DEILEPHILA LIvoRNICA av BournemMouTH.—On the 27th of 
September last a specimen of this rare moth was taken at rest 
from the trunk of an apple tree in a garden in this town. The 
lad who found it, knowing nothing of moths, carried it alive in 
a glass to Mr. White, a young friend of mine, who is an ardent 
collector. Mr. White, after having set it, brought it to me for 
identification, and I was pleased to be able to inform him that 
he was the fortunate possessor of an undoubted specimen of 
D. livornica. It is rather remarkable that a specimen of this 
moth was found last year at rest on a pear tree by a little boy 
in a garden in Bournemouth, and near the same locality.— 
W. M‘Rart; Westbourne House, Bournemouth, Oct. 9, 1880. 
CaTOcALA FRAXINI.—I had the pleasure of taking this fine 
insect at sugar, near this town, on 27th September last. The 
specimen is in fair condition, but had evidently been some time 
on the wing.—J. H. A. JENNER; 4, Hast St., Lewes, Oct. 19, 1880. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA IN Lincotnsurre.—I beg to record the 
capture, by me, of a perfect specimen of Deiopeia pulchella in a 
meadow on the coast not far from here, on August 2lst. Being 
only a young entomologist I was not aware of the rarity of my 
capture until a week since.—Anni& Dows; Boston, Lincolnshire, 
October 11, 1880. 
DEIOPEIA PULCHELLA AT Fotxrstone.—A fine specimen of 
this scarce species was captured by my sister on a grass-border in 
Augusta Gardens, Folkestone, on October 8th. It was evident 
that it had very recently emerged from the pupa. I hear of 
another specimen having been taken near Dover.—A. H. Mrnyri1; 
St. John’s College, Oxford, October 22, 1880. 
SESIA CULICIFORMIS NEAR YorK.—In the middle of last June, 
when walking on the outside of Sandburn Wood at night, I gave 
a look with my lantern at the flowers of the mountain ash growing 
in the hedge, and, to my surprise and delight, I saw and quickly 
boxed a very fine specimen of this species. I beat another from 
a birch tree during another day. This is the first time I have 
taken this species near York after collecting here for over twenty 
years.— W. Presr; 19, Holgate Road, York.
