brought me from one farm. This, of course, represents only a small pro- 

 portion of the actual number of purse, as the machine only turns ov^r the 

 ridges without disturbing the furrows.— F. C. Woodforde. 



CoLiAS EDusA IN N. Staffordshirk. — On Sept. 13th I saw and 



captured a male C. edusa. This was the only specimen I personally saw, 



though I heard of several being seen by others in the neighbourhood. — 

 F. C. Woodforde. 



CoLiAS EDUSA IN N. Walks.— In the first fortnight of June I saw two 

 or three female C. edusa on the Carnarvonshire coast. I caught and 

 examined a couple and set them free. — F. C. Woodforde. 



Colias edusa in 1900. — A few specimens of C. edusa have occurred 

 in this neighbourhood. One was seen by my wife in our garden at New- 

 town towards the end of July ; and several more turned up a couple of 

 miles further up the Severn valley. On Aug. 31st: I saw a fine male on 

 the roadside, on the border of Montgomeryshire and Salop. I also observed 

 specimens of this butterfly near Northampton, in August; and one male 

 specimen in Lincolnshire, near Biigg, on Sept. l"2th. — A. S. Tetlky ; 

 Newtown, N. Wales, Dec. 15lh, 1900. 



Macroglossa stell.\tarum at Cranbrook, KtiNT. — This species was 

 again very common during last season ; several could be seen at once on a 

 large bed of scarlet geraniums and a large bed of petunias, in a nursery 

 garden near here. A specimen was seen as late as Nov. '^Tth, although 

 the early part of the month had been very wet and windy. — A. Marshall; 

 Cranbrook, Kent, Jan. I8th, 1901. 



NoNAGRiA NEDRicA VAR. DissoLUTA, Treitschke. — Several examples of 

 this black varietv of N. neurica were taken in the neighbourhood of Need- 

 ham Market, Suffolk, in August last. This is a fresh locality, I believe, 

 for this species. The Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, in his Catalogue of the 

 Lepidoptera of Suffolk, gives Lakenheath and Lowestoft only, and says it 

 is local and rare. — Gkrvase F. Mathew; Dovercourt, Essex, Jan. 9th. 



Hemerobius stigma (limbatus) in December. — On Dec. 16th last, 

 I took from a small fir-tree on Esher Common, a single specimen of H. 

 stigma. It was rather small, and the wings somewhat darker than usual. 

 It must, I suppose, be looked upon as an early arrival owing to the mild 

 weather, rather than a late survival. — W. J. Lucas. 



Ch(Erocampa NERii IN SCOTLAND.— Mr. And. Adie Dalglish, of Pollock- 

 shields, records a specimen of this fine hawk-moth as having been taken by 

 " a farm servant, who saw it alight on a sheaf of corn in a field near 

 Barrhead, about the end of Seotember." He adds that a specimen, 

 previously recorded, was taken m September, 1886, at Glasoow (Ann. Scott' 

 Nat. Hibt., No. 37, p 52). 



Cleora glabraria in Scotland.— Referring to the note under this 

 headmg, ante, p. 21, it may be worth recording ihat I have taken this 

 species several times in Argyllshire during the last four years, iu each case 

 durmg the first fortnight in August. These Scotch specimens do not 

 appear to differ in any respect from those I have taken in the New Forest
