Lepidopteba at Sallows at Windeemere. — On the mild nights 

 following the March east wind, sallows were very productive at 

 Windermere. I visited a large sallow-bush on the evening of April 

 1st, on' which the TtCniocampae literally swarmed. Of vmnda, 

 scarcely two were alike, and some varieties were very extreme. 

 Good varieties of opima and incerta were present, and cruda, gothica, 

 populcti, and rubricosa fell in showers. The best captures, however, 

 were Galocampa exoleta and T. leucograplia. Exoleta is a rare insect 

 at Windermere, and this pilgrim, a perfect specimen, was made very 

 welcome. Leucograplia, although resident in the district, has not 

 been seen of late. The captured specimen was a male. Street- 

 lamps, on March 29th, were very prolific. Ampliidasys prodromaria 

 seemed more than usually common, and I saw some exceptionally 

 light and dark specimens. Anticlea badiata and Polyploca flavicornis 

 were quite fresh, but Hybernia marg inaria and Anisopteryx CBScularia 

 were very worn. — Helena Brockbank ; 22, Holly Terrace, Winder- 

 mere, April 3rd, 1911. 



The Entomological Club. — Two meetings of this Club were 

 held during March last : one on the 21st, at " Wellfield," Lingards 

 Eoad, Lewisham, the residence of Mr. Eobert Adkin ; the other, on 

 the 24th, at 58, Kensington Mansions, South Kensington, the resi- 

 dence of Mr. Horace Donisthorpe.
