THE ENTOMOLOGIST. -221 



Deiopeia pidchella at Brighton. — My friend Mr. Howard 

 Nicholls, when walking on the East Cliff, between Bedford 

 Street and Bloomsbmy Place, about a quarter before seven 

 on the morning of the 5th inst., found, sitting on the pave- 

 ment, a beautiful female specimen of D. Pulchella, which he 

 kindly presented to me alive a few hours afterwards. The 

 specimen is a fine one, measuring one inch and eight lines ; 

 and, judging from its perfect condition, had probably only 

 emerged from the chrysalis a few hours before its capture. — 

 H. Goss; Brighton, September 21, 1872. 



Colias Edusa. — While collecting with Mr. Farn in the 

 middle of Dulwich Wood, last week, I was much surprised 

 at our stirring up a pair of Edusa. Is not this a singular 

 locality ? — H. Ramsay Cox ; West Dulwich. 



fmago of Vanessa Urtiae with head of the Larva. — I have 

 bred a specimen of V. Urticae with the head of the larva : it 

 has been flying about freely with the others, although it 

 seems impossible that it can see ; the antennae are entirely 

 absent. The specimen has been seen alive by several 

 members of the Haggerstone Entomological Society. — J. 

 Clark: 11, Duncan Place, London Fields, Hackney. 



Interhreeding of Vanessa Polychloros and V. Urticce. — In 

 the beginning of August [ found a specimen of Urticae 

 in coitu with a Polychloros. The Urticae died about a week 

 ago; but the Polychloros, which I suppose to be the female, 

 is still alive, and seems to be hybernating. I am much afraid 

 I shall not get her to lay in the spring, as, although I have 

 confined many females on elm, I find that Polychloros 

 persistently refuses to lay in the spring. — [Rev.] G. H. 

 Baynor ; Hazeleigli Bectory, Maldon, Essex, Aug. 26, 1872. 



Vanessa Polychloros in North Lancashire. — I captured 

 here, to-day, a specimen of the large tortoiseshell butterfly 

 (Vanessa polychloros). There are but few instances, I 

 believe, of this species having been taken in the North of 

 England. — James Murton ; Silverdale, near Carnforth, Sep- 

 tember 4, 1872. 



Acronycta Alni in Charnicood Forest. — 1 saw a very fair 

 specimen of A. Alni taken at rest on a fir-tree in Charnwood 

 Forest, on July 15lh. — H. H. Bull ; Harrow. 



Polyommatus Hippothoe at Hackney Marshes. — Wliile 

 taking a walk with a friend on the 8th inst., across Hackney
