92 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
C. inopiana.—A few captured, near Strood, in August. 
Lemnatophila salicella—One bred from galls, March 19th. 
Depressaria pallorella.—Several specimens, taken at Dover in September. 
This species must be looked for at the bottom of tufts of grass. 
Pterophorus acanthodactylus.—A rather long series, taken at Croydon in 
August.

Norres From Harwicu ror 1879.—During the past season I 
captured seventy-one species of Noctue at sugar. Thyatira derasa 
was plentiful, and not at all shy, as mentioned by the Rev. J. 
Greene in his ‘Insect Hunter’s Companion’; they did not attempt 
to move whilst being boxed. Of T’. batis I took two; Leucania 
littoralis, three; Senta ulve, one; Dipterygia pinastri, plentifully ; 
Mamestra abjecta, five; Apamea gemma, plentifully; Agrotis 
suffusa, three (this species was very plentiful in 1878); A. saucia, 
plentifully; A. ripe, plentifully; Aplecta advena, two; Hadena 
adusta, one; H. suasa, seven; and of H. geniste, eight. At light 
I captured two specimens of Leucania phragmitidis, one Plusia 
iota, and two Coremia quadrifasciaria ; and I bred one Luperina 
cespitis from a pupa I took at the roots of a poplar tree.—

A Monty in THE New Forest.—I spent the month of 
September, 1879, at Brockenhurst, in the New Forest, with the 
primary object of taking a good long series of Peronea cristana ; 
but although I had the best localities pointed out, and the most 
systematic method of working kindly shown me by Mr. E. G. 
Meek, I failed to obtain more than a dozen specimens. Yet 
I was assured by George Gulliver of that place—who also 
showed me where to get “‘t’ buttons”—that in 1878 they were 
not uncommon, and in 1877 plentiful. Leptogramma lterana 
were to be had freely, and I met with two or three striking 
varieties. Peronea sponsana were not scarce, neither were 
P. schalleriana and P. comparana. Teras caudana also was 
frequent, and a few varieties of that species. At larve beating I 
was more successful. Of Stauropus fagi I got four, but only one 
reached the pupal stage. Also a few each of Dicranura furcula, 
Notodonta dicteoides, N. dromedarius, N. ziczac, N. dodonea, and 
Thyatira batis; several of Platypterya falcula and Tephrosia 
consonaria, and of Diphthera orion. Acronycta leporina, Hurymene 
dolabraria, Amphydasis betularia, E:phyra trilinearia, Tephrosia
