THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 259 



Lincolnshire. A very fine specimen of Vanessa Antiopa 

 was taken here on Sunday, the 27th of October. It was in 

 perfect condition, and the markings very clear, but the border 

 not very deep coloured. — Mrs. Cross; Appleby Vicarage, 

 Brigg. 



Norfolk. August 27, 1872. Mr. R. A. Rising informed 

 me he saw one in his garden at Horsey on this date. Four 

 others were caught about the same date, by my friend Mr. H. 

 Hickling, in a small meadow adjoining the Heigham Cause- 

 way, in Norwich ; and I had one brought me by a lad, who 

 knocked it down with his cap in Pottergate Street, and it was 

 therefore rather damaged. On the 4th of September Mr. S. 

 Meachen,who was driving through Croslwick, six miles from 

 Norwich, counted as many as seven, near the Marl Staithe; 

 and further along the road, near the Horstead Marl Staithe, 

 he saw another. I have received information of numerous 

 other instances, in which individuals have been observed; 

 but the above instances are more specially authenticated. — 

 T. E. Gunn ; 5, Upper St. Giles' Street, Norwich. 



Northumberland. One seen at Rothbury, near Morpeth. — 

 J. H. Rowntree. 



Suffolk. Captured at Oakley. — ' Land and Water,'' Sep- 

 tember 7, 1872. 



Warwickshire. A fine specimen with pale margins was 

 taken near Warwick, on the 22nd August, by Mr. C. S. H. 

 Perceval.— J. S. Baly ; The Butts, Wancick, Oct. 30, 1872. 



Yorkshire. Since 1 sent you a notice of the capture of a 

 specimen of V. Antiopa in this town, several others have been 

 seen or taken in the neighbourhood; and 1 have also heard 

 of the following occurrences of the insect in other places, in 

 addition to those recorded in last month's 'Entomologist.' 

 Four specimens seen at York, and one taken in the same city, 

 on the 29th of August, by Mr. Hind ; one or two at Sheffield ; 

 and one at Bradford. — J. H. Rowntree ; Scarborough. 



SphiiKv Convolvuli, Tillus unifasciatus, and Poiiera con- 

 tracta, near Warwick. — I have either seen or taken the 

 following species, amongst others. Sphinx Convolvuli : picked 

 up in the street by my son, on Saturday last. Tillus unifas- 

 ciatus: two specimens on elm-posts, at Barford, three miles from 

 here. Ponera contracta : a single female, taken in my garden.
