NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 245 
Foop-PLant or CELHNA HAWORTHI.—Like your correspondent, Mr. 
Searancke (Entom. 222), I should be glad to know of some other food-plant 
for Celena haworthii besides cotton-grass. I took a nice specimen, flying 
over the heather in the bright sun, on August 22nd, and another in the 
same spot the following day. On the 24th another was brought to me, it 
haying flown into one of the rooms at the top of the castle at night. Iam 
the more anxious to know the food-plant of this species, as I obtained ova 
from the second which I took. As far as I have observed, no cotton-grass 
grows about here at all.—(Rev.) J. C. Macxonocuiz ; Douglas Castle, 
Lanark, Sept. 2, 1892. 
SIREX GIGAs AT CHICHESTER.—A very fine female Sirex gigas was 
taken here on August 24th. In some years they are plentiful in this 
locality.—JoserpH ANDERSON, Jun. 
‘Srrex guvencus 1n Mippiesex.—I had a female specimen of this 
sawfly brought me yesterday for identification by a friend, who had 
captured same in Belsize Park.—JosmrpH H. Carpenrer; Streatham, 
Sept. 6, 1892. 
Tue CoxteopreraA or Norrouk.—Mr. J. Edwards, of Colesborne, 
Cheltenham, is preparing for publication a list of Norfolk Coleoptera. 
The ordinary sources of information having been exhausted, he appeals to 
those who have collected in that county for lists of their captures. 
CARSIA IMBUTATA AND CrpariA popuLATA IN LancasHire.—In 
August last I took a good many C. imbutata at the place where I took 
Celena haworthii. Cidaria populata was common in the same locality, 
amongst them being a good proportion of dark varieties. — (Rev.) J. ©. 
Macxonocuig ; Douglas Castle, Lanark, Sept. 2, 1892. 
ButrerFiigs In THE ALpEs Maririmes.—On an excursion to a moun- 
tain near here, called the Pepiori (8774 ft. above sea-level), on July 18th 
last, I captured the following species of Rhopalocera, viz. :—Pveris callidice 
(several, abundant, but passé); Colias phicomone (three males); Melitea 
parthenie v. varia, Meyer-Diir (three females, common); Hrebia melampus, 
Esp. (or cassiope ?, probably the former ; one), aud a single female specimen 
of Canonympha iphis, Hiib. ; these latter seemed to be nearly over. Near 
the top L secured Hrebia mnestra, Hiib., one male and two females ; also 
E. tyndarus (type); this last species is not very common here, being usually 
replaced by the var. dromus, H.-S., or by a form intermediate between the 
typical insect and the above-mentioned variety. J also took two males and 
two females of L. gorge, Esp., and, near the top, a very fine example of the 
ab. erynis, Esp. 1 had the misfortune to break my uet short at the handle 
at this juncture, but notwithstanding persevered. The great prize, however, 
was undoubtedly Hyebia lappona, Esp., which I only saw at the summit 
itself. It was the only species on the wing, except a solitary Vanessa 
cardui. I took three specimens (a male and two females), all worn. As far 
as Iam aware, it is new to the entomological fauna of the district. —F’, 
Bromitow; St. Martin Vésubie, Alpes Maritimes, France, Aug. 5, 1892. 
Notes on THE Season: WinDERMERE.—Sugaring here, duriug June 
aud July, has this year proved quite a success. L have been in Windermere 
since June 22nd, and from that date till the end of July I sugared nearly 
every evening with varying success, Some nights the patches of treacle
