capture A. merciiriale in Somerset next season. A record of five 

 dragonflies new to the Somerset list will appear in the Transactions of 

 the Sonu'iset Archaeological and Xat. Hist. Soc. — (Capt.) R. Troup, The 

 Grove, Wembdon, Bridgwater. JuUi 21.s<, 1921. 



Second brood of 0. sambucaria. — Ourapteryx sambucaria put in an 

 autumn brood early in October, 3 <? s coming into the house here at 

 Wembdon ; Hepialus hij)ulina was also taken in the garden, but I 

 unfortunately did not record the date and cannot now remember 

 whether it was the end of September or early in October. — Id. 



The White Border of Euvanessa antiopa. — I should like to 

 mention that hybernated specimens of this species were not uncommon 

 at sallow-blooms, near Wiesbaden, in the spring of 1888, all of such 

 that I netted and released having white borders. A short series 

 obtained later m the same year, there, of the freshly emerged examples, 

 all have deep cream-coloured borders, and have retained this tint in 

 the cabinet, up to the present time. — R. M. Prideaux, Brasted Chart, 

 Kent. — fanuary ith, 1922. 



The White Border in Euvanessa antiopa. — Mr. J. H. Durrant 

 informs me that Camp 44, from which Lord Walsingham's specimen 

 with defective scales came, was in California, Siskiyou, Winchester, 

 81, vii. — 1, viii., 1871. This is near Mount Shasta. The majority of 

 these abnormal antiopa seem to be from boreal, or mountainous 

 localities. — E. A. Cockayne.
