little village on the borders of Dartmoor. I have also had the 

 pleasure of capturing three more Xylina petrificata at Newton 

 Abbot. — Charles G. Vicary; Knowles, Newton Abbot, Devon, 

 October 22, 1875. 



Xanthia aurago near Willesden. — On the 18th September, 

 in company with Mr. A. Priest, I sugared an open fence near 

 Willesden Junction, and was rewarded with a fine specimen 

 of Xanthia aurago, an insect I did not expect to meet with 

 so near London. — C. Seabrook ; Marlborough Square, Chel- 

 sea, September 22, 1875. 



Cirroedia xerampeliim in Scotland. — I took a good speci- 

 men of Cirrcedia xerampelina here, on the night of the 30th 

 August last, at sugar. — Robert Service ; Maxwelltown, Dum- 

 fries, N.B., October 1, 1875.

 at this period of the year to sugar when laid so, than when 

 spread on the trunks of trees. It was on a yew so baited I

 lina; one, a female, on the 7th of September, and on the 8th 

 a male on exactly the same spot. Xanthia gilvago has been 

 rather common here this season. — R. South ; Goldbeaier''s 

 Farm, Hendon. 



Eremobia ochrolenca in Cambridgeshire. — I see that in 

 Newman's ' British Moths,' Brighton and Lewes in Sussex, 

 Bristol, Suffolk, and Yorkshire, are the only localities given 

 for Eremobia ochroleuca. I took two or three specimens 

 about the middle of August, some five or six years ago, at 

 Gamlingay, in Cambridgeshire ; they were flying about 

 thistles and other wild flowers by day. I saw' several others, 

 but did not take them. — John T. Sarll ; S, High Street, 

 Camden Town, October 7, 1875. 



Ennomosfuscantaria. — On the evening of September 22nd 

 I took from the street-lamps two specimens of Ennomos 

 fuscantaria ; one in good order ; the other was unfortunately 

 spoiled in boxing. — Joseph Anderson, jun. ; Alresford, 

 Hants. 



Catocala electa at Brighton. — On the 24lh of September 

 I had the good fortune to take at sugar, about eight miles 

 from Brighton, a specimen of Catocala electa, which I think
