eat lack of interest from beginning to end, nearly all the species: 
indentified being procurable at home. This was doubtless due to 
the fact that the season was a very late one, and, in addition to this, 
the prevailing unsettled weather kept back the insect life to a great 
' extent. However, when wind and weather permitted, the net and 
cyanide bottle were brought from their hiding place, and ever 
opportunity taken to collect all that was within reach. Each little 
expedition found the entomologist of the party on the alert, 
but his hopes were rewarded but little. On the flats along the creeks, 
Lewin's daymoth (Agarista Lewinii) was fairly numerous, and the 
meadow argus (Junonia vellida) had a few representatives. When- 
ever heath country was crossed, more encouragement was afforded, 
but nothing out of the common could be seen except a dead specimen | 
of Danaus petilia, which was picked from amongst the bracken when 
on our way to Lorne one day for supplies. This was in a rather 
dilapidated condition, and appeared to have been attacked by birds. 
It was the only one of its kind seen during our stay. j 
The following are the Lepidopter àgecured:—Agarista Lewinii, 
Zeuzera eucalypti, Xeniea Kluggii, Heteronympha merope, Junonia 
vellida, andDanaus petilia, while in Coleoptera, — Colosoma, Paxillus, 
Nibria, Curculionidae and longicorns were captured. 
The party wish to express their best thanks to Mr. Loughron, 
of Wordieboluc, and Messrs Dorman and Meadly, of Lorne, for their 
kindness during the trip.
