CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 67 
pocastanaria, Coremia designata, Cidaria suffumata, and Chesias 
rufata. 
Larve of the following, among others, were taken :—Notodonta 
ziczac, Thyatira batis, Gortyna ochracea, Panolis piniperda, Miselia 
oxyacanthe, Agriopis aprilina, Hadena protea ; and ova were obtained 
from Pecilocampa populi, Epunda nigra, Corenna designata, Chesias 
spartvata, and many others. 
From the street-lamps the most noteworthy captures were :— 
Pecilocampa popult (in greater profusion than ever before within my 
experience), Notodonta dictea, N. trimacula, Polyploca flavicornis, 
Demas coryli, Asteroscopus sphinx, EHupithecia pulchellata, H. succen- 
taureata, Cidaria siterata, C. miata, C. suffwmata, C. silaceata vay. 
msulata, and Aniatis plagiata. 
Sugaring in my garden produced :— Acronycta psi, A. aceris, 
Dipterygia scabriuscula, Apamea basilinea, A. gemina, Miana strigilis, 
M. fasciuncula, Rusina tenebrosa, Noctua festiva, Orthosia lota, Ceras- 
tis vaccini, C. ligula, Scopelosoma satellitia, Xanthia cerago var. 
flavescens, Epunda nigra, Miselia oxyacanthe, Agriopis aprilina, 
Aplecta prasina, A. miata, Hadena protea, H. thalassina, Calocampa 
exoleta, and Xylina semibrunnea.. It is perhaps worth recording that 
a friend of mine, who was sugaring almost every night about three 
miles from my house, took two specimens of Cymatophora fluctuosa. 
In most cases I have made no mention of the species taken by me 
here in previous years, the majority of which turned up again. But 
the interesting list of new species taken by my friend and myself in 
1908 leads us to regard this as a very favourable locality, and we hope 
to be able to work it even more thoroughly this year. — I’. A. Oup-

ENTOMOLOGY IN CoRNWALL AND Devon In Juny, 1908.—Contrary 
to my usual custom of spending my holiday on the Continent, I last 
season decided to give old England another trial. Having re-read a 
very interesting article by Mr. A. E. Gibbs in the ‘Entomologist’ 
(vol. xxxix.) ona holiday he spent at Polzeath, and what specimens 
he collected there, I decided to follow out Mr. Gibbs’s directions, and 
accordingly caught the 6.20 a.m. train from Waterloo (a comfortable 
corridor), which did not stop between London and Salisbury. At 
Okehampton we had to change into a slower train, but the scenery 
being so beautiful one did not regret the slower progress. I reached 
Wadebridge at one o’clock; it had been raining, and I at once . 
inquired at the station about a conveyance for getting my stock of 
treacle, carbide, ‘‘ setting house,” and other heavy luggage taken the 
seven miles. As luck would have it there was a carrier going that 
way there and then. I next asked about accommodation; one man 
informed me he knew of no place where one could stay, but the 
carrier’s boy, who now came upon the scene, informed me that there 
was a lady who “took people in,” and I felt greatly relieved until the 
boy added he did not know if the lady in question was “full up” or 
not. However, I decided to risk it, and immediately made for the 
Station Hotel, and, having lunched, the rain seeming over, I mounted 
my bike and made a start. After a mile or so the rain came on again 
so much so that I took shelter under some trees; after some time I
