water, and very differently circumstanced to this inland vil- 

 lage. Stephens and others all speak of it as found on the 

 coast. It was in profusion. — JoJin A. Power ; September 23. 



267. Abundance of Cynthia Cardui and Macro<jloy:sa Stel- 

 latnruin at Insiow. — I was at Instow yesterday, and saw 

 three large plants of the JMichaehnas daisy, growing close 

 together, coinplelely covered with the painted lady butterfly; 

 there must have been at least from sixty to a hundred, and all 

 bright, fresh specimens : they looked very pretty in the sun. 

 The painted lady is a scarce insect about here most years, 

 and i'ound only in certain localities ; but now they are to be 

 seen everywhere, as also the humming-bird hawk-moth. — 

 Murray IV. MatJieiv ; Raleiyh, Barnstaple, October 0. 



268. Colias Edusa in Ireland. — 1 have this day had the 

 good fortune to capture two fine specimens of Colias Edusa 

 (females), with not a scale off their wings. — [Mm] Martha 

 Ellison ; Newtown, Mount Kennedy, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, 

 September 28, 1865. 



269. Argynnis Lathonia in Norfolk. — A most splendid 

 example of this rare species was captured b}' Mr. John Perry, 

 on Monday, the 2nd instant, at Plumstead, near Norwich. 

 He exhibited his fortunate capture, during the same evening, 

 at the Meeting of the Norwich Naturalists' Society, where I 

 had opportunities of observing it. This is the second in- 

 stance on record of the occurrence of this species in Norfolk 

 during the present season. The former instance is recorded 

 in the 'Science Gossip' for October, by Mr. Glasspole, it 

 having been captured by a young gentleman in the parish of 

 Ormesby, St. Michael, during the month of September. — 

 T. E. Gunn ; Norivich, October 9, 1865. 



270. Acherontia Atropos near Woodbridge. — You may be 

 interested in the fact that this year we have caught and 

 reared about a dozen of the death's-head moth in this village, 

 in a perfect state. The larvae were very niunerous, and many 

 pupse were dug up in potato fields. — \_Rev.'] Walter E. 

 Browne^ Great Bealuip, October 11, 1865. 



271. Acheroutia Atropos at Henley-on-Thames. — I tliink 

 Acherontia Atropos must be more common than usual this 

 year. 1 have received no less than six specimens during the 

 past week. — Charles E. Stubbs ; Henley-on-Tha.mes, October 

 7, 1865.
