_ NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 18 
specimens with purplish brown or smoke-colour; a double pale 
gray line (the space on the anterior segments filled up with smoke- 
colour) forms the dorsal stripe; and there is a similarly pale, but 
threadlike line above the spiracles. On each side of the 5th, 6th, 
7th, and 8th segments a dark streak extends from the spiracular 
region upwards anteriorly, becoming almost black before meeting 
in the centre on the front of each segment; in the angle thus 
formed is a conspicuous pale blotch: in one or two larve of the 
brood, however, these dark streaks are entirely absent, though 
the pale blotches are still distinct. Tubercles white or gray; 
spiracles large and round, intensely black; prominences on 12th 
segment gray, with distinct black streak on front of each. Ventral 
surface stone-gray, or pinkish gray, thickly freckled with very 
minute dark smoky spots; it has a pale central stripe, edged on 
each side with a fine irregular smoky line, enclosing together 
another double smoky line; there is also a pale stripe (varying 
much in colour in different specimens, in some being pinkish, in 
others yellowish) between the central stripe and the spiracular 
region; this stripe is edged inside with dark smoke-colour. The 
foregoing is a general description of the brood reared from the 
New Forest eggs; but two larve received from Mr. J. Gardner, 
of Hartlepool, were much darker, and the markings altogether 
stronger. One of them had a purplish ground, and the dark 
streaks on segments 5, 6, 7, and 8 were much larger and broader, 
and the dorsal area altogether much blotched and marbled with 
this dark colour, which gave it a very irony appearance. The 
ventral surface was smoky, with the paler central stripe pinkish, 
and like the others enclosing the double smoky line. The larve 
were fed on strawberry, and the first moth emerged on August 
8th, a rather late date-—Guro. T. Porrirr; Highroyd House,

OccURRENCE oF NOLA CENTONALIS.—-I understand a consider- 
able number of specimens of Nola centonalis were captured during 
the past summer, and eggs obtained. This is very interesting, 
when we remember how long this species and the now no longer 
rare Nola albulalis remained desiderata in our collections.—Joun

DEILEPHILA LIvoRNICcA.—I have recently had brought for my 
inspection a fine specimen of D. livornica, captured August, 1878,
