Chcerocampa celerio in Essex. — I am glad to be able to 

 add another to the long list of captures of G. celerio, Mr. E. 

 Bidwell having given me a specimen which had been caught 

 by his nephew. Master H. H. Cotman, at No. 3, East Terrace, 

 Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, on September 15th. The insect 

 when found was resting on the staircase, and was then quite 

 perfect, but, having been kept in a box alive for four days, was 

 somewhat injured. — J. R. Wellman ; 8 Medora Road (late 219), 

 Elm Park, Brixton Rise, S.W., October 12, 1885. 



Chcerocampa celerio at Folkestone. — A specimen was 

 caught in the town of Folkestone during the second week in 

 September, and brought to Mr. Purday, who gave it to me. — J. 

 A. Cooper ; Sussex Villa, Leytonstone, October 20, 1885. 



Chcerocampa celerio at Bournemouth. — I have just 

 learned from Mr. Adye, who captured a beautiful specimen of 

 Chcerocampa celerio, as recorded in this month's ' Entomologist ' 

 (xviii. 262), that another specimen of C. celerio has been taken a 

 few days ago by the Rev. E. Brackenbury, of this town. — 

 W. McRae ; Bedford House, Bournemouth, October, 1885. 



Chcerocampa celerio, &c., in Devonshire. — On September 

 16th I caught a female C. celerio at Lee, near Ilfracombe. It was 

 flying at dusk, and visited stocks and fuchsias. I also found two 

 Sphinx convolvuli at rest, on August 30th and September 6th 

 respectively ; I saw two or three others on the wing. They seem 

 to have been common this year, as I have seen several taken by a 

 friend at Buckfastleigh, besides one at Cambridge. — W. F. 

 Blandford ; 71, Grosvenor Street, W., September 25, 1885. 



Chcerocampa celerio at Plymouth. — On the 19th ult. a 

 friend brought me a fine specimen of this moth, which he caught 

 in his drawing-room, at The Crescent, Plymouth, the previous 

 evening.— J. P. Cregoe ; Headland Park, Plymouth, Oct. 3, 1885. 



CoLiAs edusa, Acherontia atropos. Sphinx convolvuli, 

 AND Chcerocampa celerio. — Whilst staying at Lyme Regis in 

 August, with my friend Mr. A. R. Wallace, we noticed that Colias 

 edusa was fairly common, the butterfly confining its visits almost 

 entirely to the yellow flowers of the fleabane [Pulicaria dysenterica),
