LEPIDOPTERA For the means of furnishing any really passable catalogue of the Lepidoptera of the county of Bedford I am indebted in a very great degree to the kindness of Mr. A. E. Gibbs of St. Albans, whose large acquaintance with this county has been of the greatest assistance in drawing together the available information. Mainly through his help, valuable lists have been received of the larger Lepidoptera for Bedford 1 Mr. Ellis tells me that this very interesting species occurs in a small boggy place near Leighton, and that he has taken it in hundreds. The bog often dries up in summer, and the insects congregate under the matted grass in one spot about ten yards square ; although the bog covers some acres he has never found a specimen outside this small area. 78
