at Barron Wood, near Carlisle. At that time the Wood was open 
to entomologists, and the best locality in Cumberland. What 
with its destruction by the Midland Railway, and that curse to 
entomologists, game preservation, what is left of it might as well 
have been swept away entirely.—J. B. Hopaxinson ; 15, Spring 
Bank, Preston, September 13, 1880. 
CABERA ROTUNDARIA AT Dutron.—When collecting larve last 
September (1879) at the above place, by beating alder, I beat 
seven specimens of Cabera rotundaria ; some of them very strongly 
marked. Plenty of C. pusaria put in an appearance. Whether 
C. rotundaria is a variety, or not, I cannot say. Whether or not 
it is worthy of a name.—In. 
LipaRIS CHRYSORRH@A AND CLEORA VIDUARIA IN THE NEw 
FoREST: CORRECTION OF ERROR.—In reply to Mr. Jenner Weir’s 
remarks (Hntom. xiii. 207), I may say he is quite correct in both 
his queries. When I took the pupe I judged, from the dark. 
colour of the cocoon, that they were Liparis chrysorrhea; but 
when the moths emerged they proved to be L. auriflua. In 
reference to Cleora viduaria, the insect I took was a very late and 
peculiarly marked specimen of Tephrosia extersaria, the white 
blotch being scarcely apparent, and was pronounced to be in all 
probability C. viduaria by two persons I met collecting. On my 
arrival home I omitted to look at it more carefully, hence my 
error. I may also add to my captures, already enumerated, 
Zygena melilot.mPavut J. Lowrny; 61, Hackford Road, North 
Brixton, §8.W., September 11, 1880. 
Larva or SMerintuus popunt.—A handsome variety of what I 
believe to be this larva, not described in Stainton’s ‘Manual’ or 
in Newman’s ‘History of British Moths,’ was found by me on 
September Ist at Palmerston Park, near Dublin. The larva is 
ornamented on each side with a double row of ten reddish brown 
spots. The first five upper spots, counting from the head, are 
small; 6, 7, 8, large; 9, small; 10, large. The ten lower spots 
are all much the same size, 2.e. a little smaller than the large 
spots of the upper series. When the larva was found the spots 
were of a brighter (almost marone) colour than they are at 
present, but they have become duller as the pupa state is fast 
approaching. The red spot that is always found underneath the 
horn is present; also a red spot at the bottom of the horn on the
