Larvee of C. Villica on Furze. — Referring to the remarks 

 on this subject in June 'Entomologist' (Entom. vi. 105), I 

 have also taken this season a considerable number of this 

 larvae on the furze itself, and also on the grass, &c., growing 

 round the furze bushes on Dartford Brent. I think, however, 

 that the Rev. A. C. Hervey is wrong in saying that \hey feed 

 on the furze. My idea is that they simply crawl upon it, as 

 being a convenient place to bask on, their food being grass 

 and other plants surrounding the bushes. — Geo. W. Bird; 

 27, Hamilton Terrace, St. John's Wood, N. W.,June 6, 1872. 



Eupithecia pusillata near Newcastle. — As it is not gene- 

 rally known that this pug is a northern species, I have much 

 pleasure in stating that I took a pair in May, 1871, near 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne. — C. Eales. 



Aporia Cratmgi Larvce. — 1 took a web of A. Crataegi larvae 

 in the winter off a young pear tree, and have just taken two 

 nests off young damson trees in our orchard, and one off a 

 hedge-row near. — IV . J. Skelton. 



Stauropus Fagi. — I had the pleasure of taking a very fair 

 specimen of S. Fagi at Leith Hill, on the 9th of June. It was 

 at rest on the trunk of a pine tree, about six (ieet from the 

 ground. — E. Munday ; 54, Driffield Road, Old Ford, Bow, E., 

 June 12, 1872. 



Grapta C-Alhum bred in July. — During the third week of 

 June 1 found a larva of Grapta C-Album nearly full fed, on 

 elm, in our garden hedge-row, which changed to the chrysalis 

 state the following week, and appeared in the imago yester- 

 day morning, July 10th. This specimen is of the second 

 variety mentioned in your ' British Butterflies.' — Charles J. 

 Waikins ; King's Mills, Painswick, Gloucestershire, July 

 11, 1872.
