Mr. Holme enumerated altogether 120 species, but at least 20 of 

 the names represent nothing more than varieties or synonyms. It is 

 worth noting that he mentions (p. Gl) capturing two specimens of a 

 Psammohius ?, which were devoured by Cajii in his bottle. His Aleo- 

 chara cursor = nitida, Grav. Where no locality is mentioned, it is 

 presumed that St. Mary's is intended. The determination of Ptero- 

 sticlms anthracinus and Saprinus 4:-striatus must be regarded as 

 doubtful.

Yellow variety of Euchelia jacobeem. — On the 19th inst., my son, Arthur Brasser 

 Hearle, captured in an old garden at Brockhurst Cottage, near Gosport, a female 

 specimen of Euchelia jacobctce, in which the crimson colour is replaced by bright 

 yellow. This I believe to be most unusual The insect is a little smaller than the 

 ordinary type. — Parkins Heable, 12, Foster Road, Alverstoke : June 2lst, 1899. 



Lepidoptera at Woking, Surrey. — I took a ^ of Dasycampa rubiginea at 

 sallows in a wood near here on April 15th, and also specimens of I'aniocampa 

 miniosa and populeti. On the 14th I took Xylina setnibrunnea at rest on a paling. 

 — H. A. Saundeks, St. Ann's, Woking : April IQth, 1899. 



Philopotamus montanus, var. chrysopterus, on the Pentland Hills. — On April 

 17Mi I went over the Pentlands with the view of seeing whether any Perlida were 

 yet out on the Logan Burn. The northern slopes of the hills were covered with 

 snow, which had fallen the previous night, and some of the distant Pertlishire peaks
