The " plumes " were represented by Pterophnrus hipuncUdactylus, a stray 
fuscodactyhis, parvidactylus, and microdactylus, the latter in abundance among 
hemp-agrimony. The only Eudorea was a large pale variety of E. pyralella, 
which was pretty common. Pyrausta ostrinalis and Herhida cwspitalis also occurred, 
the former being by no means scarce. 
We did not notice many Tineina ; Gelechia terrdla, Elachista cygnipennella, 
and, of course, rufocinerea, and Plidella cruciferarum, Glyphiptei-yx Fischeriella, 
swarming on grasses, were about all we saw in the perfect state. We met with 
cases of Coleophora anatipennella on sallow, and larvse of G. Mppophaella in 
terminal shoots of sea buckthorn. 
As for Macros, they were decidedly scarce, but a few Setina irrorella, a stray 
Acidalia ornata, and two or three Melanthia, ocellata, occurred. The larvae of 
Odonestis potatoria might have been gathered literally by pints, and we secured 
three or four of Lithosia complana, and, after a good deal of working, a very few 
larvse and pupae of Tapinostola Bondii. — J. L. Courtice, Camden Town, 
lUh June, 1867. 
Occurrence of Posdisca oppressana. — On the 12th and 1.3th inst. I visited 
Edmonton, and had the pleasure of boxing about a dozen specimens of this local 
Tortrix in the locality wherein my friend, Mr. PifFai-d, rediscovered it some years 
ago. — H. G. Knaggs, Kentish Town, June, 1867. 
New locality for Eupcecilia amhiguana. — I have had the good fortune to capture 
several specimens of this beautiful species in Tilgate forest. They were beaten 
out from undergi-owth.— E. G. Meek, la. Paradise Eow, Old Ford, E., June, 1867. 
Early appearance of Argyrolepm Duhrisana. — I captured two specimens of 
Argyrolepia Duhrisana on a railway embankment, near Tunbridge Wells, on 
Saturday last. May 25th. Surely this is unusually early, as I find July and August 
are given in Mr. Stainton's Manual as the months in which this insect appears. 
Can there be two broods ? — Thomas de Grey, 23, Arlington Street, Piccadilly, "W., 
June 1st, 1867. 
*#* Several instances have lately occurred of precocious appearances of 
several of the Tortricvna ; on the 1st June I saw Xanthosetia hamana and a very 
wasted Lozopera Smeathmanniana : a few days previously I was even more sur- 
prised to see an extremely wasted female of Cataclysta lemnata, it looked as if it 
must have been out several weeks.— H. T. S. 
Note on Catoptria aspidiscana.— At page 16, No. 37, Entomologist's Monthly 
Magazine, my friend Mr. Hodgkinson's note makes it appear that our new Catoptria 
had been worked out by me, when the credit of determining its specific position 
should have been given to Mr. Doubleday, who not only compared some of my 
specimens with veritable continental specimens in his European Collection, but 
also most kindly presented me with a foreign type of C. aspidiscoma for comparison ; 
I therefore feel it a duty incumbent upon me to say I am not entitled to the credit 
my friend would give me. — C. S. Gregson, Liverpool.
