Crescent, Colchester, September 13, 1880. 
CH@ROCAMPA CELERIO IN KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE.— On the 8th 
inst. the gardener at Edenbank, near here, handed me a match-box, 
with the remark that it contained a big moth that he had taken 
out of a “speedurt’s waab.” Judge of my pleasurable surprise 
when I found it was a very fair specimen of C. celerio! It was 
so recently dead as not to require relaxing. On going to see the 
place where it was got I was shown a mass of spiders’ webs just 
above the greenhouse stokehole-fire. I have no doubt it had flown 
to the hight. From the same spot, three years ago, I obtained a 
Sphinz convolvuli, which had doubtless been attracted in the same 
manner. Possibly the unusually fine warm summer we have had 
here may have something to do with the occurrence of such a 
rare species as C. celerio. But I suppose such queries as ‘‘ Where 
had it been bred?” and ‘‘ How had it wandered so far north?” 
cannot be answered.—Ropert Survice; Corberry Hill, Maxwell- 
town, N.B., October 18, 1880. 
CH@ROCAMPA CELERIO IN O_pHAM.—I have just obtained a 
specimen of this rare insect, taken on September 14th, at rest 
on some pig-iron at an iron-foundry.—Joun T'ayLor; 228, Chad- 
derton Road, Oldham, October 9, 1880. 
CH@ROCAMPA CELERIO AT Burron.—On the 6th inst. I had 
a specimen of Cherocampa celerio brought to me in very fair 
condition ; it was foundin Mr. Bass’s brewery-yard.—G. Baker ; 
Alnis Villa, Ashby Road, Burton-on-Trent, October 12, 1880. 
CH@ROCAMPA CELERIO AT SHEERNESS.—I captured a fine and 
perfect specimen of Chewrocampa celerio at Sheerness-on-Sea, on 
October 10th.—J. H. Dartey; 19, Constantia Terrace, Marine 
Town, Sheerness-on-Sea, Oct. 14, 1880. 
CHGROCAMPA CELERIO, &¢c., AT CHICHESTER.—That the past 
season has not been one remarkably favourable to the lepidopterist 
will, I expect, be the dictwm of most collectors. In this neigh- 
bourhood the Papilionide were very poorly represented, except 
by the two species of Pieris, P. brassice and P. rape, which, alike 
in the larval and perfect states, never, I should say, appeared in 
larger numbers. Colias Hdusa, though the clover was exceptionally 
luxuriant, was to be met with very sparingly, and Vanessa cardui
