THE entomologist’s RECORD. 
Burnets spin up on grasses?” In the December number of The 
Entomologist for 1889, page 297, I have a note on finding empty 
cocoons of a gregarious member of the Zygcenidcz^ as well as solitary but 
empty cocoons of Bombyx quercus on rocks at Tan-y-Bwlch, North 
Wales. I had every reason, from their appearance, colour, etc., to 
suppose that the former were cocoons of Z. filipendulce^ but my surprise 
was considerable at finding them fixed to the perpendicular rock sur- 
faces about a foot or so from the ground, when plenty of rushes and 
grass stems were close at hand. It was a common occurrence to come 
across about a dozen close together — in some cases touching each 
other — but not a single cocoon could I find anywhere else. I have 
never taken anything in North Wales belonging to the genus except Z. 
filipendulcB^ which is there an abundant, but local insect. As a rule — I 
cannot remember an exception to it — the larva spins up on a stone, a 
wall, or a rock, but I have never met with collections of cocoons except 
at Tan-y-Bwlch. In Newman, page 23, the cocoon of Z. minos is said 
to be spun upon stones ; and I hear this is the habit of the insect at 
Abersoch. — J. Arkle, Chester. July 22 ud^ 1891.
