THIS ENTOMOLOGIST. 



It has not yet been possible to arrive at the total number of 

 specimens contained in the Vanghan collection, but this is very- 

 great, and it may be mentioned that the insects are placed in 

 ten cabinets, with an aggregate of 258 drawers. 



Some of the most interesting of the insects are as 

 follows : 



19 Chrysopkanus dispar. 

 7 Nomiades seviiargus. 

 9 Deilephila galii, one labelled " Taken at Easton, Bristol, 1836, 



Parsons." 

 3 D. euphorbia, one labelled " Taken on the coast near Swansea." 

 (The Bristol Museum already possesses a specimen from 



Braunton Burrows, with Eaddon's name on label ; this 



formed part of the Stephen Barton collection.) 

 3 Charocampa celerio, all locally captured. 

 1 Smerinthus populi, gynandromorpb, right side ? , left side ^

specimen in Leigh Woods in 1856 : the first British specimen 

 was taken by Mr. Metford on a slope near the river in May, 

 1837, and presented l)y the captor to the Rev. H. Burney ; 

 the second was taken by Mr. H. Bolt in June, 1856).

 in the ' Zoologist,' 1850, from specimens taken at Brislington.

3 Ornix scoticella. Stainton says of this species : " More 

 peculiarly a northern insect, though it occurs at Bristol," 

 ' N.U. Tineina,' vol. viii, p. 258. Unfortunately these speci- 

 mens are not labelled. 

 18 Elacliistco zonariella. Stainton remarks: "In the south of 

 England this has only been met with by Mr. Sircom, near 

 Bristol." Mr. Vaughan also took a few on the banks of the
