four specimens of this insect on the 26th of September last, 

 on the hills near Reigate. They were all perfectly fresh, and 

 sitting on the blades of grass, upon which hung the pupa- 

 cases from which they had just emerged. These specimens 

 are very much smaller than those of the summer brood, and 

 the spots show a tendency to coalesce, as in Z. trifolii. 

 Besides the specimens captured I saw another pair in 

 coilu. — Henry Charles Lang ; Thurlow Lodge, Golden 

 Manor, Hanwell, W., January 21, 1878. 



DiCYCLA GO, &C., ON WiMBLEDON CoMMON. — Of this 



generally considered local insect I took a very fine specimen 

 at sugar, on the 4ih of July last year. On the same night 1 

 took about twenty Dipierygia pinasiri. This was the only 

 really good night's sugaring I had during the season. 

 Amongst other noteworthy captures made at the same place 

 during the year 1 may mention Gnip/iolita minutana (about 

 a dozen nice specimens), Poedisca oppressana, and P. oph- 

 thalmicana. — H. Whittle; 20, Cambridge Terrace, Lupus 

 Street, S.W., February 12, 1878. 



Camptogramma flcviata. — I first took this species near 

 Battle, flying along a ditch under a hedge at dusk. My 

 brother also captured one in exactly the same way the next 

 night; this was the end of August. The next was captured 

 by means of a lantern upon heather, at Rake, a village four 

 miles from Petersfield, on September 10th: this was a black 

 female, with a very distinct reddish band (var. Gemmaria). 

 I again met with it at St. Leonard's, on October 21st, in a 

 damp ditch amongst sallow. — E. K. Robinson ; Quebec 

 House, St. Leonard's, October 19, 1877. 



Ephippiphora ravulana. — Last June I met with four 

 examples of this rare species in Tilgate Forest. Eupcecilia 

 ambiyuana appears to have quite disappeared from the 

 copse where I found ii some ten years ago. — E. G. Meek; 

 56, Brompton Road, S.W. 



Eupcecilia curvistrigana. — While staying at Folkestone 

 last August I captured a very fine series of this beautiful 

 species. 1 had not seen it alive since 1866, when I met with 

 a couple of specimens in a wood in North Devon. It may be 

 imagined how pleased 1 was to find my old friend in a new 

 locality. — Id. 



Captures in Ireland in 1877. — My first visit to the 

 sallows was on the 2nd of April, when I took a specimen 

 each of Trachea pin iperda and TtBniocavipa miniosa. Subse- 

 quent search for these insects resulted in the capture of
