THE FAUNA OF THE LONDON DISTRICT. 
LEPIDOPTERA. 
Edited by LOUIS B. PBOUT, F.E.S. 
(Continued from Transactions, Part X., 1900.) 
As already intimated ( Trans ., 1899, p. 56), many supplementary 
records of the so-called “ Macro-Lepidoptera ” have been awaiting 
publication, and it is now thought desirable to publish the first 
supplement, besides presenting a preliminary list of the Pyralidae, 
Pterophoridae and Orneodidae of the district. The latter is unfortu¬ 
nately very meagre at present, and is the work of but very few recorders; 
but there is always better hope of obtaining additional information 
when that already in hand has been systematically set forth, and on 
this ground I feel that I need not apologise for its publication. Our 
notes on the remaining families (or rather superfamilies) are in a still 
more rudimentary condition, and I trust our London collectors will 
give what attention they can to the subject in the immediate future, 
and will be able to make very large addition thereto ; attention should 
be specially directed to the Tortricides during the present year. 
I have again the pleasure of acknowledging a few additions to our 
list of collaborators ; I must especially thank Mr. A. M. Swain, of 
Sydenham, for the interest he has shown in our work, and for the facili¬ 
ties he has given me for availing myself to the full of his interesting 
records, and verifying the more important species. The following is 
a list of the new abbreviations employed : 
E.H.T. =E. H. Taylor. Wimbledon, &c. 
Gd. = G. R. Garland. Epping Forest district, &c. 
Gr. —J. E. Gardner. North-east district. 
Hd. =S. Hammond. Sydenham, Dulwich, &c. 
Sn. — A.. M. Swain. Sydenham and district, last three or 
four years, mostly at lamps.
