apparently just emerged from pupa. — W. H. Blaber; Beck- 

 worth, Lindfield. Three were taken at Keymer, but were all 

 faded. — John T. Carrington. 



Surrey. — A specimen was taken at Haslemere, August 31st. — 

 T. P. Newman; Springfield, Reigate. A specimen taken by 

 Dr. W. McGeagh at Putney on the 31st August. — John Lea; 

 2, Elm Villas, Hampstead. 



Hampshire. — On Sept. 3rd a dead S. convolvuli was brought 

 me by a gardener ; so, thinking more might be about, I watched 

 some petunia-beds at dusk on the 6th and 7th, and saw three on the 

 first and another on tlie latter evening. — Waldegrave ; Black- 

 moor, Petersfield, Hants, Sept. 8th. A fine specimen was taken 

 at Alum Bay, Isle of Wight, on August 30th. — M. A. Grant. 

 I began to keep a look-out for this species about the middle of 

 August, thinking perhaps that the very dry season would have 

 the same favourable result with S. convolvuli as in 1885, but not 

 until the 27th did I see a specimen — a worn male ; the next 

 evening I captured a large female in better condition, and two 

 more were brought me, the last on Sept. 12th — a fresh male 

 specimen. I know of a great many taken not far from here 

 about the time I captured my first two, nearly all in poor 

 condition ; this and their appearing all in the same week leads 

 me to the belief that these S. convolvuli are immigrants. —

Callimorpha HERA IN SouTii Devon. — While recently staying 

 at Tenby, I felt anxious to renew my acquaintance with my old 

 friend Callimorpha hera. I therefore left South Wales for Dawlish 

 on August 13th, and on my arrival began working in earnest. 

 During my week's visit I had the pleasure of capturing six 

 specimens, three of which were the var. lutescens. Two more 

 were sent to me subsequently. Compared with last year, I found 

 I was quite a week too late, as my specimens were not in perfect 

 condition ; but I was fortunate enough to obtain ova, which 

 hatched in ten days, and I have now the larva? feeding. — J. Jager ;

Pupation of Cossus. — With reference to Mr.W. O.Hammond's 

 remarks last month (Entom. 231), with respect to the pupation of 

 Cossus ligniperda, I have invariabl}^ found the cocoon in the wood 

 until the present year, when I discovered the pupa-case at a con-
