have one. Others were taken, but unfortunately got damaged in 
travelling. Am I right in believing this to be a new record for the 
county ?—ArtHurR Buss; 43, Gleneldon Road, Streatham, 8. W. 
ACRONYCTA MENYANTHIDIS EMERGING In NovEMBER.—On looking 
in my pupa-cage on November 3rd, I was surprised to find that a 
female specimen of Acronycta menyanthidis had emerged from pupe 
sent me from “ Barnard Castle,” all collected this year. They were 
kept in a glass-top bottle in a room with no fire, temperature about 
55° to 60°. I thought it would be interesting to record this, because 
I can find no record of so late an emergence.—H. L. Douron; 
27, Brunswick Street, Reading, November 17th, 1913. 
HARIAS CHLORANA IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—In August, 1912, the Rev. 
G. M. Smith found about a dozen larve of this species feeding on the 
osiers growing on the Severn bank near Gloucester. One or two 
imagos emerged in the following September, but the rest hibernated 
as pupee and came out at intervals during May, June, and July of 
this present year. It is curious that this species has not apparently 
been observed in this county hitherto.—C. GRANVILLE CLUTTERBUCK, 
F.E.S.; 23, Heathville Road, Gloucester, November 16th, 1913. 
Hypotion (CHHROCAMPA) CELERIO IN Hants.—A specimen of 
C. celerio was caught by a cat in a house in this parish last 
September. The locality is less than a mile from the sea, between 
Lymington and Christchurch. -—(Rey.) J. E. Kentsatn; Milton 
Rectory, New Milton, November 22nd, 1913. 
DapPHNis (CHAROCAMPA) NERII.—One of these very rare visitors 
occurred here this season, and was captured on September 16th. 
The moth was seen on the wing at about 4.15 p.m. by two small 
village boys, who eventually succeeded in their endeavours, with the 
aid of their caps, &c. The following day it was brought to my house 
(partly for identification), being a pitiable sight but still alive; it is, 
nevertheless, sufficient to serve as a record. My friend Mr. Brown 
of Ainsdale kindly lent me the moth for exhibition at the November 
meeting of the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society.—

CATOCALA FRAXINI IN Lancos.—A specimen of Catocala fraxint 
(Clifton Nonpareil) was caught at Grange-over-Sands, Lanes, 
September 7th, 1913, in the grounds of Yewbarrow Hall, the 
residence of Hvan A. Leigh, Esq.—J. Davis Warp; Limehurst, 
Grange-over-Sands. 
Conias EDUSA REARED IN Kent.—On May 23rd, 1913, my son 
brought to me a female Colzas edusa he had caught with his cap in 
a waste field not fifty yards away from our house. I succeeded in 
keeping it alive for three weeks. During that time it kindly obliged 
with one hundred and fifty ova; these I placed singly in airtight tins 
with a glass top, my intention being to try for a second brood, but 
the larvee grew so slowly that I had to abandon the idea. The first 
imago emerged on August 15th and the last on September 9th. I
