T.formicceforme. — A correspondent informs me that he has taken this insect 

 pretty freely in the neighbourhood of Stoke-by-Nayland. 



P. chrysorrhcea, (Brown Tail.)— I have both taken and bred this insect from

 Felixstow.

 the end of July and the beginning of August.

 on the coast, July 30th. 



H. suasa. — Taken at sugar on the coast with the preceding. 



S. dipsacea. — Mr. H. Bree took a single specimen on the coast the first 

 week in August. I saw another a few days previously, flying over the beach 

 in the hot sunshine, but unfortunately missed it.

Entomologists as a body are an erratic race. They are always apt to 

 think that they can catch better things at a distance than at home. I do 

 not for one moment pretend to be one bit better than my neighbours in this 

 respect, but still I am quite sure we often miss very good things at home, 

 while wandering on what frequently turns out to be a wild-goose chase after 

 imaginary rarities at a distance. It may interest some of the readers of "The 

 Naturalist" to read a list of insects not quite so common as to be a pest, 

 which I have taken in years gone by within the boundaries of my father's 

 Bectory grounds in Derbyshire. Those marked (p) I have also taken in the 

 parish. 



1. P. statices. — (p.) 



2. S. ocellatus. — The eggs and larvse common on the apple trees in the 

 orchard.
