NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
Hurois occuuTa In Essex.—I am glad to be able to record the 
occurrence of this fine moth in Essex. Four specimens were taken 
ab sugar on July 30th, 1914, in a wood not far from here by my 
friends Messrs. J. F. Johnstone and C. Cork. They are all of the 
dark form var. passetiwt. I am not aware of any previous record of 
this moth having been taken in Essex, and it does not seem to have 
been recorded at all recently from the southern half of England.—
