NOTES, CAPTUKES, ETC. 279 



Ephestia kuhniella. — This insect being quite an important 

 pest, it is the more desirable that there should be no inaccuracy 

 in what is published concerning it ; and I therefore pray that I 

 may be allowed at once to rectify an error which appears in the 

 Proc. South London Entom. and Nat. Hist. Soc. for 1887, which 

 I have received to-day. On p. 58 I am stated to have exhibited 

 larvae (which afterwards proved to be E. kiihniella) , and to have 

 remarked concerning them that they lived in flour which had 

 been shipped from America to Trieste, and thence to London. 

 What I really did say, was that the larvse then exhibited were 

 in flour from America, but that they were supposed to have 

 come from some Trieste flour in the same warehouse, which was 

 likewise badl}' infected. Full details concerning this particular 

 lot of flour, and the larvfe infesting it, were published in ' The 

 Miller,' 1887, p. 44G, by Mr. S. T. Klein.— T. D. A. Cockerell ;

ToRTRix piceana IN Hants. — Tovtrix piceana has been re- 

 discovered in the New Forest, by Mr. Charles Gulliver, Ramnor 

 Enclosure, Brockenhurst. When visiting him a month or so 

 ago, I noticed some among his odds and ends, and pointed it out 

 to him as remarkable. He kindly gave me three specimens. —

Lepidoptera in Hants. — I arrived in the New Forest on 

 August 11th last. Next day, Sunday, was damp with a fine 

 drizzling rain, but I managed to get a good walk to Lyndhurst 

 and back. Monday proved a very sunny, bright day, although a 

 strong wind was blowing. I had my net, bottle, and a small 

 collecting-box with me ; and so, having procured a waggonette, 

 set out for a long drive in the forest, going first through the 

 villages of Bartley and Minstead, and out upon Stony Cross, 

 until we reached Boldre, Mark Ash, and Knight woods ; passing 

 out of which we came upon the Bournemouth road, and home 

 through Lyndhurst. Argynnis loapliia was abundant everywhere; 

 in fact, in some places it absolutely swarmed, the blossom of the 

 bramble apparently being very attractive both to this and many 

 other species, including A. adippe, Limenitis sibylla, Thecla 

 qmrcus and Lyccena argiolus, of which I saw one specimen in 

 Boldre Wood. At the same spot I saw four Argynnis valesinai 

 two of which proved on capture to be rather worn. A single
