Danais Archippus {Anosia Flexippus) in Dorsetshire. — A coaatguardsman 

 (whose name I failed to note down), stationed at the Haven, Poole Harbour, in 

 1877, shewed me, in a wall-case, some insects he had caught there within a year or 

 two of that date. Among them was a Danais Archippus. I told him it had 

 probably flown ashore from some inbound vessel, and that butterfly amateurs would 

 be willing to offer a good price for the specimen on account of the locality of its 

 capture.— A. E. Eaton, Addingham, Penrith: November 2nd, 1885. 



[It is just possible that the history of this specimen can be traced. Also it is 

 quite possible that after this record, "this specimen" may re-appear in several 

 quarters : verbum sap. ! — Eds.] 



Acherontia Atropos at Caledon, Co. Tyrone.— On September 19th, a very fine 

 specimen of A. Atropos was brought to me by a workman of this city, who informed 

 me that it had been caught by his son-in-law in a lodging house at Caledon. This is 

 the first time that this insect has been recorded as captured in this vicinity. It is a 

 very large specimen, measuring exactly five inches from tip to tip of its extended 

 wings.— W. F. Johnson, Armagh, Ireland : November, 1885. 



Fterostoma palpina in Roxburghshire. -On the 28th of last June I took a fine 

 and perfect 3 specimen of Fterostoma palpina, apparently freshly emerged, from 

 inside the window of the front porch here. This I think is worthy of record, as I 

 believe this species has not hitherto been recorded for Scotland. - A. Elliot, 

 Caverton, Eoxburgh : November 9th, 1885. 



rOur correspondent is mistaken in thinking Ft. palpina had not previously 

 been recorded in Scotland. In the '' Scottish Naturalist," vol. ii, p. 87, Dr. Buchanan 

 White indicates that it has been found in the districts of Tweed, lay, Moray, Solway, 

 and Clyde.— Eds.] O
