NOTE. The following occurs in Mr. Bankes' notes

Nepticula eurema, Drt. Swanage Coast (Punfield); taken plentifully in 1899 by sweeping amongst Lotus corniculatus. (E.R.B.)."

But as I cannot discover that any description of a Nepticula under this name has been published, and the circumstances strongly suggest cryptella, I assume that it was that species or a variety of it, perhaps the variety with pale opposite spots on the forewing alluded to under the record of Nepticula cryptella in the first Purbeck List, Proc. D.F.C., VI., 175, which may have been mistakenly thought at one time to be a distinct species, and for which this name may have been suggested. (N. M. Richardson.)

NEPTICULA FLETCHERI, Tutt. Corfe; bred plentifully, in company with N. anomalella, from larvæ in leaves of the garden rose growing up the E. front of Corfe Rectory House. (E.R.B.)

TRIFURCULA, Z.

TRIFURCULA IMMUNDELLA, Z. Rempstone Heath; taken amongst broom by E.R.B. Aug. 19-31, 1889. Corfe; plentiful amongst broom.

taken sparingly amongst Genista tinctoria by E.R.B., Sept. 5-18, 1889, and plentifully in the following year. (Only four specimens had been previously taken in Britain, 2 in Lancashire, and 2 in Hertfordshire.)

PULVEROSELLA, Stn. Corfe ; some empty mines of this species were found on wild apple by E.R.B., July 23, 1897.

Enterim Report on the Excavations at Maumburp Rings, Dorchester, 1912.

THE Report which follows has been prepared by Mr. H. St. George Gray, who has once more directed the investigations for the Committee, the season's work having lasted from 26th Aug. to 18th Sept., 1912.

The many interesting features which were brought to light are fully described and illus

trated in the following pages, and all tend to confirm the views previously expressed as to the history of the site, and the character of the work executed at different periods.
