CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 185 
{ was, however, somewhat surprised to find on the following Monday 
morning that the greater number had hatched out. This certainly 
seemed a very short time for duration of the egg-stage—five and a 
half days.—(Rev.) J. E. Tarsat; Fareham, Hants, June 24th, 1909. 
OccuRRENCE OF P. monETA.—For the last eight years I have 
looked out plants of Delphiniwm in this neighbourhood for traces of 
the larve of P. moneta without success. This month, however, I 
have found or had brought to me sixteen cocoons, so that the species 
is evidently still extending its range. It has been taken in the 
county for some years, but to my own knowledge not so far west.— 
(Rey.) J. E. Tarpat; Fareham, Hants, June 24th, 1909. 
[This species has been recorded from the New Forest.—ED.] 
Tae Enromonoaican Crus.—A meeting was held at the Savage 
Club, Adelphi Terrace, on May 20th last, Mr. H. Rowland-Brown in

CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 
EURYMENE DOLABRARIA IN CUMBERLAND.—As there have been 
few records of this moth in the North of England, it may perhaps 
be of interest to record that I captured a specimen on the wing, on 
June 3rd, at Tarn Lodge.—GrorcEe B. RournEpGE; Tarn Lodge, 
Headsnook, Carlisle, June 4th, 1909. 
GONODONTIS (ODONTOPERA) BIDENTATA AB. NIGRA IN SuRREY.—I 
have to record the capture, by myself, of a male G. ab. nigra 
(Prout) on May 31st, 1909. The specimen was at rest on the tarred 
fence surrounding Waverly Woods, Surrey. Is not this a record for 
Surrey? I have never heard of it being taken so far south. I see 
that Yorkshire and Lancashire are given as localities in ‘ Moths of 
the British Isles,” series ii., p. 278—Crcm Worssam; Hillside, 
St. Albans. 
ARGYROLEPIA SCHREIBERSIANA IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE. — On June 
3rd last I went into Cambridgeshire to look for some A. schrevbers- 
zana, but it was a very cold day, wind north-east, and I did not expect 
to do much good. After examining a great many trunks of elm, I 
was successful in taking two specimens, and was about to return 
home, when I came to a small whitethorn bush, which I beat for 
larve. To my great surprise and pleasure I found three A. schrezbers- 
zana at the first beating, and was successful in taking eighteen in all. 
The cold had evidently driven them into the bush for shelter. I think 
this is a record catch of this rare and pretty little Tortrix for one
