Rh Macroglossa Stellatarum. Rather plentiful in my garden last summer, frequenting the flowers of the larkspur.

Sesia Fuciformis, (Curtis). One specimen taken and two others seen in Spelting wood, in May.

Ptilophora variegata. Two males taken from the blackthorn on the 18th and 24th of November, last year.

Trichiura Cratagi. Rather plentiful: the larvae, which are very variable, feed on the hazel, white and black thorn.

Pœcilocampa Populi. Bred from larvae, taken from the oak, ash and willow.

Gastropacha Quercifolia. Not rare.

Diaphora mendica. A female, which laid a number of eggs, from which I reared about twenty specimens of both sexes: the females vary much in the number of spots.

Xylina Lambda. Rather plentiful. It is a very hardy moth: 1 saw two specimens as late as the last day of December, 1842; and on the 1st of February, 1843, it again made its appearance.

Calocampa exoleta. A caterpillar found feeding on the hazel, but it died in the chrysalis.

Miselia Aprilina. Rather plentiful last year; the larvae feed upon the oak.

Apatela Aceris. Bred from larvae found on the sycamore, maple and hazel.

Xanthia flavago and fulvago. One specimen of each in Lennage wood.

Eremobia ochroleuca. Rather plentiful in several places in August and September, generally on the flowers or stem of the knapweed.

Mormo maura. Very abundant last autumn.

Cleora cinctaria. One specimen from an oak tree about two miles on the Melford road, on the 30th of April, 1841: it is larger and darker than my Kedington specimen.

Cidaria munitata. One specimen in Lennage wood on the 22nd of June, 1841, taken as it flew from the trunk of an oak.

Cidaria quadrifasciaria. I saw one specimen of this moth in my garden, but being unprovided with a net at the time, it escaped.

Polyphasia perfuscata. Three specimens by the side of Lennage wood.

Anticlea berberata. Took one specimen in my garden in 1841.

Anticlea rubidata. One, beaten from a hedge on the Sudbury road about a mile and a half from Lavenham, June 28, 1842.
