148 LEPIDOPTERA. 



intimation of all noYelties and rarities captured, but the 

 Altrincham and Bowdon Entomological Society, undeterred 

 by the loss of three hundred and eighty pounds which attended 

 the previous speculation, and though forewarned they must 

 expect a loss of fifty pounds per annum, have boldly started 

 a successor to the *' Intelligencer" in the form of '^ The 

 Weekly Entomologist," of which the first number appeared 

 on Saturday, August 16th, 1862; and since that date we 

 should imagine that all to whom the existence of this w^eekly 

 journal (Price Twopence) was known would have commu- 

 nicated all captures and notes likely to be of interest to the 

 entomological community. 



It is no use for Entomoloo'ists to treat entomolomcai iour- 

 nals as mankind are so apt to behave to their relations and 

 friends — to grumble at them whilst living and mourn them 

 when dead. 



Whether the new weekly journal will have a Cossus-like 

 or an ephemei-al duration we cannot foi'esee ; but assuredly 

 it has our best wishes, and we are sorry that it does not yet 

 seem to be so generally known as might have been expected. 



ToxocAMPA Cracc.^, Wiener Verzeichniss. 

 (Figure 3.) 



The Rev. E. Horton, of Lower Wick, Worcester, took 

 four specimens of this species on the north coast of Devon, 

 July 24 — 28, 1861. Allied to Toxocampa Pastinuvi, but 

 easily distinguished by the yellowish-white veins of the 

 anterior wings, and by the black spots on the costa. 



The larva is stated to feed on Vicia multifiora. Mr. 

 Horton obtained some larvae this summer, wdiicli he pre- 

 sumes are referable to this species, fi-om the locality in which 

 he captured the imago, and these were found on V'lcla stjl- 

 vaticci, which grows abundantly in the locality.
