NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 185 
Mr. Joseph Chappel, of Manchester, could tell us more about this 
change from white to black, which also obtains in another moth, 
throughout Lancashire and Cheshire, viz,, Amphidasys betularia.

Lepiporrera AT SEevENOoAKS.—I have captured the following 
species here at sallow bloom:—Panolis piniperda, Pachnobia 
rubricosa, Teniocampa munda, T. gracilis, T’. pulverulenta (cruda), 
T. gothica, T. stabilis, and T’. incerta (instabilis); I have also 
taken Hemerophila abruptaria, Tephrosia punctularia, Cidaria 
suffumata, Lobophora carpinata (lobulata), Xylina ornithopus 
(rhizolitha), Xylocampa aureola (lithoriza); and Anticlea nigro- 
fasciaria (derwata), Larentia multistrigaria, and Tephrosia 
crepuscularia have been very common. On the evening of the 
7th I found two Notodonta trepida and one N. chaonia at rest 
on one tree; and I have since taken another specimen of each.—

Natural History or Cutswick.—I can now add one more 
to the list of Bedford Park Sphingide, namely, Sphinx convolvuli, 
of which a specimen was taken by F’. Nash last summer; but 
there is no reason for supposing that it breeds in the neighbour- 
hood. The Rey. O. P. Cambridge has been good enough to 
examine a bottle of Bedford Park spiders, and the following list 
of species contained may have some value, as giving a new locality 
for several species of this little-worked class :— Clubiona terrestris, 
Westr., C. corticalis, Walck., Amaurobius similis, Bl., A. fenestralis, 
Stroém., Tegenaria atrica, Koch, Linyphia bicolor, B1., L. nebulosa, 
Sund., LZ. tenebricola, Wid., L. concolor, Wid., L. insignis, B1., 
L. bucculenta, Clk., DL. montana, Clk., Neriene nigra, Bl., 
Walckenaera cristata, Bl., Pachygnatha degeerii, Sund., P. clerckit, 
Sund., and one of the Phalangiide, Phalangiwm saxatile, Koch. 
In the ‘Spiders of Dorset,’ ZL. insignis is stated to be rare in the 
South of England; but Mr. Cambridge writes that he finds it 
“common enough at Bloxworth now.” EF. M. Campbell (Trans. 
Herts Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. ii., pp. 263-276) states, that the 
common house spider in Herts is Tegenaria guyonit, and that 
T’. atrica is extremely rare; and in various parts of the London 
district, 7. guyontw 1s said to be the prevalent form. It is, 
therefore, interesting to note that all the Bedford Park examples 
that I have seen (and they are far from few) have belonged to
