:^OTES ON COLLECTING, Etc. 



Query CONCERNING Hadena (Mamestra) pisi. — May I ask, through the 

 medium of the Ent. Record, whether the larva of Hadena [Mantestra) pisi 

 has ever been noted in May and fullfed in early June, the imagines 

 appearing in August as a second brood ? The coloration of such 

 specimens is darker, the undulated line suppressed, the orbicular 

 smaller, etc. = gen. 2 var. aestiva. It appears to be a distinct race 

 that separates off from the spring brood, and appears as a partial second 

 brood. — Max Gillmer, 7, Elisabethstrasse, Cothen, Anhalt, Germany. 



A misunderstanding. — Mr. Mellows desires to state that the note 

 published {antea p. 187), appeared through a misunderstanding. The 

 note, it seems, was sent to us privately, aud was not intended for 

 publication, Mr. Holland having given the information concerning all 

 these localities for private use. We much regret that the mistake 

 occurred. — Ed, 



Doublebroodedness of Eupithecia pulchellata. — Knpithecia 

 Unariata is, of course, recorded as being occasionally partially double- 

 brooded, but I can nowhere find the same fact mentioned with regard 

 to E. pulchellata. When, therefore, in Cornwall at the beginning of 

 July, I took two imagines, I put them down as belated emergences from 

 last year's larvae, and so, perhaps, they were ; but, yesterday, I found 

 in my breeding-cage a freshly-emerged specimen which is undoubtedly 

 from a larva of this year, one of many of which I collected in 

 Cornwall, where they were very common. By the way, the Cornish 

 specimens seem very pale-coloured and pretty, the white being 

 especially clean and distinct. — Percy C. Reid, Feering Bury, Kelvedon, 

 Aaniist 1th, 1909. 



Occurrence of Emmelesia blandiata in Gloucestershire. — As 

 the only records for Emmdcsia blandiata in England appear to be from
