Corfe ; 2 fine specimens taken, one on May 31, 1889, the other on Aug. 19, 1889, by E.R.B. on Scotland Heath bogs, have been identified by C. G. Barrett.

PSYCHE (FUMEA) INTERMEDIELLA, Br. Studland ; one specimen (a fine male) lately found and identified by E.R.B. among Rev. C. R. Digby's former captures (now in Coll. G. W. TINEIDE. TINEA, Stn. (MEESSIA). TINEA (MEESSIA) RICHARDSONI, Wlsm. (VINCULELLA, Rdsn.). Punfield Cove, near Swanage; a nice specimen [recently (cir. 1896) found labelled X. argentimaculella, in Coll. G. R. Bird, and identified by E.R.B. as T. richardsoni] was taken by Rev. C. R. Digby on a grass stem on July 8, 1882. Bred sparingly in 1896 and plentifully in 1897 by E.R.B. from cases found on the underside of rocks and stones in the same locality. This species has hitherto been only recorded from Portland in 1891 and bred where it was discovered in 1894 by N. M. Richardson. (See Proc. D.F.C. XVI., 81, and figs. on plate by Mrs. Richardson.

Corfe; taken in company with M. calthella and seppella by sweeping amongst Veronica chamadrys, &c., in "Scotland" rough field by E.R.B. in June, 1890. It is firmly believed by E.R.B. to be merely a variety of M. seppella. MICROPTERYX SEMIPURPURELLA, Ss. Rempstone; taken not uncommonly among the birch-trees in Goathorn plantation by Rev. C. R. Digby and E.R.B. on April 19, 1892. Corfe; by E.R.B. SANGII, Wood. Corfe; on May 16-18, 1895, three undoubted larvæ of this species were found by E.R.B. on birch in the Rectory shrubbery, and preserved in spirit of wine so that there may be no question of their identity, for the moths are sometimes inseparable from M. semipurpurella. KALTENBACHII, Stn. Corfe; one taken in the Rectory Copse by E.R.B. on April 22, 1892, and a few more during the next few days. ADELA, Lt. ADELA RUFIMITRELLA, S.

Kimmeridge Coast; one was taken by E.R.B. near Chapman's Pool, on July 26, 1895. In November, 1907, it was identified by E.R.B. with 4 other British specimens in his collection as certainly rorellus, Hb., which species was not then known to occur in the British Isles. PLUTELLIDE. YPSOLOPHA, F. YPSOLOPHA SYLVELLA, L. Corfe; one taken on Aug. 13, 1884, and another in 1893, both by E.R.B. GELECHIDÆ. DEPRESSARIA BIPUNCTOSA, C. Corfe; this obscure and very little known species has been taken sparingly on the wing at night, by E.R.B., in 1890 and following years in one old pasture field, where knapweed (C. nigra) and a variety of other such plants are plentiful.

Corfe; three taken in the Bucknowle rough field amongst Genista tinctoria on July 13-15, 1891, by E.R.B. Identified as vorticella by Mr. H. T. Stainton. [N.B.-Vorticella was erroneously entered as ligulella in the First Supplement to the Purbeck List. Proc. D.F.C., X., 209.] marsh at Southaven in the evening, by Rev. C. R.

Studland ; 2 specimens (teste E.R.B.) taken near the shore by Rev. C. R. Digby on July 17, 1888, have remained unidentified until now, but they are clearly this species. SALICORNIÆ, Hrng. Wych; two taken in a salt marsh by E.R.B. on July 31, 1894. GELECHIA, Stn. (XYSTOPHORA, Hein.). GELECHIA (XYSTOPHORA) LUTULENTELLA, Z.
