192 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Note on D&IOPEIA PUICHELLA AND RucueLia Jacopz£e. — With 
reference to the remarks (Hntom. 166-8) concerning Deiopeia pulchella, 
there were large numbers of this insect on the wing in Malta on the 9th 
May last year. I am led to make this note from the fact that Newman, in 
‘ British Moths,’ p. 31, seems to imply all Kurope when he says, “ The 
moth appears in July.” I took a single perfectly fresh specimen. on the 
24th August of the same year at Rosas Bay, on the N.E. coast of Spain. 
Also Huchelia jacobea, which Newman, on the same page, says appears in 
July, was swarming here (Chatham) from the middle of May.—Puiuir DE 
LA GarDE; H.M.S. ‘ Pembroke,’ Chatham, July Sth, 1892. 
Cotas EDUSA IN 1892: AnpiTronaL Records oF CAFTURE.— 
Kent. —I captured, on 30th May, a specimen of C. edusa on the 
“ Warren,” a piece of rough ground near Bexley Heath, and another in 
Joyden’s Wood; they were both females, and in fair condition. I also saw 
several more on Dartford Heath, but was unable to secure any, owing to 
the high wind. I visited Dartford Heath several times afterwards, but did 
not meet with it again in this neighbourhood; but on 8th June I saw a 
male close to Kynsford, and a female on the downs near Shoreham.—P. T. 
Laruy; Warren Road, Bexley Heath, Kent, July 7, 1892. 
Essex.— During the month of June I have seen several C. edusa flitting 
about Chingford, and, although I have triea hard to capture one, still I have 
not succeeded. All that I saw seemed to be in good condition. This is a 
very unusual sight in this locality —Prrcy G. Crane; Chingford, Essex. 
Somersetshire.—I had the pleasure of seeing a specimen of C. edusa at 
Clevedon, Somerset, on May 31st. Vanessa cardui and Plusia gamma 
were very frequently seen then and early in June, and Nemophila noctuella 
in numbers almost everywhere ; the last named has scarcely been seen for 
some years previously. Vanessa urtic@ is now. very common here in Wales. 
—T. B. Jerrerys; Langhorne, Carmarthenshire, July 6, 1892. 
Oxufordshire.—I saw a female C. edusa, at Cowley, on the 29th May, 
but could not secure it, as I had not a net with me. On the 6th of the 
following month I took a female near Bledlow, and on the 10th a specimen 
was seen near Shabbington Wood by a friend of mine. He did not notice 
its sex.—F. W. Lampert; 17, Woodstock Road, Oxford. 
Hampshire.—More than a dozen specimens have been reported to me 
as having been seen or taken in various parts of the Gosport district.— 
W. T. Pearce; Gosport. 
CoLIAs HYALE IN WILTSHIRE.—It might interest readers of the ‘ Ento- 
mologist ’ to know that on the 19th of June last I caught a damaged speci- 
men of Colias hyale, three miles north of Salisbury, in windy weather, with 
some rain. — C. G. SELIGMANN; 26, Clifton Gardens, Maida Vale, N., 
July 2, 1892. 
VANESSA CARDUI AND PrustA GAMMA.—It may be interesting, in view 
of correspondence in the ‘ Entomologist,’ to know that, when I left home 
(near Exeter) about three weeks ago, V. cardui and P. gamma were 
plentiful ; the former were much worn, and evidently hybernated. There 
were swarms of P. gamma in the clover fields last August and September, 
but I had not seen a specimen of V. cardwi for years, nor any of C. edusa, 
except one (a male), in September, 1889, when out shooting.—H. F’. Srupp ; 
130, Queen’s Gate, 8.W., July 3, 1892.
