* Schreckensteinia festaliella, rather common in hedges. To my eye this is 

 much more like a Plume than a Tinea. Stainton says (Natural History of the 

 Tineina, vol. xii, p. 40) that the peculiar carriage of tlie posterior legs is met writh 

 not only in Stathmopeda, but in the Indian Atkinsonia clerodendronella. 



*Prays curtisellus, both the type form and the dark variety rustica. 



*Hyponomeuta cognatella (evont/mella), a single specimen taken by Mr. Image 

 near the house. Is the larva known to feed on the Euonymus, so much grown in 

 sea-side gardens ? [Very common on Euonymus japoniciis in and near London, 

 which is probably the plant intended. — Eds.]

Occurrence' of Cryptocephalus coryli in Sherwood Forest. — In June of last 

 year I, in company with my friends Messrs. J. Ray Hardy and E. J. B. Sopp, took 

 eight specimens of this insect in Sherwood Forest (two males and six females) by 

 beating birches and oaks. There is very little hazel at all in the Forest, none 

 whatever where the beetle occurred. This is, I believe, the first i-ecord of its 

 capture in the locality. — J. Kidson-Tayloh, 2, South Terrace, South Avenue, 

 Buxton : January 12th, 1904.
