Chcej'ocampa Celerio in Ireland. — A larva, apparently belonging to this species, 

 which was found feeding on vine in a greenhouse, was bi'ought to me the other day. 

 I have not heard of the species having been met with in Ireland before, but there is 

 no reason why it should not occur as an occasional visitor here, as well as in other 

 parts of Central Europe. — W. F. Kirbt, Royal Dublin Society : November 30th, 1877. 



Acherontia Atropos at sea. — A specimen of the death's-head hawk-moth flew on 

 board the steamer " Cameroon," on her last voyage home from Afi-ica, and while off 

 Cape de Verde. — J. F. Fotheegili, Claughton, Birkenhead : \Oth Dec, 1877. 



[Wlicn Messrs. Wallace and Bates, on their voyage to the Amazons, anchored 

 off Salinas, at least six miles from the nearest land, at the pilot-station for vessels 

 bound to Para, they were met by two large hawk-moths. — Eds.] 



On Lepidopterafrom the Hawaiian Islands. — Mr. N. C. Tucly has brought us a 

 few more Lepidoptera, forwarded to him by the Rev. T. Blackburn, subsequent to 

 the publication of my paper, pp. 47 — 50 of* the present volume. They are as 

 follows : — 



Danais Archippus, Fabricius. — The example given to us by Mr. Tuely is smaller 

 than most American examples; it is a female. 



Leucania dislocata, Walker (No. 6). — Mr. Blackburn has now sent the male of 

 this species, hitherto we have only known the female. 



Plusia verticillata, Guenee (No. 3). — Tlois example agrees M-ith that previously 

 received. 



Mr. Blackburn has also sent a specimen, without abdomen, of an apparently 

 new species of Agrotis, somewhat resembling A. siiffusa ; but, as I hope we may 

 receive a better specimen one of these days, I will not at present describe it. 



Of the Pyralites, he sends the following :— 



Boiys Blackhurni, Butler (No. 32). — A male example. 



Bolys accepta, Butler (No. 18). — An example without abdomen. — A. G-. Butlek, 

 British Museum : November, 1877.
