to the Irish list. A specimen of A. ophiogramma was also 

 captured in the same place, July 26lh : it is a far belter and 

 fresher insect than one captured three years ago upon the 

 bank of a river in our demesne. This is the third record of 

 this insect in Ireland. The first is mentioned in Mr. Birchall's 

 List of Irish Lepidoptera, as taken by Mr. Tardy ; " locality 

 unknown." — [Mrs.] F. I. Batlershy ; Cromlyn, Rathowen,

Larv(B of Cucullia GnaphaUi. — I beg to inform you that I 

 have been fortunate enough to take a few larvaj of C. Gna- 

 phalii, feeding on the golden-rod, in company with C. Asteris. 

 Others were taken by brother members of the Haggerston 

 Entomological Society, who were down at Seal for the 

 Society's annual dinner, on Sunday, August 10th. Locality : 

 Seal, near Sevenoaks. — W. H. Danhy ; 56, Lawford Road,

 Waldegrave ; Bookham Lodge, Cobham, Surrey. 



Spilodes palealis, Acronycta Alni, and A. strigosa, at

 I have also taken Alni down here, and Strigosa at sugar. — 

 E. Thurnall; Whittlesford, September 17, 1873. 



Sphinx Convolvuli at Walthamstow. — My brother took a 

 fine female last evening, September 18th, whilst hovering 

 over flowers in his garden. During a visit to the New Forest, 

 in the early part of July this year, I took a good series of 

 Z. Meliloli, and a pair of Asellus, beside many other local 

 insects. Sugaring, however, was a dead failure. — Bernard 

 Cooper ; Higham Hill, Waltltamsiow.

 specimen of Sphinx Convolvuli was taken by my friend 

 Mr. Charles Ramsden, in his garden at Longroyde Bridge,
