faction afc finding that I unintentionally nialignod G. hdulenieUa when stating in 

 Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. ii (2nd series), p. 196, that it seemed to be always very solitary 

 in its habits. I have lately come across the three or four specimens taken with the 

 one mentioned in my note, and they prove that it was flying not in company with 

 G. lentiginosella, but with other (though very differently coloured) individuals of 

 its own species. This season I have had the good fortune to secure a nice series of 

 O. lutulentella, and find that it varies in colour to a wonderful extent, from glossy 

 black to glossy pale yellowish-brown. — Id. 



Re-occurrence of Arge Oalathea in East Yorkshire. — On the occasion of our 

 Excursion of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union to Sledmere in East Yorkshire on 

 Bank Holiday, Monday, August 3rd, Arge Galathea was turned up in its old locality 

 there. Formerly this species was known to occur commonly at Sledmere, and also 

 in several other Yorkshire localities, but had been regarded by Lepidopterists as 

 quite extinct in the county for probably some twenty-five years. — Geo. T. Poeeitt, 

 Huddersfield: August, '[SQl. 



Pterophorus pallidum in Yorkshire. — When collecting on Thome Moor, near 

 Goole, in company with Mr. John Harrison, of Barnsley, on the 18th of July last, 

 I boxed a small " Plume," which I quite failed to recognise. On making a careful 

 examination of it last week, I found it agreed closely with the Dorsetshire specimens 

 of P. paludnm in my cabinet, but as none in my series were in such good condition, 

 nor quite so large as my capture, together with my doubt as to the likelihood of 

 paludum occurring so far north as Yorkshire, I at once sent it off to my friend Mr. 

 Sydney Webb, of Dover (who knows the species of this group as well as any one), 

 for his opinion. His reply on returning the specimen was as 1 had anticipated, 

 " paludum, a very fine and large specimen." — Id. : September 7th, 1891. 



Callimorpha Hera in Devonshire. — As I believe some doubt exists as to the 

 claims of Callimorpha Hera to be considered as established as a British species, a 

 note of its recent capture in Devon may be worth publication. My neighbour, 

 Major-General Garden, who has recently returned home from Teignmouth, yesterday 

 showed nie seventeen specimens of C. Hera, all of which he assures me he caught 

 last August, in five days, in the neighbourhood of Teignmouth. He states that had 

 he been favoured with reasonable weather, he would probably have caught a much 

 larger number. I am not aware that the capture of so large a number of specimens 

 of the species in England by any one collector in one season has been previously 

 recorded. — H. Goss, Surbiton Hill : September 12th, 1891. 



Acronycta aini at Hoddesdon. — On August 21st I found in the garden a larva 

 of A. alni. It is now safely in cocoon in a piece of " touch-wood." I believe it is 

 new to this county. — F. M. Campbell, Kose Hill, Hoddesdon : Sept. 19th, 1891. 



Eroi minutus in Gloucestershire. — I captured a single specimen of this beetle 

 on the 19th September, 1885, as it was crawling over an old beech stump in the 

 Westridge Wood near here. I have never been able to meet with another speci- 

 men until the 9th inst., when I had the satisfaction of taking two more by beating 

 young oaka, where the foliage was very thick ; I have tried again twice since but 

 without success. — V. R. Peekixs, Wotton-undcr-Edge : September 11 th,lS91.
