94. Vanessa Antiopa. At Rotbeiham woods, and also near Barnsley, this fine but- 

 terfly has been captured several times: a friend who accompanied me on a late tour 

 obtained a specimen two years ago in Wombwell wood, but in returning to Manches- 

 ter the coach upset, and his box and Antiopa were crushed to pieces. I saw a speci- 

 men captured twenty years ago ; by exposure in a glass case the colour has faded a 

 little. — R. S. Edleston ; Cheetham, Manchester., August 27, 1841. 



95. Orgyia antiqua. In the neighbourhood of Manchester the larva of this insect 

 emerges from the egg in June or July, and the moth appears in September. The eggs 

 are often to be found in winter, on the hedges, attached to the cocoon of the female. 

 This totally differs from the account (in the last number of this work) of the same in- 

 sect in the vicinity of London, which is probably to be accounted for by the slight 

 difference in temperature. — Joseph Sidebolham ; No. 10, Byrom Street, Manchester, 

 September 1, 1841. 



96. Pontia Daplidice. I took a single specimen of this butterfly at Lyminge, six 

 miles north west of Hythe, Kent : Colias Hyale was not unfrequent in the same loca- 

 lity a few years back. — William Tylden, B.A. of Balliol College, Oxford ; September 

 2, 1841. 



97. Deilephila Euphorbia. I have taken a specimen at Seven Oaks. — Id. 



98. Abraxas ulmata. I have taken this at St. Julien's, near Seven Oaks, the seat 

 of the Right Hon. T. Herries.— /f/. 



99. Polia nitens. I took a specimen on the wing at Askam Bogs, on the 21st of 

 June, 1841. — Thomas H. Allis ; York, September 13, 1841. 



TOO. Polia occulta. On the 26th of July I found a splendid specimen of this fine 

 insect, resting on the trunk of a Scotch fir, at Langwith, near York. I believe this 

 neighbourhood is a new locality for both the above. — Id. 



101. Captures of Lepidoptera at York. Seeing that the pages of The Entomolo- 

 gist' are open to correspondents, I have forwarded you a list of Lepidoptera which I 

 have captured in the neighbourhood of York, during the present year ; it may perhaps 

 be of service to some of your subscribers, should you think it worthy of insertion.
