Colias Edusa. It has occasionally been taken in this neigh- 
bourhood, and a specimen was seen jn the immediate vicinity 
three years ago. I have heard of two captures of Deilephila 
Galii during the past year, in addition to those mentioned in 
the ‘Year-book;’ one by a friend of mine at Middles- 
borough (which I have seen), and another at Sheffield.—Jas. 
H. Rowntree ; Westwood, Scarborough, February 14, 1871. 
Thecla Quercus and Satyrus Tithonus in Ross-shire.— 
Would bond-fide specimens from Ross-shire of 8. Tithonus 
and T. Quercus dissipate the scepticism of Mr. Jenner- 
Fust? If so, I shall have the greatest pleasure in trans- 
mitting him a specimen of each. In the same district I 
have taken Cymatophora Or, Thyatira Batis and Notodonta 
dicteoides, which, so far as I am aware, have not hitherto 
been discovered so far north.—A. Davidson ; Tarbert, Fearn, 
by Inverness, February 4, 1871. 
Deilephila Galit at Plumstead.—I Nave lately had my 
collection of insects increased by a specimen of D, Galil, 
which was caught last August by a boy, in a greenhouse, at 
Plumstead, Kent. I have made you acquainted with this 
capture, as I believe that this insect is not of common occur- 
rence in this county.— Thomas Barns; Oakington House, 
Beckenham, Kent, February 18, 1871. 
Deilephila Galii ; emergence on the 8th February.—1 had 
a splendid specimen of Deilephila Galii emerge from pupa 
yesterday afternoon. I was fortunate in securing several 
larve of this rare moth, on the sand-bills at New Brighton, 
last autumn, feeding on the lady’s bedstraw. I have kept the 
pupe in a warm kitchen.—Samuel James Capper; Huyton 
Park, near Liverpool, February 9, 1871. 
Management of Liparis dispar.—\ hope you will not deem 
the following question too trivial for a reply in the ‘ Entomo- 
logist’ next month, but I am unable to ascertain from your 
‘Insect Hunter’s,’ or your valuable work on ‘ Moths,’ the time 
I may expect the eggs of Liparis dispar to hatch, and whether 
accelerated by heat or otherwise. I hope I am not too late 
for a reply in the February number. What should their food 
consist of when first hatched? I am only a beginner (the 
first year I have attempted to carry larve through the winter).

27, 1871.
