A second excursion was one held at Leith Hill on June 21st. The 
leader was Mr. V. Eric Shaw, and four other members were present. 
The journey was rather a long one, and the time on the collecting 
ground short, hut some good collecting was enjoyed, and everyone 
carried away good impressions of the locality. The best insects 
secured were Epinne advenaria (in fine condition), Eupithecia indiijata, 
Kupithecia lariciata, Scadiona bdtjiaria (one $ ), Hydriomena autum- 
ualin, JJapta bunaciilata, Asthena In teat a, Euchoeca obliterata, 
IJonmlocha fontis and a fine banded specimen of Leptomcris do*-lactata 
(==reniutata ). A word perhaps should be said respecting the excur¬ 
sions. They are palpably badly attended, and the reason would 
appear that many members consider they can secure more specimens 
on a dual outing or even when they are quite alone. This opinion is 
doubtless well founded, but these excursions are intended to serve 
another purpose as well. An exchange of views is often very beneficial 
to each of the exchangers, and many a useful and interesting detail as 
to how such and such insects are to be taken is often to he obtained 
at such outings, provided there is a good attendance. Members will 
therefore perhaps in the coming summer consider the excursions, 
which are arranged for their benefit, and help to make them the real 
successes they should be in a Society such as this, which is composed 
of active and skilled field workers.
