to the cage; and on the 23rd found another male. The next 

 day a large female emerged; on the following day, another 

 male ; on the 28th, another male ; on the 29th, another, a 

 male likewise. My last specimen was delayed by the sudden 

 change in the weather till the 5th of July, when it came out; 

 making the sixth male, and eighth fine specimen. Each of 

 these insects squeaked loudly, — louder than a mouse when a 

 victim to the lender mercies of a cat. — Joseph Anderson;

Anticlea sindata at Box Hill. — On July 21st, whilst 

 collecting at Box Hill, I was agreeably surprised at beating 

 a fair specimen of Anticlea sinuata out of a box tree. —

Rare Tortrices this Season. — While collecting near 

 Leatherhead on April 27th last, in company with Dr. Gill, I 

 captured a specimen of Spilonota pauperana flying in the 

 sunshine over wild rose bushes ; it was slightly worn, and its 

 late appearance was probably the reason why 1 failed to find 

 any more: so far as 1 am aware this is the first record of the 

 capture of this local species in Surrey. On May 25th, at 

 Tilgate Forest, I took one Ephippiphora ravulana: the day 

 was very showery, and this was almost the only insect 

 to be seen during a passing gleam of sunshine. I have 

 succeeded in rearing a \ew E. gallicolana, and have also 

 taken two specimens of this species, which I consider to be 

 identical with E. obscuraiia, though I must postpone my 

 reasons for this decision to a future number. — Walter P.

Gelechia gerronella Bred. — 1 have bred two speci- 

 mens of this from larvae collected in furze bushes, near 

 Snaresbrook Station, in the early part of June. They came 

 out amongst a number of Cirandi.penuis at the end of June 

 and beginning of July. I subsequently went over to the 

 place, and beat from the furze ten good specimens of 

 Gelechia gerronella. Anarsia spartiella and Ceuiiostoma 

 sparti/oliella were both common. — W. Machin ; 22, Argyle

Rhodoph^a consociella at Arnside. — A month ago, 

 when looking for larvae of Penlhina incar/ialana, \ noticed the 

 young oaks all crumpled up in a form 1 had not seen before: 

 1 thought they could not be the counnon Pea-green, Tortrix 

 viridana, but that possibly they might be knol-horn larvaj ; 

 however, 1 sent two to Mr, Barrett for an opinion. As he
