66 "door arch. The doors one finds in village churches of the 12th Century are very much narrower, and the imposts "(with nail-head' ornament) look exactly like those of a 'typical chancel arch of the period. I have seen some chancel arches about that width, though now removed from "their old position. 66 66 66 "The Font seems to me a piece of undoubted Early English work. Its bit of foliage and mouldings are quite of the "Early 13th Century style. It is not mentioned in Dr. "Cox's list of Dorset Fonts.-With kind regards, yours very "truly, C. W. H. DICKER." The above, then, being the subject which so immediately preceded Mr. Dicker's untimely decease, has, I think, a melancholy though real interest for us all; I therefore presume to make a few remarks upon it. It will be noted that the idea of Bloxworth Church Porch being Norman is quite given up; and whether the opinion that the architect of it adopted, in his design, the course Mr. Dicker mentions, I must leave to experts; but I must remark that there is no proof of there ever having been a porch to the original Norman building. The opinion that the "doorway" (which is undoubtedly Norman) is the Chancel Arch of the original Norman church I am hardly qualified to criticise. It would have been most interesting and useful to us if Mr. Dicker had added to his note upon this point the names of the churches where he had seen some similar arches removed from their original positions, and so become "doorways." I have noted on the plate accompanying this paper the exact dimensions of the doorway as it now stands. My own opinion is certainly against the idea that it formed the chancel-arch of the original church. With respect to Mr. Dicker's opinion that the Font is an undoubted "Early English" work, I cannot say that I am convinced upon this point. I have always thought it to be partly Jacobean, mixed with some of the materials of an original Norman Font; but I do not profess to be an expert on such points. I will only say that the Font has been examined by more than one who have professed to be experts, and they have invariably been doubtful. Perhaps what I have said above may lead some one of our members competent to give an opinion (and assisted by Mr. Dicker's remarks as well as the sketch I have given of the Font as it stands) to let us know more about it, and to confirm or otherwise the opinion that the "doorway" is the chancel-arch of the original Norman building. Second Supplement to the COMPILED FROM THE NOTES OF EUSTACE R. BANKES, By NELSON M. RICHARDSON, B.A. OWING to the unfortunate illness of my friend, Mr. Eustace Bankes, I have been asked to edit the valuable notes made by him on the additions to the Lepidoptera of the Isle of Purbeck since the publication of the 1st Supplement in Vol. X. of the Proceedings of the Dorset Field Club (1889), the original list being contained in Vol. VI. of the same Proceedings (1885). The notes from which the present list is made carry on the records to the end of 1910, the last entry being dated Nov. 27th, 1910. The bulk of the captures were made by Mr. Bankes himself, and where he has had to depend on those made by others, he has always either identified the species himself or relied upon some recognised authority for its correctness. Amongst the insects in the present list are some of great or considerable rarity, such as Vanessa antiopa, Sterrha sacraria, Notodonta trepida, Leucania vitellina, L. albipuncta, L. extranea, Micra parva, Catocala electa, Lemiodes pulveralis, Epischnia bankesiella, Simæthis vibrana, Eupocilia manniana, Tinea richardsoni, Micropteryx aruncella (probably merely a variety of M. seppella), Yponomeuta rorellus, Argyresthia atmoriella, Lithocolletis triguttella (Mr. Bankes brings evidence to prove this to be merely a variety of L. faginella), Nepticula fulgens, N. confusella, Trifurcula pallidella, besides other interesting species. Altogether, no less than 171 species are now added to the list, which swells the number found in Purbeck (after allowing for all corrections) to the very large total of 1,197, an extraordinarily rich Lepidopterous fauna for so small a tract, which it probably owes to the varied nature of the land comprised in it. Heath and bog, sand-hills and salt marshes, woods and downs, fertile fields and rocky cliffs and sea-shore are all found, and each contributes the different species that inhabit it. A few corrections of previous lists and records are necessary. In Entomologist XXX., 111 (1897), Hesperia paniscus and Sesia muscaformis were recorded from Swanage by Mr. J. H. Fowler, but in Entom. XXXII., 309 (1899), he withdrew both records. Although he could not say what the supposed H. paniscus of his informant could have been, it is quite incredible that it could have been H. paniscus, unless proved indubitably by the production of the specimen. A list of Delenda et corrigenda in the first List of Purbeck Lepidoptera and the first supplement, a few of which have already been noticed in the first supplement, is here appended.
