to its domicile, and changes to a chrysalis. The larva is 

 lightish yellow, slightly hairy, with light brown head. The 

 chrysalis is very rough, and wriggles very much. Hepialus 

 Velleda is common in the woods here. You describe it as 

 being a northern species. — William Purday ; 132, Dover

Deiopeia pulchella at Budleigh-Salterton. — I caught a 

 fine specimen of Deiopeia pulchella at Budleigh-Salterton, 

 South Devon, on the 18th of August last, on a cloudy but 

 hot day, about twelve o'clock. The locality was on the edge 

 of a high cliff, where it flew out of some herbage. — A. E. 

 Wileman ; 10, Westlury Park, Redland, Bristol, September

Deiopeia pulchella at Biggleswade. — I have just taken a 

 very good specimen of Deiopeia pulchella (the crimson 

 speckled). It was in a grass-close, or meadow. Its manner 

 of flight reminded me of the veneers as it flew around me, 

 and soon settled again. Its white appearance on the wing 

 was very conspicuous, and would be sure to attract attention.

Deiopeia pulchella near Paignton. — 1 took another speci- 

 men of Deiopeia pulchella on the 18th of September, at 

 Saltern Cove, near Paignton, where I had the pleasure of 

 recording the capture of one last year. The specimen 1 have

 while walking through an uncultivated field near the coast. —

Deiopeia pulchella at Eastbourne. — On Saturday, ihe 18th 

 of Septemder, while capturing Colias Ilyale and C. Edusa, I 

 was fortunate enough to take two specimens of Deiopeia 

 pulchella. They were flying leisurely in a clover-field, taking 

 short flights from one flower to the other. One of them 

 appears to be a variety, the fore wings being nearly destitute 

 oi" the crimson spots, and is a much larger specimen than the
