THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 229 



of the 30tli August, 1875, a friend of mine captured two very 

 fine Cii rhoedia xeiampelina in a telegraph-box, at Grantham, 

 which he kindly presented to me. Four specimens have 

 now been taken during the last fifteen years at Grantham. — 

 Isaac Robinson ; Grantham. 



Cirrlicedia xerampelina near Manchester. — It may perhaps 

 interest Lancashire entomologists to learn that on the 7th of 

 September I took a good specimen of Cirrhoedia xerampelina 

 on a lamp in this vicinity. I have also seen several w^asted 

 specimens of this beautiful insect. — J. H. Aspimcall ; Oak 

 Bank, WilJiington, Manchester, September 21, 1875. 



Hadena peregrina at Kingston, Surrey. — I have just been 

 so fortunate as to capture a fine fresh specimen of Hadena 

 peregrina, sitting on palings in this neighbourhood, but 

 unfortunatel}'^ one hind wing is not perfect. 1 took it on the 

 17th of September, about 3 p.m. — W. Thomas; Snrbifoii 

 Villa, Sttrbiton, September 17, 1875. 



[Is Mr. Thomas sure of the identity of this insect ? — 

 Edward Netvman.^ 



Hadena satiira in Kent. — During the last week of July I 

 took a very fine specimen of Hadena satura at sugar, on 

 Braborne Downs. Since then Mr. Edney, a collector here, 

 has taken two more, which I now possess, at the same place. 

 The first that I ever saw was taken by Mr. Edney, in August, 

 1873, and sent alive to Mr. Doubleday, who named it, and 

 told him he had a large female taken by the late Mr. Harry 

 Osborne. — G. Parry; Church Street, St. PauVs, Canter- 

 bury, August 23, 1875. 



Cuculiia Gnaphalii near Seal, in Kent. — I had the good 

 fortune to take five larvae of Cuculiia Gnaphalii on plants of 

 golden-rod : two on August 1st, and three on the 2nd, near 

 Seal, Kent. I found them feeding on the leaves, and not on 

 the flowers of the plant, as C. Asteris does. — C. TV. Simmons ; 

 39, Market Street, Caledonian Road, London, N., August 4, 

 1875. 



Spilodes palealis in Norfolk. — On the 20th of August I 

 took two specimens of this insect; one in my garden at 

 Thetford, and the other in Croxlon parish, three miles 

 distant. Mr. Barrett, in his able paper on Norfolk, says, 

 "No recent captures have been recorded." Colias Edusa 

 and C. Hyale seem to have changed seasons, as 1 took in the 

 same locality C. Edusa on the 24th of June, and C. Hyale at
