192 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Epithecia Fraxinata. — I have taken E. Fraxinata this 

 year, I believe this is the first record of its occurring here. 

 — E. F. Bisshopp ; Museum Street, Ipstoich. 



Arfft/nnis Lathonia at Canterbury. — I have sent a speci- 

 men of Lathonia alive for you to see, one of four which I took 

 yesterday, August 4th, at Swarling Downs, the same place 

 where I took the species in 1868, which appeared to have been 

 doubted by many. I took the four specimens off the viper's 

 bugloss, all in about five minutes: it was mizzling rain at the 

 time. There are three very fine ones out of the four. — G. 

 Parry; Church Street, St. PauVs, Canterbury, August 5, 

 1872. 



Aryynnis Lathonia at Felixstow. — Whilst walking along 

 the coast of Suffolk, at Felixstow, a few miles north of 

 Harwich, on Friday, the 26th inst., I found lying dead on the 

 shore a specimen of the Queen of Spain fritillary (Argynnis 

 Lathonia). It is perfect in shape, and had antennae and legs

 had been a strong east wind all night, so probably it was 

 blown across from the Continent. — Edward Grubb ; Sudbury, 

 July 31, 1872. 



Vanessa Antiopa near Cosham. — I had the pleasure ot 

 seeing a fine specimen of Vanessa Antiopa, taken near here, 

 on July 29th, 1372, by a Mr. Tranter, a collector, from 

 Portsmouth. — George Taylor; Broomjield, near Cosham, 

 Hants. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Scarborough. — A fine specimen of 

 Vanessa Antiopa was captured here this morning. It is a 

 little rubbed at the edges of the wings, but otherwise in 

 perfect condition. The marginal band is of the pale cream- 

 colour, usually considered typical of British specimens. — J. 

 H. Rowniree; Scarborough, August 22, 1872. 



Vanessa Antiopa in London. — I had the pleasure to exhibit 

 at our Society, the Haggerstone, last night, a splendid speci- 

 men of Antiopa, caught the day before : it flew in at an open 

 window near Euston Square. — J. Moore; 51, Chapel Street, 

 Pentonville, August 23, 1872. 



Vanessa Antiopa at Stamford. — On the 23rd August I 

 saw a fine specimen of this rare butterfly, about a mile from 

 the town of Stamford, just outside the boundary of Burleigh 

 Park. Lhad an excellent view of the beautiful insect, which
