days rising as high as 56° and 57°, and keeping above 50° throughout 
the night—the sort of temperature one expects towards the end of 
May—but on the 6th it became cold again, and to-day there has been 
the heaviest fall of snow we have had for some years. The moth 
looks as if it had been out for some days, so it most likely emerged 
during the very warm weather we had at the beginning of the month.

BAPTA BIMACULATA IN LINCOLNSHIRE.—I have taken B. bimaculata 
here in 1906, 1907, and 1908. These constitute, I believe, the only 
records for this moth for Lincolnshire.— Savienac B. STEDMAN; 
Binbrook, Market Rasen, Lincoln. 
DyYSCHORISTA SUSPECTA IN SuRREY.—My brother very kindly 
sugars for me in Surrey, and last July he sent me a series of nearly 
twenty specimens of Dyschorista suspecta, captured near Effingham. 
As suspecta is always described as a northern insect, this record may 
be worth insertion.—Savieanac B. SrEDMAN. 
[This species was taken pretty freely in the New Forest, Hamp- 
shire, in 1896; it has also been recorded from other southern 
counties.—ED. | 
Notes FRoM HASLEMERE FOR 1908.—In continuation of my notes 
for 1906-7 (vide Entom. vol. xli. p. 157), the following may be of 
interest :—Limenitis sibylla has been observed in more than one 
spot about here, and I imagine it is quite firmly established. I had 
no opportunity of obtaining the larvee, but hope to do so this year. 
On June 15th I obtained ova of Cenonympha pamphilus in large 
numbers, and the larve began to emerge on June 28th. They all fed 
very slowly, and none pupated in the autumn. I have kept them 
supplied with grass all the winter, and they appear to have been 
eating in very small quantities without any break. The largest is now 
little more than half an inch long. Two female specimens of Callo- 
phrys rubi deposited about forty ova on laburnum shoots on May 
29th. The resultant larvee appeared on June oth, and fed up success- 
fully on the flowers and later on the leaves of broom. The first one 
pupated on July 14th. Larve of Zephyrus quercus, beaten on June 
3rd, appeared to be even more than usually ichneumoned, but I got 
through some fine imagines on July 5th and following days. After 
diligent searching in their known haunts I succeeded in finding ova 
on Nov. 4th. Spring forms of Cyaniris argiolus began to emerge on 
April 4th, though the first date on which I saw wild ones was May 
97th. A brood of larvz, which hatched on June 6th, and which 
began to pupate on July 11th, produced some imagines on July 30th, 
but several of the pupze stood over the winter. It was difficult, 
especially during the later stages, to procure holly blossoms, but the 
larvee, though preferring the flowers, very readily ate the young holly 
leaves. 
Among interesting captures by day may be mentioned :—Hylo- 
phila prasinana, H. bicolorana, Lithosia mesomella, Nemeophila 
russula, Hepialus humuli, Drepana binaria, Heliaca tenebrata, Eras- 
tria fasciana, Hpione advenaria, Metrocampa margaritaria, Hurymene 
dolabraria, Numeria pulveraria, Bupalus piniaria, Pachyenemia hip-
