beyond, and Boarmia repandata throughout are the principal fresh 
emergences. The tree trunks have not yielded much beyond those 
mentioned as occurring in May, except Aplecta nebulosa. One speci¬ 
men of Emmelesia affinilaia was found on a fence near Epping last year. 
Among the butterflies Argynnis selene is common in the Wake Arms 
section about the middle of the month. Many day-flying moths are also 
on the wing. Bombyx rubi was plentiful on the 21st June, 1S91, in the 
last mentioned locality, and Nemeophila russula a week later. The 
former flies very rapidly over the heather early in the afternoon, but 
seems to steady down later, and can be caught fairly easily about 6 
o’clock. One female was found sitting on a sprig of heather. N. 
russula is trodden up from the heather. It flies rather high, and if 
there is any wind many are lost. It is very local. Eubolia palum- 
baria is common north of High Beach, and one Euclidia mi was 
taken last year. Ino statices may be found in some of the fields 
bordering the Chingford Forest. At dusk, in the Chingford section, 
the principal species captured have been Eupithecia exiguata, Cldaria 
russata ( truncata ), Acidalia aversata , M. bicolorata , and Metrocampa 
margaritaria , Noctua rubi , Xylophasia rurea , Rusina tenebrosa , Zanco- 
splantha grisealis and Hepialus humuli. All these, except R. tenebrosa , 
are plentiful. Sugaring is commenced during the month, and among 
the earliest visitors are, Thyatyra batis , Leucania lithargyria , Xylophasia 
polyodon , X. lithoxylea and hepalica , Dipterygia pinastri ( scabriuscula ), 
Apaniea gemina, Miana fasciuncula and strigilis , Agrotis exclamationis , 
Noctua augur , and Euplexia lucipara. All these, except X. hepatica , 
D. pinastri and A. gemina are common. The var. cethiops of strigilis 
outnumbers the type, and an intermediate form is taken, but only in 
small numbers. Both the red and brown (var. cana) forms of fas¬ 
ciuncula occur.- A nicely mottled form of hepatica (var. characterea) is 
sometimes found. 
July. —Among the butterflies two specimens of Argynnis paphia have 
been captured near Chingford, the last m 1889, and another of the 
larger Fritillaries, supposed to be aglaia, was seen in Monkswood last 
year. Among day flying moths Zygcena filipendulce is abundant in some 
of the fields bordering the Forest. Two of the best insects to be taken 
this month, by beating, are Phorodesma bajularia and Acidalia inornata. 
The males of the former fly at dusk, but are very difficult to get in good 
condition, being usually pinkish-brown instead of green. It seems to 
be distributed equally throughout the Forest. Two specimens of 
Eucosmia undulata were disturbed by the beating stick on the 25th 
July, 1891, one in the Monkswood and the other in the Wake Arms 
section. Cldaria testata is common in Monkswood, among the sallows. 
At dusk Plusia iota and pulchrina may be found, while chrysitis is, in 
some years, almost a nuisance. Angerona prunaria flies in some num¬ 
bers in the Chingford Forest. It is on the wing from sunset until long 
after dusk. Among the footmen Calligenia miniata flits about at dusk, 
or it may be beaten in the Monkswood and Wake Arms sections. It 
is the only species in the family which has been taken in any numbers 
—seven were netted one evening. One specimen of Lithosia mesomelia 
was trodden up on the 25th July, 1891, in the last-named locality. 
Lycophotia strigula flies over the heather in Monkswood, and Chortodes 
arcuosa in the damp fields round the Forest and in the glades. Peri- 
callia syringaria emerges during the month, and may be netted in all
