OBSERVATIONS ON 
that I caught and bred from these trees, I never saw a light 
variety.” 
As the newspapers would say, this information is impor¬ 
tant. 
Chrysoclista Schrankella , I. B., p. 242. Mr. Scott again 
found the larva* near Renfrew, and also at Fochabers, Banff¬ 
shire. Among the specimens bred two have occurred of a 
dark variety, in which the entire central orange patch is re¬ 
placed by black (only a few orange scales being perceptible 
towards the inner margin, near the base, and immediately 
before the last costal white spot); this variety is therefore 
parallel to that of C. Linneella , and at first sight appears 
like a totally distinct species. 
Chrysocorys festaliella, I. B., p. 248. Mr. Logan in¬ 
formed me last spring that Mr. Hardy had reared this from 
raspberry leaves. 
Elachista Treitschkiella , I. B., p. 250; bred last summer 
by Mr. Boyd, Mr. Douglas and myself, from the dogwood 
miners mentioned in the Ent. Comp., p. 53, under Lampro- 
nia and Incurvaria. The larva may be found from July to 
October, and is common at Lewisham and Mickleham. 
E. Gleichenella, I. B., p. 251. I found the larva of this 
in a grass and in a Carex near Beckenham in March and 
April; it makes rather small whitish blotches on the upper 
side of the leaf, and moves from one leaf to another; the 
pupa is unusually short. 
E. albifrontella y I. B., p. 252. I found the larva feeding 
in the upper part of the leaves of Holcus mollis last April- 
E. Kilmunella , I. B., p. 253. Bred last July from larvff 
found by Mr. Scott in a species of Carex , near Fochabers, 
Banffshire. I am inclined to think that E. Alpinella , I- 
B., p. 254, is only a form of this species. 
E. cinereopunctella, I. B., p. 254. The beautiful red' 
spotted larva mines down the leaves of Carex cjlauca i* 1
