COLIAS EDUSA AND CiRRHCEDIA XERAMPELINA AT BrOMLEY, KeNT. 



On Sept. 11th I saw a male specimen of Colias edusa flying in a lane 

 between Bromley and Grove Park, and when sugaring at Bromley on 

 Sept. 1st, I took a very worn Cirrhcedia xerampelina. The occurrence 

 of these insects so near to London this year is perhaps interesting. —

Sphinx convolvuli in Surrey. — I took a fine pair of this insect 

 hovering over 'Sicotiana a(finu shortly after dark on Sept. 21st. — A. B. 

 Thompson ; Garlands, Red Hill, Sept. 26th, 1904. 



Sphinx convolvuli at Chichester. — Sphinx convolvuli has not been 

 uncommon in this locality during the autumn. The first specimen 

 recorded in my diary was taken on Aug. 6th. The moths continued 

 appearing throughout that month till the beginning of October. — 

 Joseph Anderson. 



Sphinx convolvuli and Laphygma exigua near Tunbridge Wells. 

 The only specimen of S. convolvuli I have seen this year was brought 

 to me at the end of August — a fine male example in very good con- 

 dition ; the largest of that sex I have ever had. The expanse of wings 

 is 4|^ in. I also have the pleasure to report the capture of a perfect 

 specimen of L. exigua at Southborough on Sept. 23rd, 1903. It is the 

 first I have taken, and I was very much surprised, as I always thought 

 it was a coast insect. — M. M. Phipps ; Woodside View, Victoria Road, 

 Southborough, Kent. 



Sphinx convolvuli and Colias edusa in Devonshire. — A specimen 

 of S. convolvuli was taken by my brother off a telegraph-post here on 

 Aug. 25th, and another example was brought to me in a tin by some 

 lads, who found it in some allotment-grounds in this neighbourhood. 

 Colias edusa was taken by us on three occasions in August this year 

 (one female and three males). — S. L. & J. Walker; 3, Goodwin 

 Terrace, Bronshill Road, Torquay, Oct. 13th, 1904. 



Sphinx convolvuli in Selkirkshire. — A specimen of this insect 

 was taken in good condition on a wall in Galashiels on Aug. 18th. — 

 B. Weddell ; Selkirk. 



Captures at Sugar at Chichester. — Sugar has not been very pro- 

 ductive here this season. Amongst my captures may be mentioned 

 Acronycta aceris, A. 2)si, Cucullia verbasci, Calymnia trapezina (one very 

 pale), Cosmia dijfinis, and Miana strigiUs — a meagre list, season after 

 season showing little signs of improvement in this mode of collecting.

Cleora glabraria, &c., in Dorsetshire. — In July this year I took 

 a very good specimen of Cleora glabraria at Carne Wood, near Wey- 

 mouth, and have reason to believe that this is a new locality for this 

 species. I was beating in one of the footpaths when I captured it, and 

 I have seen no other specimens taken around Weymouth. In the 

 same month I here took four very fresh specimens of Argymiis paphia
