THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 175 



Rhodocera Rhamni near Carlisle. — I enclose you a speci- 

 men of G. Rhamni I took ibis morning near Orton, by 

 Carlisle. I tbink it is a new species here, for I bave never 

 heard of its appearance before. I bave found M. Artemis 

 larva very common here ; and Orgyia Fascelina I have taken 

 about twenty of, on the heaths and on birch : it feeds well 

 on the hawthorn. — George Dawson ; 6, English Street, Car- 

 lisle, May 20, 1872. 



Deilephila Livornica at Worcester. — Last week, when 

 looking through the cabinet of a friend of mine residing in 

 Worcester, I noticed a fine specimen of Deilephila Livornica, 

 which was taken in a garden in that town in the month of 

 September, 1870. As he was unaware of your publication, 

 and quite an amateur collector, he failed to make known the 

 capture of so rare an insect, which I hope may now prove 

 interesting to you and the readers of your valuable liltle 

 work. — H. Stafford Gustard ; Newport, Monmouthshire, 

 May 20, 1872. 



Lithosia quadra near Newcastle-on-Tyne. — It may be 

 interesting to your readers to hear that a fine male specimen 

 of Lithosia quadra was taken on the town moor about a week 

 ago, and is now in my collection. It has, I believe, occurred 

 once before in this district, a specimen having been taken 

 not far from Sunderland. — J. C. Wassermann ; 20, Summer- 

 hill Terrace, Newcastle-on-Tyne. 



Saturnia Carpini and Cucullia Scrophularia two seasons 

 in Pupa. — Noticing in the July number of the 'Entomo- 

 logist' (Entom. vi. 130) the fact of Saturnia Carpini remaining 

 in the pupa state until the second season, I can myself vouch 

 for it, as i had six pupae in the season of 1870, four of which 

 emerged at the usual period ; the other two produced fine 

 specimens the following season. They were thrown aside as 

 useless with a number of other pupae, amongst which were 

 some discarded cocoons of Cucullia Scrophulariae, which, to 

 my astonishment, also produced four perfect insects the 

 second season. — W. G. Colbourne ; Bridge Street, Stratford- 

 upon-Avon, July 4, 1872. 



Acronycta Alni bred. — Last autumn I recorded the capture 

 of two larvae of A. Alni in the ' Entomologist.' I now write to 

 say a most lovely specimen emerged from the pupa yesterday 

 afternoon, and is now displayed on my setting-board. I
