100 LEPIDOPTERA. 



in Essex, one in Norfolk, one in Lancashire, and one in 

 Northumberland (Int. ii. 181, 182, 190; iii. 12, 13). 



Argynnis Lathonia; has been captured at Margate, 

 Chatham and Colchester (Int. ii. 182, 188). 



Steropes Paniscus; has occurred in two quite new 

 localities, Netley Abbey, near Southampton, and Charlbury, 

 in Oxfordshire; and also at Kettering, in Northamptonshire. 



Smerinthus ocellatus and Populi; hybrids of these 

 two species have been bred by Mr. Hague (Int. ii. 188) ; 

 they all made their appearance in the perfect state, nine 

 weeks after the exclusion of the larva from the egg;. 



Sphinx Convolvuli ; has occurred in several localities, 

 most of the specimens were taken between the 25th of Sep- 

 tember and 5th of October. In 1846, the bulk of the cap- 

 tures were made in the first fortnight of September. 



Deilephila Galii; has been again met with, both in the 

 perfect state, and also as larvae (Int. ii. 182, 187, 188). 



Deilephila Euphorbia ; has been industriously sought 

 on Braunton Burrows, by Messrs. M. A. and G. F. Mathews, 

 who examined acre after acre of the food plant, but without 

 success. The capture of a specimen of the perfect insect at 

 Taunton has been recorded (Int. iii. 29). 



Ch^erocampa Nerii ; Brighton has again produced this 

 conspicuous insect (Int. ii. 172). 



Trochilium chrysidiforme ; has again been taken 

 near Folkestone. 



Cerura bicuspis; this insect appears to be gradually 

 turning up in many parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire ; the 

 empty cocoons are hardly now considered as rarities. 



Lophopteryx Carmelita ; was taken rather freely last 

 spring, at West Wickham Wood, and the consequent rarity 

 of the insect has been much impaired. 



Petasia nubeculosa; continues to be taken in some
