another hill as long- and 
steep, to mount a second time. A 
glass of cyder at the “Fox,” a very 
common sign in Kentish village inns, 
braced me up to the work, and at 
last I had arrived at Darenth Wood. 
But I have spun this article to such 
a length that I dare not say much 
more ; enough that the collector can 
wander about this glorious wood 
without much fear of going wrong, 
having the “ eligible villa resi- 
dences ” of Greenhithe, and the 
Thames and fertile meads of Essex 
beyond, to the north, as a guide. 
Although part of the way is by a 
field path, there can be no difficulty 
in finding it. Here I have taken 
Phtheochroa Rugosana, and found 
Argyresthiu syringella and Coripcium 
cuculipennella in plenty. Among the 
things that I remember at the 
moment to have taken in the wood 
itself, Phibalapteryx vitcdbata, Pphy m 
pen d tdaria, ■ and Antisp ila Pfeifferdla, 
may serve as an example.
