 just taken a specimen of Chcerocampa Celerio on a fence in 

 my garden. — Benjamin Standisli ; Southampton Street,

Chcerocampa. Celerio at Huddersjield. — On the 26ih of 

 last month (September) a specimen of Chcerocampa Celerio 

 was taken by a woman in one of the streets of this town, and 

 is now in the possession of JNIr. James North, of Newsome.

 the time it came into " proper hands" it had become too 

 much damaged to be fit for a cabinet specimen. — G. T. 

 Porritt ; Clare Hill, Huddersjield, October 19, 1868. 



Chcerocampa Celerio at Dover. — Another specimen of 

 Chcerocampa Celerio was taken at Dover during the month

 marvel of Peru. — H. J. Harding ; 131, Lower Street, Deal. 



Chcerocampa Celerio at Brighton. — On the evening of the 

 20th of September, in a garden near Montpelier Crescent,

 Celerio was taken by a son of Mr. Swaysland, of the Queen's 

 Road, Brighton, at about 6.15. Since then, in the same 

 garden, and over the same flowers, he has taken four others ; 

 viz., September 23rd, a very badly rubbed specimen ; 26th, 

 one much rubbed ; 29th, a very good one; October 10th, not 

 only the best of all, but a very perfect insect. I'he time in 

 each case was between lights, the evenings windy, and they 

 all flew against the wind. Two Sphinx Convolvuli have 

 been taken in the same garden. — T. W. Won/or, Hon. Sec. 

 Brighton and Sussex Natural History Society, Brighton. 



Chceroca)npa Celerio at Birmingham. — 1 have just finished 

 "setting" a most splendid specimen of Chcerocampa Celerio,
