Dale says "A specimen in my collection was taken at Langton Matravers in 1853, by Dalton Serrel (Serrell), Esq." If this moth has been rightly identified as globularia, this is the only instance known of the occurrence of this species outside the counties. of Kent and Sussex, and is therefore very remarkable. [Although Mr. E. R. Bankes

admitted this record into his list, he thought on further consideration that it should be omitted as being too doubtful. I agree with him in this view, as the identification of the species of this genus is somewhat difficult.N. M. RICHARDSON.]

The nomenclature adopted in the first list and the first supplement is that of Merrin's Lepidopterist's Calendar (1875), and the present being only a second supplement and not a new list, I have thought it best, to prevent confusion, to use the same nomenclature, placing within brackets any synonyms which have been shewn to have prior claims, and which are more generally used at the present time. Where Mr. Eustace R. Bankes' name occurs as the authority for a capture or otherwise in the notes, it is designated for convenience by the initials (E.R.B.); other captors' names are given in full. A list of abbreviations used for the names of the authors of the descriptions of the various species is appended.

In Mr. E. R. Bankes' notes, Corfe Castle is sometimes written in full, but generally designated as Corfe. It is always alluded to as "Corfe "in the following list for the sake of brevity :

DIURNI.

VANESSIDE.

ARGYNNIS, F.

ARGYNNIS ADIPPE, L. Swanage; one taken by Mr. S. W. Kemp in Aug., 1899, and recorded in Entom.,

XXXII., p 260.

VANESSA, F.

VANESSA ANTIOPA, L. Swanage ; a specimen was seen flying along the road about half-way between Swanage and Studland by Mr. Arthur W. Geffcken at about 1.45 p.m. on June 1, 1892. As Mr. Geffcken was driving at the time he could not capture the insect, but had an excellent view of it as it flew towards him, and then, when quite close, turned to the left over some bushes: he knows the species thoroughly well, having seen and taken it commonly both on the Continent and in the United States, and feels sure of its identity.
