OBSERVATIONS. 



S55 



Captures near Selby. — Mr. William 

 Bowers, of the Training College, 

 York, a young but indefatigable 

 entomologist, during last midsum- 

 mer's vacation, collected in this neigh- 

 bourhood amongst many others, 

 several of the following larva3 — 

 Ennomos Tlliaria, Dicranura furcula, 

 D. bifida, D. vinula, Ptilodontis pal- 

 pina, Notodonta camelina, N. dictaa, 

 N. diomedarius, N. ziczac, Acronycta 

 leporina, Liparis Salicis, and one A. 

 aim. Mr. Bowers has taken splen- 

 did images of Boarmia Eoboraria, 

 N. trepida, and Stauropus fagi. — 

 Richard Hebson, Bailby Bank, 

 Selby, Nov. 21, 1864. 



P.S. In my communication of the 

 1st instant, I committed an error by 

 stating that the frost had completely 

 destroyed the potatoe tubers, instead 

 of the potatoe leaf, upon which A. 

 atropos feeds.
