Capturks near Petersfield, Hants. — My brother and 

 myself in six weeks, ending September 19th, captured the 

 following: — T/iecln pruiri, Lycaua ^gon, Liparis i/tonacha, 

 Pachj/cnemia hippocaslanarin, Thera varlntn, T.Jirmala, 

 Noctiia glareosa, iV. neglecia, Anchocelis rujina, and Epunda 

 lichenea ; very abundant. Lifhosta compUnia, Melanippe 

 procellala, Scotosia inidnlata, Epuncla nigra, Aiiarta myrlilli, 

 Stilbia auotnala, And Hypend crassnlis ; common. Seiido- 

 sevia plumaria, Eupitliecia succeniuriatd, Phibalapteryx 

 vitalhnta. Eubolia palumharia, Plalyptery.v nngicicrda, 

 Coe/iobia vN/a, Luperina cespilis, Miana lUerosa, Agrolis 

 pitta, A. aqiiiliiui. A. agatliina, A. porp/iyrea, Nociua plecta, 

 Aiic/iocetis lifura, and Eraslria fuscula ; a few specimens. 

 Apatura Iris, Limenitis sibyllu, E't/imelesia unifasciata, 

 Camptogramina Jiuxiata^ Phibalapteryx liynata, Chesias 

 obliquaria, Nonagria fulva, Triphcena subsequa, Cucullia 

 asteris, and Plusia orichalcea ; single specimens. Lobo- 

 pliora sexalisata^ Dicrairura bifida^ Stauropus fagi, Clostera 

 reclitsa, Acronycla alni, Hadena pisi, H. thatas.sina, Cucullia 

 lyc/iniiis, and C. asteris; larvae. Eminelesia imifasciaia 

 was taken among some hazel and clematis bushes on 

 Whetham Hill, August 18th : it was flying in bright sun- 

 shine, but most probably had been disturbed by my forcing 

 a way through the clematis. Plusia orichalcea was beaten 

 out of a hedge of clematis on Whetham Hill, about August 

 18th: it flew across the road and fell upon its back upon the 

 path ; I thought it was only P. chrysitis, and picked it up by 

 one wing; my surprise may be imagined when I saw what a 

 prize I had so carelessly secured ; 1 have also met with a single 

 specimen at rest in the daytime upon a flower-head of rag- 

 wort. Triphieua subsequa I took from my bedroom window. 

 My brother found the larva of Acrotrycta alui on an oak 

 bough in August last, at Harting Coomhe, near Rake ; it was 

 then almost full grown, but soon died, a victiui to ichneumons.
