_ of White Bedstraw in the afternoon. June 28th, near our osier 
beds at 9 p.m., I netted a fine specimen of that beautiful Tinea, 
Aristotelia hermannella, a species apparently new to our county 
list. July 12th a larva of Calocampa exoleta was feeding on 
seeds of dock on a hilly road-side, a fine ¢ being reared October 
3rd. Mompha conturbatella was found amongst Epilobiwm 
angustifolium (July 24th), and Sophronia semicostella beaten from 
a hedge (July 26th) on our hills, both species so far as I know 
being new records for Gloucestershire. 
During a seaside holiday in North Devon, from August 2nd to 
the 22nd, my most noteworthy captures were Gelechia (Lita) 
fraternella on the 8th and a fine 3 Agriades corydon at the back 
of the sandhills on the 15th. These species do not appear to 
have been recorded from Devon before. 
I also found Plebetus egon amongst heather on the downs, 
but, according to the ‘Victoria County History,’ it has only 
hitherto been recorded from South Devon. 
In conclusion, my grateful thanks are due to Mr. K. Meyrick, 
F.R.S., for kindly naming most of the micros, and to Mr. Claude 
Morley, F.E.S., for identifying the flies.

NOTES ON THE SEASON OF 1920 IN WEST 
SUSSEX. 
By C. M. Wooprorp. 
On March 8th, a fine sunny day, Hugonia polychloros was 
seen on a window in the house. This species has hibernated in 
the house on a former occasion. From March 19th to 23rd the 
weather was bright and warm, and Gonepteryx rhamni, Aglais 
urtice, Eugonia polychloros and Vanessa io were observed on each 
day. On March 23rd a single male Euchlo¢ cardamines was seen, 
and on 28th Pieris rape. On March 31st my diary records 
the capture of four Huchloé cardamines @, and an EH. polychloros 
? was captured and liberated. From April Ist to 22nd the 
weather was dull and cold and the emergence of everything was 
retarded. On April 28rd the first female of 7. cardamines was 
observed ; just a month after the appearance of the first male. 
It was not until May 7th that Pieris napi was seen, and on May 
11th Pieris brassice. On May 12th, the weather having set in 
fine and warm, Nisoniades tages was out in abundance, and one 
individual of Chrysophanus phleas was seen. On this date a 
single Pyrameis atalanta was observed settling on the roadway 
of a lane near a clump of nettles. The same individual, indenti- 
fied by a peculiarly damaged wing, haunted the same spot daily 
until June 16th, a period of over a month. On May 14th
