N. rubi. Occasionally at sugar and on the wing, in garden and
Forest.
N. umbrosa. Several at sugar in garden in 1869 and 1870.
N. baja. Very rarely at sugar in garden; commoner in
Forest.
N. xanthographa. Extremely abundant at sugar and on
wing.
Taeniocampa gothica. At sallow in woods near Chingford ;
fairly common.
T. rubricosa. Same locality as preceding; scarce.
T. instabilis. Common at sallow throughout district.
T. stabilis. Very common at sallow in woods near Ching-
ford.

O. lota. Fairly common at sugar in garden.
O. macilenta. Scarce at sugar in garden.
Anchocelis rufina. Scarce at sugar in garden.
A. pistacina. Common at sugar in garden. This species
absolutely swarmed in 1869, every patch of sugar attracting them by
scores. The moths were sometimes seen still at the sugar by broad
daylight in the morning. I have never seen the species in such
profusion since.
A. lunosa. Common at sugar with the preceding, but not so
abundant.
A. litura. At sugar in garden; scarce.
Cerastis vaccinii. Fairly common at sugar in the garden in
the autumn, and at sallow in the spring (woods near Chingford).
C. spadicea. Not quite so common as preceding; taken
under same conditions.
Scopelosoma satellitia. Occasionally at sugar in garden,
and at sallow in the spring. Commoner in the Forest, where the
larva can be beaten out in large numbers.
Xanthia citrago. Occasionally at sugar in garden. A speci-
men was taken by my mother on a fence at Buckhurst Hill, in
1890.
X. ferruginea. Fairly common at sugar in garden and
Forest.
