268 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



over specimen? The spot where the capture was made is very sheltered 

 for about a mile, and always warm, facing direct south across the 

 Bristol Channel. As the insect is alive, well, and vigorous, I hope to 

 obtain more eggs. — G. J. Randell ; " Rushbank," Barry, Glamorgan. 



CoLiAs EDUSA IN SussEX. — This butterfly was plentiful during 

 August at Bognor, and I took about a dozen specimens of each sex 

 in splendid condition. — M. Jacoby ; 1, The Mansions, Hillfield Road, 

 West Hampstead. 



CoLiAs HYALE IN WILTSHIRE. — I saw a Specimen of this insect on 

 Salisbury Plain on Aug. 21st. — N. Manders (Major, R.A.M.C.) ;

Heliothis peltigera at Bognor. — I captured a specimen of this 

 moth at dusk flying over wild flowers. It is the first record of the 

 species at that locality, according to Mr. Guermonprez, the resident 

 naturalist there. — M. Jacoby; 1, The Mansions, Hillfield Road, West 

 Hampstead. 



Vanessa antiopa in Kent. — One specimen captured at Dymchurch 

 while fluttering outside a window of a bungalow on July 26th, as 

 recorded by Mr, J. S. Mackintosh in the 'Field' of Aug. 6th. — 

 F. W. Frohawk. 



Lygris (Cidaria) reticulata in Westmoreland. — I have much 

 pleasure in recording the capture of a specimen of C. reticulata near 

 Lake Windermere, Westmoreland. The specimen (a female) was 

 taken on July 30th, and measures 1 jS- in. (80 millim.) in expanse. —

 S.fagi in Northants this year. — H. Turner ; Earl's Barton, Northants,

Notes from the New Forest. — Sarrothripus ^mdulamts (revayana): 

 While beating oaks and beech for larvfe yesterday, in one of the large 

 enclosures in the New Forest, if I had had my net with me, I might 

 have captured two or three dozen of this species without much 

 difficulty. I did not see Peronea cristana. Larvffi this year seem 

 plentiful as compared with last season. Among the larvas obtained 

 were ten yotodonta trimacula (dodoncu), and four Staurop^is facfi, with 

 many commoner things. — W. McRae; Bournemouth, Aug. 28th, 1904. 



Abundance of Catocala nupta. — While motoring along the York 

 Road on Sept. 13th and 14th, I was struck by the abundance of 

 C. nupta. I only saw those at rest on telegraph-poles, and between 

 London and Peterborough I must have seen dozeus, and these all on 

 the south side of the poles. In many places there were two or three 

 quite close together. Had I been able to examine the northern side of 

 the poles, also trees, palings, &c., the number would doubtless have 

 been greatly increased. — B. Harvey-Jellie ; Hartlepool. 



Larv;e feeding on Castanea vulgaris. — On Aug. 30th last I beat 

 out larvse of the following species of Lepidoptera from sweet chestnut : 

 Dasychira pudibunda, Hylophila 2^rrt.sina?!a, Lophopteryx camelina, 

 Acronycta psi, Moma orion, Amphidasys bt'tularia, and Tephrosia ex- 

 tersaria, — G. F. Lyle : Brockenhurst.
