210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Herefordshire. — A great many seen; P. T. Home. 



Northumberland. — Many seen on banks of Tyne and its 

 tributaries, also on the coast, chiefly from 20th to end of 

 June ; W. Maling. 



Durham. — June 3rd to 14th quite commonly; A. Mitchel. 

 " 1 know now of scores seen or taken in this county, while I 

 question if half a dozen autumnal stragglers have been taken 

 during the last twenty years. 1 have a letter to-day, from 

 Berwickshire, from a collector who has taken ten, including 

 a pair in cop. ; John E. Robson." 



Roxburghshire. — One very fine specimen, June 17th, at 

 Jedburgh ; A. Elliott. 



Two errors inadvertently occurred in the list of localities 

 published last month. Mr. H. Goss' captures were in Ash- 

 down Forest and East Grinstead, on June 8th ; and between 

 Cheesinglon and Leatherhead, June 9th, Mr. Reeks points 

 out that Thruxton is in Hampshire, and not in Norfolk as 

 printed: he adds, — "On June 19th I took a beautifully fresh 

 pair of Colias Edusa in cop., which will, I think, prove they 

 had not hibernated."— John T. Carrington. 



Colias Edusa Bred. — JuneOlh, lemale captured; 8th, eggs 

 laid on Medicugo lupulina ; 14th, eggs hatched. July 7th 

 (afternoon), two larvae fixed for changing; 9th (morning), two 

 perfect pupa); 2Ist (12 to 1 p.m.), two males emerged. I 

 distributed some seventy or eighty eggs, and have now 

 seventeen larvae, ninety-three pupae, and have bred two 

 imagos ; but owing to the roaming habits of the larvae in 

 finding some convenient ledge on which to pupate, several 

 were lost. The larvae were fed almost exclusively on lucerne 

 {Medicago saliva) and while clover [Tri/olium reperis). This 

 is, I believe, the first instance of Colias Edusa being reared 

 in this country. — Edward A. Fitch; Maldon, July 21, 

 1877. 



Sphinx pinastri in Suffolk. — A fine specimen of this 

 almost doubted British species was captured about a month 

 since at Tuddenham, near Ipswich, by the Rev. John Longe. 

 It was at rest on a tree trunk when discovered, and in close 

 proximity to honeysuckle in blossom. — H. Miller, Jun. ; 

 Ipswich, July 19, 1877. 



Sphinx pinastri. — I send you a drawing of Sphinx 

 pitiaslrif bred by me from a pupa iound near here, but when
