beautiful little moth; and, after very careful inspection, we 
find that it most precisely agrees with the description and 
figure of Deiopeia pulchella in your book. It rose at my feet 
from heather, and flew very slowly. Time, a little after 
10 a.M.—Richard Beck; Oliver's Mount School, Scar- 
borough, September 14, 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Middleton.—1 have in my pos- 
session a very fine female in good condition of this very rare 
insect, captured on the 8th of September, in the railway 
canal-yard, Middleton Station, by one of the workmen 
employed, who boxed it for mere curiosity, being attracted 
by its beauty.x—John Thorpe; Church Street, Middleton, 
Manchester, September 19, 1871. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Ipswich.—\ have this year been 
fortunate enough to capture (on the 11th and 12th of Septem- 
ber) three specimens of Deiopeia pulchella: one at rest on 
French marygold, and two others brushed up, by accident, 
out of a bed of Jacobeas ; all three were taken without a net. 
Their flight was heavy, and very similar to the commoner 
varieties of footman. This is, I believe, the first capture of 
the insect in Suffolk.—C. F. Long ; Medical Superintendent, 
Ipswich Borough Asylum. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Dover.—The gentleman whom I have 
mentioned as having taken Daplidice, also captured a splendid 
specimen of Deiopeia pulchella, on the beach here, on the 
Sth September. I have seen the specimen, and it is really 
beautiful—E. White; 11, Clarendon Place, Folkestone 
Road, Dover. 
Deiopeia pulchella near Brighton.—On Monday last a 
female specimen of D. pulchella was taken in a stubble field, 
near the Brighton race-course, and was brought to me alive 
a few hours afterwards by its fortunate captor. I have had 
the pleasure of adding this insect to my collection. — Herbert 
Goss ; September 16, 1871. 
Deiopera pulchella at Brighton.—On the. 10th inst., 
between Black-rock and the race-course, in a stubble field, 
1 saw a fine specimen of the above rarity taken by a 
gentleman living at Brighton. No doubt a hedge-stake, or 
something nearly as bad, would have gone through it, had I not 
been there. I had the pleasure of pinning it for him. Later 
in the day, in an adjoining field, I saw another specimen settled
