lie has taken this new geometer at Plumstead : its discovery 

 and identification were first annoiuiced in the 'Entomologist,* 

 a few months back, by Mr. Doubleday. 



Sterrha Sacraria at Southsea. — Last evening (Angnst 22), 

 in a lane near Sonthsea, I captured a fresh specimen of 

 Sterrha Sacraria ; it was at rest on a grass-petiole, the 

 wings being acutely roofed over the body, which gave it a 

 curious appearance. It had apparently just left the puparium, 

 and aired its wings. I hope to take more, as it was evidently 

 bred in the locality. Fore wings light straw-colour, with a 

 light pink oblique stripe ; hind wings white. — Henry Mo7i- 

 creaff; Southsea^ August 21, 1867. P.S. — I took a second 

 specimen of Sterrha Sacraria on September 2nd. — H. M. 



Sterrha Sacraria in Lancashire. — Returning about eleven 

 o'clock at night through a field close by ray house, after 

 sugaring, about a fortnight ago, a moth flew to the light of 

 the lantern. I succeeded in capturing it : it proved to be a 

 very beautifully marked specimen of Sterrha Sacraria. I un- 

 derstand it has never been taken in this locality before. — 

 S. J. Capper ; Huyton Park, Huytoji, Lancashire, August 

 21, 1867. 



Sterrha Sacraria in Lancashire. — Looking over the col- 

 lection of one of our local Entomologists near here a few 

 days ago, I observed four specimens of Sterrha Sacraria in 

 it, which he assured me he took himself this season ; and 

 thinking the fact of this species having been taken in Lan- 

 cashire might interest some of your readers, and spur on 

 others to work more carefully, I send note of it. — C. S. 

 Gregson ; September 2, 1867. 



Sterrha Sacraria at Newark. — Late in the evening of 

 August 19lh a female Sterrha Sacraria, attracted by the light, 

 came in at the open window of my room, and was secured in 

 fair condition. — George Gascoyne. 



Sterrha Sacraria at Plumstead. — On the afternoon of 

 Saturday, the 7th of this month, I captured Sterrha Sacraria 

 among some long rough grass at Plumstead. — Charles Boden ; 

 127, Tooley Street, Borough, September 23, 1867. 



Sterrha Sacraria- in the Isle of Wight. — On Wednesday, 

 the 14th of August, I captured a fine specimen of Sterrha 

 Sacraria flying about midday, and on the 16th I captured 

 another specimen at sugar ; both are females, and I have
