of tlje 7}urnley j)istrict. 
In fulfilment of the promise made in the last 
issue of our Journal, the Committee have much 
pleasure in publishing the following list of 
Moths and Butterflies found in the Burnley dis- 
trict — that is to say, within a six-miles radius 
of the Burnley Town Hall. It has been care- 
fully compiled by Mr. W. G. Clutten and Mr. 
Albert Wright, and will be found a reliable 
guide to those interested in local Macro-Lepi- 
doptera. Both Mr. Clutten and Mr. Wright 
have given long and careful attention to this 
branch of Natural History, and the Committee 
have full confidence in submitting their list. 
The number of British Butterflies is 65. The 
number found in the Burnley district is 10. The 
number of British Moths is about 600. The 
number found in our district is 159. 
By way of preface, it only need be stated that 
the letter C denotes “common," the letter S 
"scarce,” and the letter R “rare.”
