With regard to her first record of Viscaria vulgaris , Boehl. 
( =Lychnis Viscaria, L.), Miss Selby says: “The only way in 
which I can account for its being found in such a curious locality 
is the fact of a plant brought from Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh, being 
kept in a pot by some people living about half a mile off, but this 
plant had been taken away at least two years before I found the 
plant I speak of” {i.e. before the 1886 record). 
Miss Selby’s reports for previous years will be found in our 
‘Transactions’ as follows:—Beport for 1882, Yol. II, p. 237; 
for 1883, Yol. Ill, p. 101 ; for 1884 and 1885, Yol. IY, p. 118.—

Zoology. 
Ornix fagivora in Hertfordshire .—I have much pleasure in 
reporting the discovery, at Symond’s Hyde Wood, near Sandridge, 
last autumn, of the larva of Ornix fagivora, a species which was 
first announced as British from specimens taken by me near 
Cambridge a few years since (see ‘ Entomologists’ Monthly Maga¬ 
zine,’ vol. xxii, p. 64). It has since been taken, I have been 
informed, in Herefordshire. Ornix is a genus of the Tineina, 
the larvae of which, when nearly full fed, turn up the edge of 
the leaves of their food-plant into a conical cot, within which 
they feed. 
The larvae of Ornix fagivora may be found in September and 
October on the leaves of beech and probably on those of hornbeam.
