47. Addendum to Mr. Bird's communication at p. 89. — Sir, In 

 looking at my contribution to the volume of the Entomological 

 Magazine completed with the present number, poor as the 

 contribution is, it may be worth while to correct what is wrong, 

 and to add something to it. — P. 42, line 1. " Those which 

 I do not take by the lamp." I intended to limit this to the 

 class, Lepidoptera. — P. 43. In the list of Coleoptera, Callistus 

 lunatus should be omitted ; I take it at Caversham, seven miles 

 off, on chalk. In the list of Diptera, I ought to have inserted 

 Chironomus cestivus. $ During the present year, I have add|d 

 to the Burghfield insects Tipula nigra ? Notodo?ita perfusca, 

 Clostera reclusa, Sesia Bombyliformis, and Nonagria crassi- 

 cornis. I have taken a few specimens of Grammesia bilinea, 

 Argyrolepia Turionella and Saryus Reaumuri. Cynthia 

 Cardui has been very common here. We have seen a few 

 specimens of Colias Electra.

48. Capture of ' Deilephila Celerio and D. Galii. — I have 

 had the good fortune to procure this autumn a specimen of each 

 of these rare British Sphinyites. Galii was taken on a major 

 convolvulus about the middle of the ninth month (September), 

 in a sort of court-yard; there was no other plant near it. 

 Celerio was taken on a heap of stones early in the tenth month 

 (October), and brought to me alive. Four specimens of Colias 

 Hyale have been taken here this autumn by different col- 

 lectors.
