the sections, although not very frequently anywhere. Among other 
species noticed have been—in Monkswood— Haliasprasinana , Acidalia 
bisetata , A. dimid a a, and E. alchemillata . In the Chingtord section— 
Cai adnna morpheus , C. a/sines , Z. tarsipennalis , Hypena proboscidalis, 
XJrapteryx sambucaria , ^ 4 . imitana , Timandra a mat aria, Hemithea 
strigata, Cidaria dotata and pulvata; and throughout the Forest 
A/", hedus and Hypdpetes sordidata. Of the above species A. bisetata , 
C. morpheus , 7 /. proboscidalis , H. strigata , C. dotata and pyraliata , 
H. hedus and H. sor didata are common. £ 7 . sambucaria , ^ 4 . imitaria , 
and T. amataria fly along the glades and hedges, and are plentiful at 
times. One specimen of T. amataria was found at the end of August, 
1889, which, I suppose, must have belonged to a second brood, is. 
alchemillata has only occurred once, C. alsines twice. On tree trunks 
Cuspidia aceris and megacephala, Cidaria immanata and picata are to 
be found in the Chingford section; the three first-named are common, 
the last is rare. On fences, A. virgularia and E. pumilata are abun¬ 
dant, and one specimen of A. trigeminata was taken on the 5th July 
last year near High Beach, while on some of the walls on the outskirts 
Bryophila perla is very plentiful. At sugar, one Dicycla 00 was captured 
in July, 1891. Of other species, Leucania impura , Agrotis segetum , 
Calymnia trapezina , Apamea didyma and N triangulum are very com¬ 
mon. Gonophora derasa was abundant last year. A good many Axylia 
putris were boxed in 1890, but none in 1891. Nodua festiva and 
brunnea , Calymnia dijfinis , Apamea unanimis , Mania maura and 
Dyschorista ypsilon are fairly frequent visitors, but the two last are more 
plentiful in the Lea Valley. Caraarina blanda is rather rare ; some are 
dark. Leucania pallens is abundant; one var. rufcscens was caught in 
Monkswood in 1892. Two specimens of Mamestra sordida have been 
taken—one each year. In July, 1890, one H. quercana was attracted 
to the sugar, and in 1891 another specimen was beaten from an oak in 
the Chingford section. Another visitor to sugar in 1890 was a fine 
Cossus ligniperda. 
In August there is not much day work, and beating has produced 
little except Ennomos angularia, and a few Triphcena janthina. Thecla 
bdulce , however, is on the wing, and on the iSth August, 1890, three 
males were taken, and several others seen. One Sarrothripa undulanus 
was found on a post on the 3rd of the month, last year, in the Monkswood 
section. Boarinia gemmaria and Catocala nupta may be boxed on trees 
on the borders. One Odonestis potatoria was attracted by a lantern on 
the 8th, last year, near High Beach. Night work is much better. Flying 
over heather, in the Monkswood section, Hepialus sylvinus, Nodua baia, 
and xanthographa , E. nanata , and minutata are common, while in the 
glades Epione apiciaria and Eubolia mensuraria may be taken, rather 
sparingly, however. Sugar produces N. rubi and xanthographa in swarms, 
and N. umbrosa and baia , and Triphoena orbona less frequently, and in 
1891 Miana literosa and Cerigo matura also turned up, while Calymnia 
affinis was plentiful at the beginning of the month. 
During September there are many good larvae to be found. Stauro- 
pus fagi was beaten for vigorously. We, however, did not get any, 
though we saw one fall into the sheet held by Messrs. Quail and Austin, 
who were beating the next tree to the one we were under ; still a good 
number of D. coryli , D. pu dibund a , H. prasinana , A. betularia and 
commoner larvae fell into the trays. Beating by night was rather more
