skies and a temperature of 61, 56 and 62 degrees respectively. 
—F. W. Fronawk. 
HESPERIA MALV#%, ETC., IN Aprin.—On April 12th I took 
seven specimens of H. malv@ and one specimen of Callophrys rubi 
on a sunny piece of down near here. I thought this might show 
what a very early season this must be. I wonder if any readers of 
the ‘ Entomologist’ have taken either of these species as early as 
this.—J. M. Jaques; The Red House, Banstead, Surrey. 
Karuy Burrerriies.— The following early appearances this year 
are perhaps worth recording: Huchloé cardamines, Balliol College 
quadrangle on April 2nd; Pyramezs atalanta, Bloxworth, Dorset, on 
April 13th (several flying about wallflowers, ete., among scores of 
Vanessa 10).—A. W. Pickarp CAMBRIDGE ; Balliol College, Oxford, 
April 15th, 1921. 
AGROTIS SEGETUM IN Marcu.—A specimen of Agrotis segetwm 
(apparently fresh) was taken at sallow blossom on Mareh 22nd last. 
Mr. Capel Hanbury was with me at the time.—G. Vernon Butt, M.D.; 
Montagu House, Hoddesdon, Herts. 
GONODONTIS BIDENTATA IN Marcu.—On March 27th a specimen 
of G. bidentata came to my moth trap. In 1914 the first appearance 
of this species was on May 4th.—FrepErick GicLEeTT (Major) ; 
Cheriton House, Sevenoaks, Kent. 
Harty EMERGENCE OF COREMIA UNIDENTARIA.—On March 23rd 
I took a male specimen of the above insect on a fence in Oxshott 
village. The identification has been confirmed by Mr. H. Worsley- 
Wood.—F. G. Mann; 9, Parker Street, Cambridge. 
HYLOPHILA PRASINANA IN May.—While collecting on May 10th 
last I took a fine female specimen of Hylophila prasinana at rest on 
a fence in Harpsden Wood, Oxon. This wood is_ principally 
composed of beech trees, with a few birch and oak in one clearing. 
The date seems to be a very early one for this moth.—STANLEY 
N. A. Jacoss; 5, Exbury Road, Catford Hill, London, S.E. 6. 
THERONIA ATALANTH, Popa, IN Brirain.—When naming some 
ichneumons last winter I discovered a specimen of this fine insect 
which was taken or bred by my father, probably in the Colchester 
district, some twenty or twenty-five years ago. The only known 
British specimens are 2 g and 2 ? in the Stephens Collection and a 
single specimen taken near Folkestone (‘ Entom.,’ 1909, p. 65), all of 
which are at S. Kensington.—Brrnarp §. Harwoop; Sudbury, 
Suffolk.
