406 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Surrey. — A specimen in fair condition 

 was brought to me by Eric Mackney, the moth having been taken in 

 a shop in Kingston-on-Thames on October 11th last. — W. J. Lucas ; 

 Kingston-on-Thames. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Worcestershire. — A specimen of S, 

 convolvuli was brought me ahve and in fairly good condition on Sep- 

 tember 22nd. The species has been taken here before, but not often. 

 We are far inland, quite the middle of England. — (Kev.) A. Day ; The 

 Vicarage, Malvern Link. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Bedfordshire. — It may be of interest 

 to note that I had a fine female S. convolvuli brought to me on Sep- 

 tember 19th last. The specimen was quite stiff, and had apparently 

 been dead about a fortnight. It was discovered on a book in an office 

 in Luton, Beds.— L. G. Higgins ; Furzedown, Harpenden, Herts. 



Sphinx convolvuli in the Isle of Man. — I have just received 

 a specimen of S. convolvuli taken alive this September by a friend on 

 the sea coast near Port Erin, Isle of Man. This locality is interesting 

 to record in connection with those mentioned in the ' Entomologist ' 

 for August.— E. O. Croft, M.D., F.E.S.; 28, Clarendon Road, Leeds, 

 October 5th, 1911. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Hants. — Mr. Cecil Haig has asked me to 

 record the capture of eight specimens of S. convolvuli, four males and 

 four females, from August 21st to September 11th, at Exbury, Hants. 

 They were brought to him by a friend who took the moths, which 

 had flown into his house. Other specimens were seen in the garden, 

 but were not taken. — E. S. A. Baynes ; 120, Warwick Street, S.W. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Isle of Wight. — During the last week 

 in August and the first week of September numbers of S. convolvnli 

 were seen hovering around the tobacco plants in our garden at Ryde. 

 They were exceedingly difficult to catch, and I only managed to 

 capture two specimens, one of which came to light in a room. — 

 A. C. Morris ; Gibson's Hill, Upper Norwood. 



Sphinx convolvuli at Manchester. — On September 5th an 

 example of S. convolvuli was captured in a narrow street in Ancoats, 

 Manchester, by one of the juvenile members of the Heyrod Street 

 Lads' Club. This unusual visitor to Ancoats is now preserved in the 

 Club " Museum." — T. A. Coward ; Bowdon, Cheshire. 



Sphinx convolvuli in North Devon. — -Mr. K.Rhodes, of Bowdon, 

 has shown me a specimen of S. convolvuli, captured at Woolacombe 

 Bay, North Devon, on August 24th. — A. W. Boyd ; The Alton, 

 Altrincham, Cheshire, October 19th, 1911. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Surrey. — Two female specimens of S. 

 convolvuli were captured at light on August 25th. A clump of 

 Nicotiana affinis was growing in the border just below the window, 

 and a male was taken at the flowers on September 1st ; other 

 specimens were also noticed at the flowers during the early part of 

 the month. — B. Harold Smith ; Edgehill, Warlingham, Surrey.
