Copris lunaris at Hertford.—A few weeks ago I took a 
fine specimen of Copris lunaris, under cow-dung, near 
Christchurch, in the South of Hampshire. I believe it to be 
a very unusual locality for this beetle—H. A. Lucas; 
Haileybury College, Hertford, October 16, 1871. 
Epunda lutulenta, E. lichenea, Dryops femorata, §c., 
at Brixham.—Last week Epunda lutulenta was pretty 
plentiful on ivy here, but in very poor condition. I have 
had one specimen of E. nigra, from pupa found under moss, 
but have not seen it at ivy. Lichenea is most abundant, but 
is now quite worn. Common things in great abundance. If 
any coleopterist wants Dryops femorata, let him now speak, 
as it is quite a plague here-—Kdwin Roper-Curzon ; Park- 
ham Wood, Brixham, Devon, October 10, 1871. 
Entomology at Longfield Rectory.—Selenia illunaria has 
proved triple-brooded with me this year, an imago having 
emerged on the 12th September from an egg laid in July; it 
was little more than a week in the pupa state. The rest of 
the larve are changing now; it is very similar to the perfect 
insects of the second brood. During the last week J have 
taken two specimens of the plain variety of X. Cerago (X. fla- 
vescens of Ksper). C. Xerampelina was taken here at sugar, 
on the 7th September. It is quite new to this neighbourhood. 
That it should be found here at all is scarcely to be expected, 
as the district is peculiarly dry and devoid of ash trees.—

Captures near Newcastle.—I have nothing of great 
importance from this quarter to report. N. Elymi has 
occurred in considerable numbers on the Durham coast, 
near South Shields, upwards of fifty having been taken by 
the different members of our Club, at rest on the sand-reed, 
and flying at dusk. On account of the cold and wet spring 
and summer—indeed we had no summer weather until the 
_last week in July—the hybernating larve were very long in 
feeding up. 1 found larve of A. caja, scarcely one-fourth of an 
inch in length, feeding on the coast on the 12th of July; and
