Entomological Notes and Captures. 



Colias Edusa in Cornwall. — A mistake occurs in my com- 

 munication (Entom. ii. 338), where it is stated that 77 cap- 

 tures were made on llie 1st of November : it should stand 

 thus : up to and inchiding November 1st, 901 : subsequently, 

 during November, 71: total 972. — Stephen Clogg ; East 

 Looe, Decenjber 16, 1865. 



Argyniiis Lathouia in the Isle of Wight. — On the 4th 

 of November two of my friends each brought me a specimen 

 of Argynnis, which by their kindness are now in my col- 

 lection. They were taken on the same line of cliff as those 

 previously taken by me and already recorded (Entom. ii. 340), 

 and are of similar size. — Alfred Oicen ; Bush Cottage, 

 Ventnor, Isle of IVight, November 24, 1865. 



Arge Galathea : tar. without black markings. — A single 

 specimen of a variety of A. Galathea, having the black 

 markings absent, but supplied by others of a golden brown 

 hue, was taken by me in the summer of 1864, and the cap- 

 ture subsequently made known in 'Young England' (iv. 81). 

 Having since heard that this lovely variety has become 

 rather common, I should like to know whether this is really 

 the case. I should also be glad to hear if any of the Lepi- 

 doptera-coUecting contributors to the 'Entomologist' have 

 noticed it during the past season. I have several times 

 visited the same spot where I took this variety (a rough 

 grassy pasture, where A. Galathea abounded throughout the 

 months of July and August), but have not since met with it.

Nemeubins Lucina bred. — I have been fortunate enough 

 to breed this butterfly this season. Some eggs were sent to 

 me which hatched about the 3rd of June. Its natural food,
