﻿NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 125 



Vanessa antiopa in Norfolk. — It may be of interest to record 

 that on April 2nd a specimen of V. antiopa was taken at Holt, Nor- 

 folk, by Mr. Hanmer. One wing-tip was slightly damaged, but 

 otherwise the specimen was in good condition. — J. P. Heyworth ; 

 Woodbrook, Alderley Edge, Cheshire. 



Pyrameis atalanta in April. — On April 2nd last I saw a very 

 fresh specimen of P. atalanta, which I imagine must havs hibernated 

 in this locality. — G. Nobbs ; North Lodge, E. Cowes, Isle of Wight. 



Moths Captured by Light-trap at Ringwood. — The following 

 is a list of moths taken in my moth-trap here. It is 4 ft. square, 

 lighted by two incandescent gas lamps of 75 c.-p. each, and over- 

 looks an expanse (nearly a mile) of water-meadows (with river), 

 beyond which is a thick belt of wood ; beyond which again, but 

 quite out of sight, is an expanse of heath : — S. ligustri, S. populi, 

 N. cucullatella, C. viiniata, L. viesomella, L. Uirideola, E. crihrum, 

 E. jacobcBce, A. caia, A. villica, S. fuliginosa, S. lubricij^eda, S. men-

 C. populata, C. associata, E. cervinata, E.paliimbaria, E. bijyunctaria, 

 A. plagiata, C. spartiata. It will be noticed that cribrum, belgiaria, 

 myrtilli, hippocastanaria, and strigula have been attracted to the 

 light through, or over ('?), the intervening wood. The results given 

 above are for six years' use between May and November. My 

 experience is that the only consistently productive nights are when 

 there is a thunderstorm. Some other most promising nights some- 

 times yield no result. I believe S. maritima has not been recorded 

 hitherto from Hampshire. — C. E. Newnham ; Ringwood, Sep- 

 tember 14th, 1914.
