NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 315 



Louis B. Prout kindly identified the specimen, wliicli is (^'onerally 

 darker and has the central band broader than the figure in ' Motlis 

 of the British Isles.' — Frank Littlewood ; 22, Highgato, Kendal. 



Additions to the Gloucestershire List. — On June 28th, 

 1913, I boxed a male specimen of the Hippopotamus Tortrix 

 [Epihlema {EphippipJiora) turhidana) on the bank of the Stroud 

 Canal at Framilode. On July 17th, 1913, I netted a specimen of 

 Batrachedm pinicolclla in the Forest of Dean. I am indebted to 

 Mr. E. Meyrick, F.E.S., for identifying the specimers. As far as I 

 can ascertain, neither of these species has been hitherto recorded 

 from this county. — C. Granville Clutterbuck. 



COLIAS EDUSA AND SpHINX CONVOLVULI IN GLAMORGANSHIRE. — 



On August 26th, 1913, I took a freshly emerged male specimen of 

 Colias ediLsa in a clover field at Southerndown, near Bridgend, and 

 on the following day my wife saw another on the cliffs there. On 

 September 1st I found a female specimen of Sphinx convolmdi at rest 

 on the wooden pailings outside the Earl of Dunraven's park. It was 

 in good condition except for a piece chipped out of one hind wing. — 

 C. Granville Clutterbuck, F.E.S. ; 23, Heathville Koad, Gloucester, 

 October 6th, 1913. 



CoLiAs EDUSA IN Kent. — During the last half of August this 

 year Golias cdusa was very common. I could easily have caught 

 about three hundred in the lucerne fields. I secured a fine series ; 

 amongst them were twelve fine var. helice. One specimen, a giant 

 female, bad large markings in the black borders, and the ground 

 colour was bright light yellow. — R. H. Rattray (Colonel) ; 

 Tonbridge. 



CoLiAS EDUSA IN THE CiTY. — Whilst standing outside Fish- 

 mongers' Hall on September 8th I noticed a specimen of C. edusa 

 coming from the direction of King WiUiam Street. It flew over 

 London Bridge about 8 to 10 ft. from the ground along the middle of 

 the roadway. — S. Webb ; Dover. 



CoLiAS EDUSA IN Hants.— On August 28th last— a hot and 

 sunny day — I saw a specimen of Golias edusa flying in the street at 

 Ryde, Isle of Wight, and on September 3rd, a fine, though chilly day 

 in contrast, another was seen at Gosport. — Joseph Anderson; 

 Chichester, Sussex. 



CoLiAS EDUSA IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE. — Yesterday a friend, Mr. F. 

 Hardwick, brought me a living specimen of G. edusa (male) which he 

 had captured in the Fleam Dykes, near Cambridge, on October 12th. 

 It was in poor condition, and we subsequently released it. May I add 

 a record of G. edusa which I nearly captured at Chippenham this 

 year on June 2nd. — W. R. Taylor; Jesus College, Cambridge, 

 October 13th, 1913. 



Colias edusa in Sussex. — Golias edusa has been very abundant 

 here (Bexhill) this season. I took the first on August 16th, soon 

 after I came here ; they were evidently emerging then in the clover
