Chcerocampa Celerio and Cuciillia Gnaphalii at Hay- 

 ward's Heath. — I am but a beginner in Entomology, but as 

 you seem to value records of scarce insects you will perhaps 

 like to know of the occurrence of two rare insects in this 

 neighbourhood. In 1869 a specimen of Chcerocampa Celerio 

 was brought to me, picked up in a lane here, and fresh from 

 the chrysalis. I grieve to say a mouse devoured it shortly
