NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



Selenia tetralunaria (illustraria) in Scotland. — I see that Mr. 

 C. G. Barrett, in his ' Lepidoptera of the British Islands,' with regard 

 to S. tetralunaria, so far as Scotland is concerned, merely states that 

 "In Dr. Buchanan White's ' List of Scottish Lepidoptera ' this species 

 is recorded as occurring at Rannoch, Perthshire, but no particulars are 

 given, and confirmation seems desirable." I conclude from this that 

 records of this species in Scotland are desired, and I have much 

 pleasure in placing on record the fact that on April 2oth this year I 

 bred a fine male specimen from a larva taken by me last September 

 near Dunkeld, Perthshire, — Francis C. Woodbridge; Northcroft, Corn- 

 wall Road, Uxbridge, Middlesex. 



Zonosoma pendularia in October. — At the end of October last I 

 bred a specimen of Z. peiulularla from a larva taken by me in the 

 preceding August at Kingussie, Inverness-shire; I took other larvae 

 of this species at the same time as that which emerged in October, 

 but the imagines from them have not yet appeared. Is it not some- 

 what unusual for Z. pendularia to appear in October ? My pupte are 

 all kept in an outhouse, and the October specimen could not have 

 been forced in any way. — Francis C. Woodbridge. 



A Correction. — The drawing that I exhibited at the meeting of 

 the South Loudon Entomological and Nat. Hist. Society on February 

 14th represented a variety of P. bellaryus, and not of P. iearus as stated 

 in the report of that meeting {ante, p. 134).— C. W. Colthrup, 127, 

 Barry Road, East Dulwich. 



The Pairing of Euchloe cardamines. — In a lane near here, a 

 female specimen of E. cardamines was seen, settled and perfectly 

 quiescent, on a flower-head of hedge-garlic mustard, when a male 

 specimen, flying down the lane, made straight for the female, and 

 pairing instantly ensued. A note was made of the occurrence, it 

 being most unusual, in my experience, for butterflies to pair at such
