' NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 241 
have been successful in capturing some larve from the same tree, 
but cannot tell as yet what they are. In the north here we have 
to wait patiently to see what a rare larva turns out, for no 
one seems to know anything about them. Do you think they are 
those of C. fraxzini? In the months of July and August sugaring 
was of no use here; but I am now taking over fifty moths each 
night since the 4th September.— Jonn Munpiz; Aberdeen, 
September 14, 1880. 
[The larvee found by Mr. Mundie are not probably those of 
C. fraxini, which is said to be full-fed in July. Our correspondent 
will find a good description of the larva of this species at p. 464 of 
Newman’s ‘ British Moths.’—J. T. C.] 
CaTOCALA FRAXINI NEAR Bristou.—I captured at sugar in 
Leigh Woods, near Bristol, on September 1st, a specimen of 
Catocala fraxini. It is unfortunately in bad condition, much 
worn and broken. I was accompanied by a friend, Mr. H. A. 
Smith; and Mr. J. W. Clarke, of Park Place, Clifton, saw the 
insect soon after capture.—G. C. GrirritHs; 8, Cotham Side, 
Cotham, Bristol, September 7, 1880. 
DEILEPHILA LIVORNICA AT KinastaAnp. — At midday on the 
15th September my father had the good fortune to take a specimen 
of this rare hawk-moth at rest on the pavement in Mansfield Street. 
It had been evidently lured by the light of the neighbouring shops. 
Unfortunately it had damaged itself a little. It is now in the 
collection of Mr. J. A. Clark, of Hackney.—W. J. Harprr; 
66, Mansfield Street, Kingsland Road, September 18, 1880. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA.—I took a fine specimen of this moth, 
flying over a fallow field close to the sea, at Rottingdean, on the 
morning of Tuesday, September 7th.—R. H. Tirnerineron ; 
Stanley House, Rottingdean, September 11, 1880. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA at Dover.—I captured a fine female 
Deiopeia pulchella near Dover, on Sunday, September 12th.— 
W. J. Austen; Radnor Street, Folkestone. 
LITHOSIA QUADRA NEAR FoLKESTONE.—I was much surprised 
to find a female specimen of Lithosia quadra one morning this last 
summer while walking between Folkestone and Sandgate. Mr. 
Blackall, ofthe former town, tells me he also took a single speci- 
men some years ago in the same neighbourhood.—J. R. WrLiMan ; 
219, Elm Park, Brixton Rise, 8.W., Sept. 6, 1880.
