258 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



female) yesterda}', September 22ncl, near Cudham. I also took 

 in the same locality, on the 9tli of last August, a very perfect 

 specimen of Eremohia ochroleuca at rest on the stem of knapweed. 

 I see in this month's number of the ' Entomologist ' (vol. xviii., 

 p. 244) that Mr. F. G. Wliittle mentions having found it commonly 

 near Gravesend ; therefore Kent may be given as a locality, as 

 only Sussex, Gloucestershire, Suffolk, and Yorkshire are given as 

 localities for this species in Newman's ' British JNloths.' Pyrameis 

 cardui and P. atalanta have been abundant this autumn in West 

 Kent.— F. W. Frohawk; 1, Park Place, Eltham, Kent, Sept. 22. 



COLIAS HELICE AND SpHINX CONVOLVULI AT ChICHESTER. — On 



August 25th I took a fine Colias helice flying over a clover field. 

 The specimen is a peculiarly white one. During the first week 

 in September several Sphinx convolvuli visited the flower-beds in 

 our garden, and one evening two flew into the dining-room, 

 which had just been lighted. One specimen (which my brother 

 captured) is in such splendid condition that apparently it had 

 but recently emerged from the pupa. — Joseph Anderson, jun. ; 

 Chichester. 



AcHERONTiA ATROPOS AT HARWICH. — The larva of this moth 

 has occurred here in some numbers this year. I have already 

 had five brought to me, and have heard of others being destroyed. 

 Three have buried themselves ; the other two are still feeding. — 

 F. Kerry ; Harwich. 



AcHERONTiA ATROPOS IN HUNTINGDONSHIRE. — Two Corre- 

 spondents having drawn attention (Entom. xviii. 243) to the 

 number of Acherontia atropos larvae found in their district, I may 

 say I have experienced a similar increase in numbers in Hunting- 

 donshire. For three weeks I have had one, two, or three larvse 

 brought me each day. This is unusual, but owing probably to 

 the fine weather. — H. E. Norris; St. Ives, Hunts, Sept. 2, 1885. 



Sphinx convolvuli. — I have come across two specimens of 

 this moth this year. One was sent me by a relation from the Isle 

 of Wight, having been caught at Bembridge about August 20th ; 

 the other was taken at Wells, September 3rd, and was brought 

 to Dr. Livett, of that city, who kindly gave it to me. — (Rev.) J. 

 Seymour St. John ; Whatley Rectory, Frome. 



Sphinx convolvuli at Christchurch. — On August 14th I 

 had a fine male S. convolvuli brought to me, which had flown into
