Leicester LEPIDOPTERA Butterflies and Moths For Lepidoptera the county of Leicester is hardly an ideal one, though a good many workers at various times have left on record many interesting notes. A list of the Macro Lepidoptera by Messrs. Bouskell and Headly was published in 1891 in the Transactions of the Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society. The Micros have not been thoroughly worked, though the Rev. Canon Cruttwell and others have done some good work in this direction. Amongst those who have studied the county distribution and contributed their notes to the writer, which are comprised in an unpublished list of the Lepidoptera compiled by him, are the late Rev. A. Matthews who worked the Market Harborough district, the late Mr. J. Weildt of Loughborough, Mr. F. R. Rowley of Exeter, the late Rev. J. H. Hind of Quorn, Mr. G. B. Dixon of Leicester, Mr. C. B. Headly, of Leicester, Mr. W. J. Kaye of Ditton Hill, Rev. G. W. Whitting- ham of Knighton, and the Rev. A. R. Birkenhead of Market Bosworth. 78
