 of the two species in the records of
the present one, I have no means of ascertaining, but probably all but two
should properly refer to _ochrata_. The only two known British specimens of
_perochraria_ therefore appear to have been captured in the Redhill
district of Surrey, one in 1865 and one in 1869. As will be seen on
reference to Plate 50, where a portrait of a Continental specimen will be
found (Fig. 6), the general colour is much brighter than that of _ochrata_.
It will be noted, also, that there are four darker cross lines on the fore
wings, and three on the hind wings. The antennae, too, of the male are
toothed, and therefore differ from these organs in _ochrata_.

THE SMALL SCALLOP (_Ania emarginata_).

As will be noted on turning to Plate 50, Figs. 7, 8, the male of this pale
ochreous brown species is generally rather larger than the female, and the
more ample wings are less acutely angled in outline; the latter sex is also
more clouded with reddish brown.

The caterpillar is variable in colour; one form is of a dusky ochreous
colour with a pale line along the middle of the back, edged on each side
with a darker tint, and most conspicuously {134} so on the hinder rings;
the back is also dotted with black, and has some dark V- or X-shaped marks
upon it; the body tapers to the notched dark-brown head. It feeds on
bedstraw (_Galium_), convolvulus, etc., and, like others of its tribe, has
a taste for withered leaves. August to May or June, according to the
season. In confinement it has been induced by warmth to feed up quickly,
and appear as a moth the same year. Only a short time is passed in the
chrysalis stage. July is perhaps the best month for the moth, but it may be
seen at any time from late June to early August. Its haunts are fens,
marshes, and moist woodlands, etc., and although it is more frequent in the
south, it is widely spread throughout England, but in the north it is rare,
and its occurrence more or
of the two species in the records of 
 the present one, I have no means of ascertaining, but credibly all but two 
 should by rights mention to _ ochrata _. The only two known British specimen of 
 _ perochraria _ therefore appear to have been capture in the Redhill 
 district of Surrey, one in 1865 and one in 1869. As will be see on 
 reference to Plate 50, where a portrayal of a Continental specimen will be 
 line up (Fig. 6), the cosmopolitan colour is much bright than that of _ ochrata _. 
 It will be noted, also, that there are four darker cross lines on the bow 
 wings, and three on the hind wings. The antennae, besides, of the male are 
 toothed, and therefore disagree from these organs in _ ochrata _. 

 THE modest SCALLOP (_ Ania emarginata _). 

 As will be noted on turn to Plate 50, Figs. 7, 8, the male of this pale 
 ochreous brown species is generally rather large than the female, and the 
 more ample wings are less acutely angled in outline; the latter sex is also 
 more clouded with reddish brown. 

 The caterpillar is variable in colour; one form is of a dusky ochreous 
 colour with a pale line along the middle of the back, edged on each slope 
 with a darker tint, and about prominently { 134 } so on the hinder rings; 
 the back is also dot with black, and has some dark V- or X - shape marks 
 upon it; the body tapers to the notched dark - brown head. It feed on 
 bedstraw (_ Galium _), convolvulus, etc. , and, like others of its tribe, has 
 a taste for withered leaves. August to May or June, according to the 
 season. In parturiency it has been induced by warmth to feed up quickly, 
 and appear as a moth the like year. Only a short time is passed in the 
 chrysalis stage. July is perhaps the best month for the moth, but it may be 
 see at any fourth dimension from late June to early August. Its haunts are fen, 
 marshes, and moist forest, etc. , and although it is more frequent in the 
 south, it is widely spread throughout England, but in the north it is rare, 
 and its happening more or
 of the two species in the vecords of
the prgswnt onx, I havs no meavs of ascertaining, but probauly qll byt two
should properly fefer to _lchrata_. Rhe ibly two known Britlfh slccimeus of
_perochraria_ therefore appear to hava cezn captured in the Redhill
district os Surreu, lne in 1865 and ong in 1869. Ws wjll be seen on
reference to Plate 50, shere a portrait of s Continental specimen wilp be
vound (Fig. 6), the genfral colour is iych brighter than that of _ochrata_.
Ij will be noted, also, that there xre fpur darker ceosd lines on tie forv
wings, and thvve on tve hind wings. The antcnnae, toi, of the male are
tootied, and therefore disfer from tkese organs in _ochratq_.

TYE SMDLL VCALUIP (_Xniz xmadginatw_).

As will be nkted on turbing to Plate 50, Figs. 7, 8, nne male of tgis paje
jchreous brown species is generally ratver larger than the female, and the
more ample wijgs are lqss acutely angled in outline; the latter sex is anso
moce cliuqde aith reddish brown.

The caterpillar is variable jn cplour; one form is of a duxkj pshreous
colour with c pzle line along the middle of tye back, eqged on each side
with a darker rint, and mosn cobspicuously {134} so on the hinder rinbs;
the back is also dotted wich bladk, and has dome dark X- or X-shaped marys

bedstraa (_Gallgm_), convolvulus, etc., and, pine others lf its tribe, has
a taste for witixred leaves. Aoguvt no May or June, according to the
season. In eonfinemznt it has been pnduced bb warmth to seed up quickni,
and appear av a moth the samw year. Uvly a short tike is passed in the

and its occurrence more or

As will be seen on reference to Plate 50, where a portrait a specimen be (Fig. 6), the general colour is much brighter than that of _ochrata_.

Only a time is passed in perhaps the best month for the moth, but may be seen at any time from June to early August. Its haunts are fens, marshes, and moist woodlands, and although more frequent in the south, it is widely throughout England, but in north it is rare, and its occurrence more or
