though closely allied. I hear, upon very good authority, that the 
Coleophora larvee, which feed on the seeds of the sea chenopodium, 
will not eat the seeds of the common chenopodium of our fields. 
I therefore incline to the opinion that when the cases of the two 
are compared, and we are better acquainted with their natural 
history, the salt-marsh insect will have to be separated from 
C. tengstromella, which name at present applies to both.—Wm.

Nores rounp Bromury, Kentr.—As there have been no notes 
in the ‘ Entomologist’ about the season in this part of Kent, 
my experiences may be interesting. The season as a whole has 
been decidedly bad, although not nearly so much so as in other 
localities. Sugar, indeed, has been almost an entire failure, only 
one good insect coming to the sweets during the whole season, 
viz., Dicycla oo, and that in very limited numbers. On the other 
hand, during June and July, Geometre were abundant on warm 
evenings, such insects as Acidalia pusaria, A. exanthemaria, 
Lodis lactearia, Hypsipetes eiutata, and Hemithea thymiaria being 
very common, while Phorodesma bajularia, Geometra papilionaria, 
Pericallia syringaria, Corycia temerata, Melanthia albicillata, M. 
unangulata, &e., were taken in smaller numbers. On the fences, 
in the early part of the year, Acidalia trigeminata, Lobophora 
hexapterata, Coremia propugnata, and Ligdia adustata were the 
best among numerous commoner species. In September and 
October the lamps and ivy were quite as productive as at the 
same time last year, but sugarstill continued almost useless. At 
the lamps Ennomos tiliaria, Eubolia cerviniaria, Hydrecia micacea 
and Anchocelis lunosa were of frequent occurrence; and I took 
one specimen each of Hpione apiciaria, Ennomos erosaria, and 
Cirredia xerampelina. At ivy there was an abundance of insects, 
although the greater number were common species, chiefly consist- 
ing of Orthosia lota, Cerastis vaccinn, C. spadicea, Anchocelis 
pistacina, and the other usual visitors to the tempting blooms. —

Captures IN NorroLx.—Owing toill health I was compelled 
to leave London, in November, 1881, and from that time till 
September, 1882, I remained at Great Yarmouth (a place that 
entomologically has been known to yield its share of good 
things), taking occasional trips into the Fens. During the spring
