Deiopeia pulcJtella at Folkestone. — On October 1st, 1 cap- 

 tured Deiopeia pulchella in a turnip-field on the hills at the

 it : it is a male in fair condition. — Thomas H. Briggs ; Mill 

 House, Folkestone, October 2, 1809.

 render the species at all doubtful. — E. Newman. 



Sterrlia sacraria at Southsea. — The other day I kicked 

 up out of grass a fine male specimen of Sterrha sacraria. —

 days. — W. H. Haricood ; St. Peter's, Colchester, September

Acronycta Alni at Derby. — On the 19th of August I took 

 a larva of Acronycta Alni : it spun up the next day in an 

 elm-leaf It was crawling on some railings under wych elms :

 tance of from twenty to thirty yards. 1 found one last year 

 on the same road, but it had been injured, and it died. —
