NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. up| 
Morus CaprureD By Licut-TRAP.—My friend, Mr. F. Gillett, 
who has a house on the North Downs, near Chevening (Kent), has 
sent me a list of the Moths that have been attracted by a large trap 
of his own design during the months of March, April, and May. I 
think his captures in this manner may prove of interest to readers 
of the ‘ Entomologist.’ He writes :— 
The following is the result of a moth-trap, made like a cupboard 
with three glasses herring-bone fashion in front, which exactly fits 
into the window; inside are three 30 c.-p. electric lamps, the door 
at the back being fitted inside with a looking-glass, and the side with 
a small window covered by a shutter. The trap is on castors, to be 
easily movable. It is run from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., when the light is 
automatically shut off by an alarum clock downstairs. In February 
and March it was only run for a few nights, with the result: one 
Chestnut (vacciniz) in February, and one Small: Quaker (cruda) in 
March.
