240 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Vanessa ANTIOPA NEAR PonpER’s Enp.—I beg to record the 
capture of a splendid large specimen of Vanessa Antiopa on 
August 22nd last. It was taken in a hat, while at rest on a bed 
of nettles, by a person who was out fishing. The captor also saw 
another example on the same day. This beautiful insect was 
exhibited at the Kast London Entomological Society on Septem- 
ber 8th, and has since been added to the collection of Mr. John 
T. Carrington.—D. Prarr; 898, Mile End Road, London, E., 
September 20, 1880. 
Vanessa AnTIopA IN Norrotx.—A fine specimen of Vanessa 
Antiopa was taken near Aylsham, at the end of August, by Mr. 
George H. Asker; and another (I think it could have been no 
other butterfly) was seen by two of my friends on Mousehold, 
close to Norwich. They described it as “a curious butterfly, 
quite black,’ which they had seen flying about. This was on 
September 2nd.—Joun B. Bripeman. 
Lycm/nA Ba@ticaA NEAR Boanor.—On September 12th, while 
at Aldwick, near Bognor, Sussex, I went into the garden shortly 
after breakfast. I almost immediately saw a specimen of this 
rare butterfly at rest on a geranium. Having obtained my net I 
succeeded in taking it— Herbert Epwarp Durnam; 82, Brook 
Street, Grosvenor Square, W., September 21, 1880. 
Variety oF Lycmna Corypon.—While on a visit to Folkestone, 
last August, I took a female Lycena Corydon in perfect condition, 
in which a beautiful fawn-colour, or more correctly pale cinereous, 
replaces the usual very dark brown ground colour.—H. Hopes ; 
33, Almorah Road, Islington, N., September 15, 1880. 
Hermarurovite Lycmna Atexis.—I captured near this place, 
on August 21st, an hermaphrodite L. Alexvis. It was rather worn.

CATOCALA FRAXINI NEAR BARNSLEY. — On September 6th I 
captured a perfect specimen of Catocala fraxini at sugar in my 
own garden. — W. Wuire; Darton House, Barnsley, Yorks., 
Sept. 21, 1880. 
CATOCALA FRAXINI NEAR ABERDEEN.—On the 30th August, 
and two nights after, a specimen of C. fraxini was seen at sugar 
on the same tree, and just as my friend was about to capture him 
he went off. I tried again myself, but have failed in seeing it. I
