ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 
Variety lo1z or Apatura Iris.—Last week, while spending 
a few days in Sussex, I had the good fortune to add to my 
collection the variety of Apatura Iris named Jole. As usual, the 
good luck of capturing a variety fell to a beginner, who, although 
taking but three specimens of Jris, took this variety settled low 
down ona small oak. Upon learning the rarity of his capture 
Mr. Percy Eley kindly gave it to me. Iris was tolerably common, 
and if I can only induce the female I have to deposit eggs, I 
trust I may be able to rear some imagos next season. As I was 
not seriously bent on collecting I caught but few species. Pionea 
stramentalis was very common. I have met with this species often 
before, but never saw it in such numbers; it was flying in 
company with Hbulea crocealis. Among other species I saw 
Aventia flexula, Cleora lichenaria, Macaria notata, Scotosia 
undulata, Dichelia Grotiana, &c. In midday, with the sun shining 
hotly, I caught a female of Zeuzera esculi flying high up over 
beech trees. I watched it some time (before it came within reach) 
flying over the dense wood, and was much puzzled by its appear- 
ance. On the golden-rod were larve of Cucullia asteris, but a 
careful search did not result in the finding of that of Cucullia 
gnaphali.—A. B. Farn; Dartford, July 23, 1880. 
A Week 1n THE NEw Forest.—On the 10th of this month 
I went to Lyndhurst for a week’s collecting. Strange to say, 
there were very few entomologists in the New Forest, possibly on 
account of its being apparently a bad season; the local collectors 
state they do not remember such a bad one for some years. Sugar- 
ing was of little or no use, only producing some half a dozen worn 
Leucamia turca, two Diphthera Orion, Thyatira batis, Luplexia
