N. basigutte.la, Hein. N. anomalella, Goze. N. pygmaeella. Haw. N. pomella, Vaughan. N. oxyacanthella, Stn. N. minusculella, H.-S. N. pyri.

N. septembrella, Stn. N. desperatella, Frey ; the first British specimens were taken at Haugh Wood ; since then found freely in North of England ; mines gregarious on wild apple ' bushes, close to the ground. N. cryptella, Stn. ; Haugh Wood, rare. N. weaveri, Dougl. ; Black Mountain, probably its most southerly English locality. N. intimella, Zell. N. subbimacu- lella. Haw. N. aplcella, Stn.

N. luteella, Stn. N. sorbi, Stn.; liash Scarr, common. N. lapponica, Wk. N. torminalis, Wood. Another new species that the county has furnished. Although the food plant (wild service) is of universal occurrence in the Wool- hope Woods, the moth itself is found only in Stoke Wood. N. regiella, H.-S. Bohemannia quadrimaculella, Boheman ; Woolhope, scarce Trifurcula immundella, Zell. T. pallidella, Zell.; Woolhope, rather scarce. T. pulverosella, Stn. DIPTERA Flies A dozen years ago nothing was known of the Diptera of the county. But about that time Colonel Yerbury visited Herefordshire and laid the foundation of our local acquaintance with the order. Since then he has repeated his visit on more than one occasion, making his head quarters either at Ledbury or Tarrington. Mr. Wainwright also has collected for brief periods at Westhide and the Malverns, his most remarkable capture being an example of Malbta cimhiciformis at West- hide in July, 1899. Besides these two and the present compiler, no one else seems to have touched these interesting insects. Several large groups among the Orthorrhapha, such as the Cecidomyids, Mycetomyids, &c., have been omitted altogether, the present material being too scanty to be worth 96
