have hitherto entirely failed. On Sunday, August 28th, passing 

 along a hedgerow within a couple of hundred yards of this house, 

 my eyes fell upon a nearly full-fed larva of Acronycta alni curled 

 up on the surface of a leaf of hawthorn. My sons the following 

 day beat the hedgerow from end to end, but without further 

 result. The larva pupated the same week in a dry piece of the 

 hollow stem of Heradeitin sphondylium. This makes the twelfth 

 larva of A. alni I have had in my possession, all found within 

 three miles of this house. So far they have produced seven 

 imagos, which now adorn my cabinet. — [Kev.] Thos. W. Daltry;

BoLETOBiA FULiGiNARiA. — Since informing you of the capture 

 of this insect (Entom. xiv. 212), I am happy to inform you that 

 the other two, which I expected were in the same cellar, have 

 both been caj^tured. One is in the possession of Mr. Bond, 

 and the other I have. Both were females. — Feed. W. Smith; 

 Hollywood House, Dartmouth Point, Blackheath, Aug. 27, 1881, 



BoLETOBiA FULIGINARIA IN LoNDON. — I am pleased to inform 

 you that another specimen of Boletobia fuliginaria has just been 

 taken (10 o'clock) in our warehouse in Thames Street, this being 

 a female, and owing to its having been out some time is a little 

 worn, but nevertheless a perfect specimen. There is a wide 

 difference between the capture of my first (male) specimen, July 

 l4th, and this one (female), August 25th. — J. E. Wellman ;

EupiTHECiA expallidata TWO YEARS IN PuPA. — In Septem- 

 ber, 1879, 1 collected about eighty larvse oi Euplthecia expallidata 

 from the golden-rod (which abounds here) ; from these larva3 

 forty-four of the perfect insects emerged during June, July, and 

 August, 1880, and nineteen in the corres})onding moiitlis of this 

 year — 1881. Were lepidopterists previously aware that a pro- 

 portion of this insect remained two years in the pupa state ? — 

 [Rev.] 0. P.-Cambridge ; Bloxworth Rectory, Sept. 10, 1881. 



[It is by no means of rare occurrence for pupae of the genus 

 Eiipithecia to remain over to the second year. I know of an 

 instance of E. togata pupse producing moths in the third season.
