Excerpt: ... The larvae of Conchylis straminrana feed in July, and again in September, at the base of the flower-heads of Centaurea nigra, eating the young seeds, and lying curved in the cavity formed, or (if disturbed) retreating into the stem (Barrett). Imagines of the beautiful Chrosis ruUlana used to be taken freely, flying by day in July and August, among juniper on the Surrey downs.

Gelechia boreella and Hysilophus juniperellns are to be beaten from junipers in July in Moray (Home). The imagines of the rare Doryphora palustrella are to be taken when it is just getting quite dark flying over Sparganium, &c, in marshy and boggy places; also come to light later; the species occurs in late July and early August. Cramb,des.--The males of Schoenobius mucronellus are to be taken at light directly after dark in late July and early August. They may also be obtained sparingly by dusking; so taken at Sandwich and Wicken. Dusking along the reed-beds in marshes is always very productive during July, Ckilo phragmitellus may thus be captured, frequently in abundance, as the $ s assemble to newly-emerged 2 s; they may also be taken freely, in cop., on the reeds after dark, with a lantern.
