216 THE entomologist's record. 



Insects at Hampstead. — It may interest some of your readers to 

 know that a friend of mine took a very fine specimen of C'atocala 

 nnpta, settled on a wall in Lyndhurst Road, Hampstead, on Saturday, 

 August 15th. Among other unusual visitors to Hampstead may be 

 mentioned a specimen of Cossm liiinipcrda, taken at rest on a young 

 sapling, near Hampstead Heath Station ; and also SincHntJins ocdlatus, 

 caught in the booking office at Camden Town Station. Diptrri/iiia 

 pinastii has been plentiful at sugar, as usual. — F. A. Newbery, 10, 

 Gillies Street, Haverstock Hill, N.W. September IWt, 1896. 



Five-spotted Burnet moth in Isle of Man. — I took a five- 

 spotted Burnet here this year for the first time. I never knew it 

 occurred here until this season. Zmiaena fiUpendidae is very common. 

 — H. Shortridge Clarke, F.E.S., Sulby Parsonage, Lezayre, Isle of 

 Man. 



Double broods of lepidoptera in Suffolk in 1896. — The most 

 peculiar point about the season of 1896 is — to my mind — the number 

 of double broods. (Ujaniris arniohis, July 28th, and into August, 

 extremely abundant. BreniMs selene, Xoctuabaia (■ ), Geometra papilio-

 September. — (Rev.) C. R. N. Burrows, Rainham Vicarage, Essex.

 several species to our local list, among others (roHcpteryx rhamni,
