 females emerged first; in four tlie males; while in one in- 

 stance — mnltistrigaria — both appeared on the same day. I 

 commend this very interesting subject to your readers, and 

 invite lliem to supply similar tables, or, if unable to do so 

 now, to take it in hand next spring. — [Rev.] J. Greene;

277. ('hoerocampa Celerio near Hull. — In the year 1846 

 I recorded the capture of this insect at Brantingham, near 

 this place, by Mr. Kingston. This gentleman writes me 

 that he took a splendid male again on the 29lh of September. 

 It was hovering over a bed of geraniums, at twenty minutes 

 past six o'clock in the evening. — G. Norman ; Hull, Octo- 

 ber 1, 1865. 



278. Description of the Larva of Chcerocampa Celerio, 

 found at Epping. — A person residing here brought me a 



larva of Choerocampa Celerio on the 7lh instant; he found it 

 on the ground in the garden. 1 have given it vine, Epilo- 

 lobium and Fuchsia, but it has not eaten anything, and 1 

 have no doubt it had begun to s[)in before it was found, and 

 was changing colour : it has spun a few lumps of earth over 

 itself in one corner of the cage. It was dirty brown, thickly 

 covered with short black lines : the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seg- 

 ments are immaculate ; there is a large ocellus on the 5th 

 segment, and a smaller one on the 6th ; from this segment a 

 pale lateral stripe runs into the caudal horn : the under parts 

 below the spiracles were not freckled with black ; but the 

 larva was too near its change to a pupa for a good descrip- 

 tion to be made of it.— //. Doubleday, Eppivg, October 11.
