a dark brown unicolorous $ of Odonestis potataria^ and have a few 
larvae, from ova laid by her, now feeding. Cleora liclmiaria^ Agrotis 
ripce. and Apa77iea ophiogra77i77ia are, as far as I know, new to the Deal 
list. I also collected a number of pupae of OdoTitia deTitalis^ and have 
bred a long series. In all, excluding Tine^, I noticed 245 species of 
lepidoptera during the time of my stay. — C. Fenn, Eversden House,

St. Annds-07i-Sea . — On the few favourable days we had at the end of 
April we did fairly well on the sallows, taking Tce7iioca77ipa gracilis (very 
plentifully), T. gothica, T. iTistabilis^ T. rubricosa and T. opwia. A few 
hybernated specimens were also to be seen, Caloca77ipa exoleta^ Agrotis 
suffusa, etc. From that time until this month the wind kept pretty well 
in the east, when moths came freely to sugar. Vi77iinia riwiicis seems 
the common moth this season, but unfortunately I was too late for it, 
and did not get many good specimens. I also took HadcTia adusta, H. 
deTithia., H. pisi, Cuspidia psi, Leucania cor7wia., MiaTia strigilis, Ilf. 
fasciu7icula., Gra77i77iesia trilmea., Ma77iestra albicolo7i., M. brassicce^ 
Apa77?eii ge77ii7ia, Heliothis 77iargmatus ( 2 ), Noctua f estiva, N. plecta, A. 
basili/iea, Agrotis excla77iationis, Ma77iestra sordida, Euplexia lucipara, 
Rusma tc7iebrosa, Agrotis corticea, etc., and some worn T. stabilis and 
T. gothica on June 17 th. I did not get M. strigilis until June 17 th, nor 
M. fasciu7icula until June 26 th; but I missed three days sugaring before 
the latter date as the wind was so high. On that date moths simply 
swarmed to sugar. It was a very close hot day, with a good deal of 
thunder and much rain. With respect to M. strigilis 2 cad M.fasciu7icula, 
I noticed paiticularly that the former is invariably the larger moth, here 
at any rate. Of course the two overlap as it were, but, take them all 
through, strigilis is far larger, and this is especially noticeable on the 
sugar, when you see ten or twelve of each sort together. The 26 th was 
certainly one of the best nights I ever recollect for quantity, but I did 
not get anything in particular except a few Ma77ieAra albicolon and one 
beautiful Agrotis corticea, a very dark velvety looking moth, with the 
fringe and tip of the upper wing very light and shiny. I think I made 
rather a find on Saturday : I was exploring round our cricket field with
