NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 289 
CHG@ROCAMPA CELERIO IN DorsErsHtrE-—I have this morning taken 
a specimen of Cherocampa celerio at rest inside my bedroom window.— 
O. W. Benruaty; Oborne Rectory, Sherborne, Dorset, Oct. 1, 1892. 
CH@ROCAMPA CELERIO IN Kent.—A fine specimen of C. celerio was taken 
in a shop in this town on the evening of October 21st, and is now in my 
possession. Last autumn, whilst watching flowers of N. affinis, I saw a 
small dark Sphinx, which I took to be celerio, hovering over the flowers. 
It returned twice, but, from the celerity of its movements, I was unable to 
catch it—C. Viecrers ; 86, Hardinge Road, Ashford, Kent, Oct. 25, 1892. 
HEsPERIA LINEOLA.—I was too late for the larva of this species this 
season, as I did not return from Hong Kong until the 6th July, and then 
spent about three weeks in North Devon and Somerset, and did not get to 
Dovercourt until the 23rd of the month. The next day was mostly dull, 
but I went out and found seven fine lineola sitting on grass, and one worn 
linea. The 25th was very dull and cold; but the 26th was bright, with a 
strong easterly breeze, and upon reaching the locality I found lineola in 
fair numbers, and soon boxed about a hundred of them. However, I was 
quite ten days too late, for many of the males were much worn, and only 
about one in three worth taking.—Gervase I’, Matnew; H.M.S. ‘ Tyne,’ 
Chatham, Sept. 19, 1892. 
SPHINX CONVOLVULI IN 1892.—Records have been received as follows :— 
Devon.— A specimen of Sphinaw convolvuli was brought to me by Mr. R. 
Gibbons, who took it on a paling adjoining the Exmouth Golf Links on 
September 21st.—Joun M. Cripps; Belle Vue, Exmouth, Devon. 
Hampshire.—I beg to record a fine female specimen of the above, found 
in a shop here on September 6th, which was given to Mr. Claxton, who has 
been staying here for a few days. It is almost a perfect specimen, being a 
little rubbed at the tips of the wings. I have never heard of the species 
occurring in the New Forest before, and have not seen any others this year, 
though I have searched for it several times at Christchurch.—J. M. ApyE ; 
Brockenhurst, Sept. 19, 1892. 
Kent.—On September 21st Mr. Andrews, the Bexley Heath naturalist, 
took a slightly worn female Sphina convolvuli, crawling on the asphalte in 
front of his shop.—P. J. Laray; Warren Road, Bexley Heath, Kent, 
Oct. 5, 1892. 
I captured a fair specimen of Sphina convolvuli on August 26th at 
Seabrook.—D. CuirrenDEN; Willesborough Lees, Ashford, Kent, Oct. 1. 
Middlesex.—On the evening of Sept. 6th I caught a splendid specimen 
of Sphina convolvuli (female) on the wing at the foot of Grove Hill, 
Harrow.—C. Raoaprs SmurrH ; Greenhill, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Sept. 14. 
Suffolk.—This morning a lady friend brought me a fine male specimen 
of Sphinaw convolvuli, which was found on a newsagent’s shop window almost 
in the centre of the town. It is two inches and a half across the wings 
from tip to tip.—Guo. Crour; St. Margarets, Ipswich, Suffolk. 
EMMELESIA ALBULATA DoUBLE-BROODED.—A specimen of EH. albulata, 
in very good condition, has just flown to the window of my sitting-room, 
Whence it was quickly transferred to a cyanide-bottle. Newman and 
Stainton both give it as being single-brooded, and such I have always 
hitherto found it to be. ‘These occasional second broods are very interest- 
ing, but to me quite unaccountable in a season like this; for although it
