294 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
date of my departure; and no wonder, for the weather was most 
unsettled. Vanessa urtice.—Just out, August 18th; not seen 
after August 22nd. V. Atalanta.—Just out, August 29th. 
Pyrameis cardui.—Not very common. Satyrus Meg@era.—Just 
out, August 29th. S. Janira.—Still coming out when I 
left, but not common. SS. 7Jithonus.—Abundant. S. Hyperan- 
thus.—Not so common; nearly over when I left. Polyommatus 
Phleas.—One or two on the North Denes, August 24th, 
frequenting sea-holly, in company with Pyrameis cardui and 
Plusia gamma. Macroglossa stellatarum.—One full-fed larva on 
the denes near the Yare, on rest-harrow. Huchelia jacobee@e.— 
Larve not common; only occurring in one lane. Aretia lubri- 
cipeda and A. menthastri.—One small larva of each. Liparis 
auriflua.—Several at rest on twigs. Orgyia antiqua and Bombya 
rubi.—One larva of each. Odonestis potatoria and Selenia illunaria. 
—One female of each. Acidalia scutulata, A. trigeminata, and 
Timandra amataria.—One of each. Abraxas grossulariata.— 
Commoner at rest in some of the lanes than I have ever seen it 
before in such situations. Hupithecia centaureata and EH. coronata. 
—One of each at rest on a wall. Melanippe unangulata.—One 
near Bradwell, Suffolk, August 21st. JZ. fluctuata.—Only a few. 
Coremia ferrugata and C. unidentaria.—One or two of each. 
Camptogramma bilineata.—Still out, but rare. LHubolia lineolata. 
—Common, and in good condition when I first reached Yarmouth, 
but very local; confined to a sand dene between the Nelson 
column and the River Yare. I saw a very handsome dark-banded 
variety, and managed to obtain eggs; it appeared over by August 
30th, but I saw two as late as the 28th. Mr. Wilson, in his work 
on the British larve (p. 128), gives June as the latest month in 
which this lively little insect appears on the wing. DBryophila 
glandifera and B. perla.—A few of each, at Gorlestone. Acronycta 
psi.—A few at rest in good condition as late as August 21st. A 
distinguished looking feminine member of the Leucaniide, whom 
I met with one evening on the North Denes among the marram 
and lyme-grass, and whose sole object in lfe appeared to be that 
of digging for herself an early grave in the sand as speedily as 
possible, seemed to me to be more like Nonagria elymi than
