Larva of Acronycta Megacephala in Aldgaie Churchyard. 

 — Last Friday, the 15th of August, as I was vvalkiug past 

 Aldgate churchyard, I saw a nearly full-grown larva of 

 Acronycta Megacephala crawling on one of the tombstones. 

 Having seen this one I looked more closely the following day, 

 and noticed several, out of reach, on the poplars overhanging 

 the corner of Houndsditch. I have no doubt as to their 

 identity, having bred several here; but was very much asto- 

 nished to find them in such a locality. — Tliomas Barns;

Plusia Interrogationis in Lincolnshire. — On the 23rd July, 

 1873, I took a fine specimen of Plusia Interrogationis flying 

 over some privet bloom. Has it ever been recorded as having 

 been taken in Lincolnshire? — Isaac Robinson ; The Whar/Cj 

 Grantham, Lincolnshire. 



Liparis Monaclta, Euholia mceniaia, 8fc., at East Grin- 

 stead. — On the 2nd of August, about 10 a.m., I found a fine 

 specimen of Liparis Monacha, excepting that it was a little 

 rubbed on the collar, on an oak-trunk in a field, about seven 

 feet from the ground : it was a female specimen. Also on the 

 4th I took, by beating, a female specimen of Lithosia quadra, 

 but too much torn for the cabinet. I have lately been taking 

 plenty of Apiciaria, which seems common this season. I also 

 have to record the capture of a fine specimen of Eubolia 

 mseniata on the lllh of August: I beat it from amongst fern 

 and long grass; there is plenty of broom growing in the 

 vicinity. — JV. Thomas; Ray Lodge, Lingjield, East Grin- 

 stead, Susse.v, August 13, 1873. 



Ennoinos fuscantaria. — 1 found a full-grown larva of 

 Ennomos fuscantaria on the 4th of July: it spun up and 

 turned to a fine female on the 16th of August. — /(/. 



Curious Variety of Rumia cratcegata. — I have a very 

 curious variety of R. Crataegata, that might be worth your 

 notice. I should be glad to send it on if you thought so. 

 It has a portion of the wings, between the veins, on one side 

 only suffused with the colour of the spots, giving it a most 

 curious look. I took it here some lime ago. — Jolin E. 

 Rob son ; Sea View, Hartlepool, August 13, 1873.
