of the 9tl), nearly uniform in size; dorsal surface reddish 

 brown ; the 4th segment has four very small black dots, 

 arranged transversely on the oih, 6lh, 7th and 8th segments; 

 these dots are arranged in pairs, the hinder pair being rather 

 farther apart than the other two ; the 9th segment bears a 

 rounded protuberance of a colour slightly darker than that of 

 the four preceding segments, and bounded anteriorly by a 

 black band; the 10th, llth and 12th segments are of much 

 'the same shade as the main portion of the body, and have the 

 four black dots nearer together longitudinally ; the anterior 

 pair on the 9lh segment are situated just behind the black 

 band; the posterior pair behind the protuberance. The 

 lateral skinfold is of a lighter shade of brown than the dorsal 

 surface ; the spiracles black, surrounded by a light-coloured 

 ring. The claspers and anal flap are of the dark reddish 

 brown of the 2nd and 3rd segments ; on the ventral surface 

 the 5lh and 6th segments are marked with two large black 

 spots, situated in close proximity to each other; the spots 

 on the 7th, 8th and 9th segments are smaller and farther 

 apart; the light shade of the lateral skinfold is continued on 

 the posterior half of the ventral surface of the 5lh, 6th, 7th 

 and 8th segments, in the anterior portion of which the spots 

 are situated. 1 am indebted to Mr. J. G. Ross, of Bathampton, 

 and Mr. Peters, of Crawley, for a supply of this larva. — [Rev.]

Pyrameis Uuntera in South Devon. — A very beautiful 

 specimen of this insect was taken by Miss Caroline L. Pole 

 Carew on the 20th September, at Antony, near Torpoint. I 

 had the great pleasure of seeing it on her setting-board this 

 afternoon. On reference to 'Morris's British Butterflies' I 

 see a record of one taken at Wiihybush, Haverfordwest, 

 South Wales, in July or August, 1828. — G. C. Bignell ;

[The above notice of the capture of Pyrameis Virgeniensis, 

 Dru. (= Huntera, Fahr.), is interesting, as showing how 

 insects from far distant localities frequently occur as foreign 

 visitors to this country. There are several ])revious records
