almost like migration. They appeared as soon as it was dusk on 
various evenings, and continued to come for nearly an hour. The 
most remarkable circumstance was that I noticed no females on 
the green-sward of the terrace below to account for their appear- 
ance in such quantities. 
July 7th.—The long straight mines of Phytomyza plantaginis, 
Goureau, running parallel to the mid-vein of the leaf of the 
ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata). Robineau Desvoidy says, 
“it hollows out a very narrow gallery, at the end of which 
it changes into a yellowish pupa.” 
July 8th.—Reared Phytomyza affinis, Macquart, from leaves 
of the knapweed (Centaurea nigra). Ina letter, dated August 4th, 
Dr. Meade observes :—‘“I think that P. affinis and P. albiceps are 
probably only varieties of each other, the chief point of distinction 
being that in the former there is a narrow pale line in all the 
abdominal segments, while in P. albiceps there is only one (wider) 
on the penultimate segment.” 
July 25th.—In May or June of this year a friend, residing at 
Driffield, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, reared from a larva of 
the garden tiger, Chelonia caja, examples of Eworista chelonie, 
Rondani, which he put into my hands. I sent them at once to 
Dr. Meade, and I learn that Rondani bred this fly, one of the 
Tachinidae, from a similar pupa. Dr. Meade says, “I have not 
seen an English specimen of this fly before, though I have two 
German ones.”
