shores of Ireland, the adjacent Isle of Man, the Pyrenees and 

 the Alps. — Edwin Birchall ; Newlay, October 15, 1869. 



Epunda lululenta at Gravesend. — Sept. 27lh, 1 took two; 

 2Sth, ten ; 29th, two ; from Oct. 1st to 7th, five : all taken at 

 ivy-blossom. Of the nineteen, four were males and fifteen 

 females. To obtain them in good order they should be cap- 

 tured early in September, but ivy is not then in blossom ; and 

 with one exception, taken last year, I have seen none at 

 sugar. — {Rev). P. H. Jennings ; Longfield RectoTij, Gravesend^ 

 October, 1869. 



Leucania L-alhum in Kent. — I took a specimen of Leu- 

 cania L-album on the 8th of the present October, at sugar, 

 in a wood near Canterbury, and have sent it to Mr, Double- 

 day for the name. — F.J. Parry; 103, Northgate Street^ 

 Canterbury, October 22, 1869. 



Leucania L-album in Kent. — The Noctua which I received 

 this morning is Leucania L-album : it has never been taken 

 in England befoje to my knowledge, but I always thought it 

 would occur here, as it is very common in France. This 

 species is double-brooded, and Guenee says that the second 

 brood is always much more numerous than the spring brood.

Leucania vitellina near Brighton. — During the latter end 

 of last month two specimens of L. vitellina were taken at 

 sugar near Brighton — one on the 20th, by Mr. A. Gates, a 

 haid-working entomologist, and sold by him to Mr. Vaughan, 

 of London, for Is. Qd. ; the other was taken by Mr. Meldola, 

 of London, who came down for a week's sugaring. I under- 

 stand that both obtained about two dozen Agrotis Saucia at 

 the same lime. — T. IV. Wonfur ; Brighton, October, 1869. 



Depressaria Cnicana at Soutlisea. — I enclose for your 

 acceptance two specimens of a Depressaria which I am told 

 is D. Cnicana, and which I bred from larva3 found in rolled- 

 up leaves of Eryngium maritimum. I am told that a speci- 

 men of D. Cnicana was sent to Mr. Stainton to name last 

 summer ; if so, mine is not the first capture of it in England, 

 but I expect that I am the first to rear it from the larva and 

 to record its habitat. In the summer of 1866 the larva was 

 very abundant, but last summer I could only find about two 

 dozen after several evenings' search. I should have sent the 

 species to you before now, but was under the impression
