I have captured in my garden a perfect Q. rhamni, beautifully striped with 

 alternate colours of the male and female. — Abraham Edmunds, Cemetery House, 

 Astwood Road, Worcester, October 24i/i, 1867. 



Heliothis peltigera at Easlemere. — On August 22nd last, I was looking round a 

 clover field at the top of a hill for Colias Edusa, which is never common here, when 

 a Noctita, evidently not Plusia gamma, rose at my feet and settled again a few 

 yards ofl", allowing me to secure it. To my great surprise it proved to be Heliothis 

 peltigera, in decent condition, a most unexpected piece of good fortune in that 

 exposed situation, and so late in the season. I worked long and often for more, 

 but without success. — Chas. G. Barbett, Haslemere, 13th November, 1867. 



Note on honeysuckle feeders. — It may be worthy of notice that, when searching 

 honey-suckle last May for larvse of Limenitis Sybilla, I found the larva of Pericallia 

 syringaria feeding on that plant, and also several of the curious (apparently) long- 

 tailed pupso spun up on the dry twigs. 



The larvES of Ha/rpella nemorella also occurred, feeding exposed on the shoots. 

 —Id. 



Phorodesma bajularia assembling. — One evening at the end of June, while 

 taking Phorodesma bajula/ria in one of the broad rides of Woolmer Forest, T observed 

 that several males fluttered one after the other over the same spot. Nothing was 

 visible there, but, on disturbing the matted honey-suckle which covered the ground 

 with my foot, a fine female — the only one I have taken — fluttered out, and was 

 secured. She appeared to have as great a power of " assembling " as some of the 

 Bombyces. — Id. 



Tineina at Haslemere in 1867. — Tinea ferruginella — Several specimens flying 

 in the afternoon among Epilobium angustifolium. An odd fancy for a Tinea. 



Micropteryx Salopiella — Common among birch. Sparmannella — Generally found 

 among stunted birch bushes on the hills. 



Nemophora Metaxella — Rather common among alders in damp woods. 



Yponomeuta vigintipitnctata. — Larva common on Sedum telephium in Sep- 

 ember and October. In some cases the web was made on the ground, and the 

 larvae retreated among the moss and stones when disturbed. 



Eidophasia Messingiella — Dr. Knaggs took a specimen when visiting here. 



Depressaria assimilata — Flying commonly about broom bushes in a ■v/ood path, 

 one evening in June. Olerella — in thatch, spring and autumn. 



Gelechia scriptella — Blown off an apple-tree trunk in June. 



Macrochila fasciella — May. Beaten from undergrowth near sloe bushes.
