and I have another taken here in 1859. — Alfred Owen ; 

 Spriny Cottage, Venlnor. 



307. Sterrlia Sacraria in the Isle of IVif/ht. — Mr. Ingram 

 records, in tlie ' Entomologist's Monthly Magazine,' that a 

 specimen was beaten out of brambles upon St. Helen's 

 Dover, on the 9th of September. In the same journal Mr. 

 Dale, that prince of Entomologists, records the capture of a 

 specimen opposite Hurst Castle. 



308. Sterrha Sacraria near Horsham. — An undoubted 

 specimen of Sterrha Sacraria was taken in July last near 

 Horsham.—/^. D. Drewitt ; Peppering, Arundel. 



309. Sterrha Sacraria at Sugar near Exeter. — The Rev. 

 J. Hellins records, at p. 115 of the ' Entomologist's 

 Monthly Magazine,' that he took Sterrha Sacraria at sugar 

 on the 5th or 6th of September. 



310. Sterrha Sacraria bred. — Mr. Hellins also records, in 

 the ' Entomologist's Monthly Magazine,' that he has raised this 

 insect from eggs laid on the 19th of August : the larva3 were 

 hatched on the 29lh of August, spun up between the 20th 

 and 30th of September, and the moths appeared on the loth 

 of October. Mr. Hellins has described the larva. 



311. Acidalia mancuuiata, a new BritisJi Species? — Un- 

 der this name Dr. Knaggs describes, in the ' Entomologist's 

 Monthly Magazine,' an Acidalia which he believes new, and 

 which has been seen by Mr. Doubleday, who possesses a 

 European specimen unnamed : Dr. Knaggs' insects were sent 

 to London by Mr. Batty, of Sheffield. 



312. Eupithecia consignata at Leominster. — Although I 

 have collected in this immediate neighbourhood for many 

 years, I never met with Eupithecia consignata until 1864, 

 when we took three specimens : the first was struggling at 

 the root of an apjde tree, I have not a doubt, with a spider 

 which we noticed escaping after the net was placed over the 

 moth. During that summer two more were taken. Of course 

 this year we searched the orchards, and succeeded in cap- 

 luring six more, and saw a seventh, which escaped. They 

 are very difficult to see, and generally settle high up the 

 tree. We have taken the insect in four different orchards. — 

 E. S. Hutchinson ; Grantsjield, Leominster, October 3.

 Marigold. — It is perhaps not generally known that the larvae
