CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 215 



Counties of England,' vol. i. Insecta, p. 138, where it is stated that 

 this species was once taken by Mr. Sydney Webb near Dorking. — 

 Richard South; 96, Drakefield Eoad, Upper Tooting, S.W. 



Limacodes testudo in Gloucestershire. — As I find that Mr. Barrett 

 does not mention this county as a locality for this species, it may be of 

 interest to record that a very fine female example was beaten out of an 

 oak-tree on June 5th last near here by the Rev. E. M. Smith.— C. 

 Granville Clutterbuck ; Gloucester. 



Cymatophora octogesima (ocularis) in Epping Forest. — It may be 

 of interest to record the capture of two specimens of C. octogesima, one 

 on the evening of June 30th, and the other on the following evening 

 (July 1st). I believe that this species is found, as far as Epping 

 Forest is concerned, only at the south end of the wood, and my two 

 were taken on sugar in the garden at " Normanhurst," Chingford, 

 where I am residing. I might mention that I took the female on 

 June 30th, and, thinking that a male might be in the neighbourhood, 

 I sugared again on the following night, and was successful in taking a 

 very good example of that sex. I believe there are few records of 

 0. octogesima having been taken in Epping Forest. — R. T. Baumann. 



Leucania favicolor, Barrett. — A fine example of this species flew 

 into my room, attracted by the light, on July 4th, at 10.50 p.m. An 

 example of the red form, ab. rufa, Tutt, flew into the same room, and 

 at about the same time, last September. Of the six or seven individuals 

 which I have previously captured at different times here, all have been 

 ab. rufa. I am indebted to Mr. Eustace Bankes for having last autumn 

 first called my attention to the fact that I had taken favicolor, always 

 having supposed these red forms to be a variety of L. pallens, and I 

 think it quite probable that I have hitherto overlooked the type. — 

 (Rev.) A. P. Waller ; Henley Rectory, Woodbridge, July 19th, 1905. 



Aporia crat5lgi. — Lovers of the Diurni will be pleased to learn 

 that the present season has been the best I have known for the " black- 

 veined white" since I first took it in this corner of Kent in 1901. On 

 June 28th I went prospecting. This means discovering an orchard, 

 with a clover field adjoining, preferably white Dutch clover, for the 

 combination of these two things appears a requisite in order to get 

 more than a stray specimen. I was lucky enough to capture a single 

 male specimen which had just emerged from the chrysalis, and was 

 quite limp, and which fell an easy prey outside an orchard of big 

 plum-trees. On July 3rd (the first sunny day afterwards) I got to the 

 clover field nearest the spot, and bagged sixteen. Rain and cloud kept 

 me at home for several days, and at my next visit the clover had been 

 cut, and this necessitated a long walk in the broiling sun, for the 

 "combination" is not common. However, I discovered another field, 

 where I beat record, and secured twenty-one specimens. Again the 

 horse-mower dogged my heels, and sport was gone. A third spot was 

 discovered, and that field produced a dozen. I had to make haste, for 

 the driver was having his dinner preparatory to cutting, in this case, a 

 crop of mixed red clover and lucerne. Last Monday I got a few stray 

 specimens, but when I reached my fifty I decided to leave the rest in 

 peace. — J. P. Barrett ; St. John's Villas, Margate, July 12th, 1905.
