hiarcuana, 3 ; A. siculana, 3 ; Phloeodes crenana, 1 (this species I have not met with 
here before) ; Stigmonota pnncticostana, Catoptria aspidiscana, 2 ; Lobesia reliquana, 
4 ; Eoxana arcuana, 4 ; Eui^cecilia ruficiUana, in plenty ; Lampronia luzella, 1 ; a 
specimen of the variety of Incwvaria masculella which has both the spots confluent ; 
Nemophora metaxella, 3 ; Omix Loganella, 6 ; Stephensia Brunnichiella, 1 ; Elacliista 
liatomella, 2 ; E. triseriatella, 2 ; E. rhynchosporella, 6. 
On the 14th of June I went to Humphrey Head, near Ulverston, and met with 
Botys terrealis, Acidalia suhsericeata, Eupitliecia constrictata, Ennychia octomaculalis, 
and about 40 Coleopliora saUnella in a neighbouring salt-marsh; Psy diodes ver- 
Jmellella was flying in the hot sunshine. After a warm walk of nine niiles I reached 
Witherslack, and there met with Procris Geryon, Eucosmia undulata, Penthina 
proelonyana, 1 ; Parasia Mctzneriella, 1 ; Coleopliora fiiscociliella, 2 ; and many 
commoner species ; also Gelcchia tenehrella and G. tenehrosella. I think these are 
distinct speties, as I have taken G. tenehrella in copuld. On the 28th of June I 
again re-visited Witherslack, and obtained 6 Eucliromia rufana, Yypsoloplius mar- 
ginellus, and 6 Bucculatrix frangulella, on buckthorn. I had not previously met 
with this neat little species. Of Lohopliora sexalisata I met with four flying at dusk 
in the highway, also Lithosia mesomella, Drepana lacertula, Miana arcuosa, Euthe- 
moma russula, Pelurga comitata, and Tinea semifulvella ; and I found Ellopia fasciaria, 
and Polia nehulosa just emerged fi-om the pupa, drying their wings on the stems of 
trees. All this time I was undergoing martyrdom from the midges. 
July 14th 1 again went to Witherslack, and met with Scotosia vetulata and 
Ligdia adustata for the first time in this district, also Spilonota laviciana, a number 
of larva3 of Depressaria earduella, Hypenodes humidalis, 12 Dicrorampha consortanay 
Tinea alUpimctella, &c., &c. — J. B. Hodgkinson, 31, Christchurch Street, Preston. 
Captures of Lepidoptera at Bannoch. — The following are notes of an entomo- 
logical visit with Mr. C. J. Buckmaster to the north of Perthshire during the latter 
half of July and the greater part of August in the present year. 
Work began gloomily on 22nd July by a walk of eight miles in the rain, from 
Kinloch Rannoch to Camachgouran — that paradise of Scotch insects and desert of 
all the ordinary conveniences of life— which was enlivened only by the capture of 
a solitary specimen of E. ericetaria. Once established in head-quarters, work 
became vigorous, and the evening of arrival was celebrated by a " sugaring" expe- 
dition, which ended ignominiously in the capture of nothing. Whether the season 
has been unfavourable or not generally for sugar, it assuredly was so in this 
instance, and the only moth taken on the sweets not called in Mr. Stainton's 
"Manual" either "common" or "abundant" everywhere was a specimen of R. 
tenehrosa. The total produce of sugar furnished about an average of one specimen 
on every thirty trees per night, as the result of twenty expeditions, and a delightful 
reminiscence of glorious mountain sunsets and ten o'clock pipes, waiting for the 
lingering northern darkness to come on. 
" Mothing " at dusk produced more, but not much. In the Black Forest, 
which was the scene of frequent nocturnal collecting, E. fasciaria occurred not 
uncommonly, with swarms of L. casiata and C. populata, in infinite variety of 
colour, flying numerously over beds of Vaccininm. Near Kinloch E. hlandiata was
