OccuRRENCE OF AcHERONTIA ATROPOS AT CAMBRIDGE. 
[‘ Zoologist,’ iv. (1846) p. 1508.1 
CaTERPILLARS at Cambridge, feeding on what is there called the 
“tea-tree ’’ full grown at the end of July; one in a very warm 
situation became a perfect insect by the middle of September. A 
perfect insect was also caught near Cambridge in the early part of 
the year. I mention these, because of the times of appearance, 
which, to my very limited experience, seems unusual.

OccuRRENCE OF SPHINX CONVOLVULI NEAR NOTTINGHAM. 
[‘ Zoologist,’ iv. (1846) p. 1513.] 
A sPEcIMEN at Beeston, near Nottingham, in the middle of 
September, and several others near Newark. I have not seen more 
than half a dozen specimens taken in all previous years in this 
neighbourhood.

OccuRRENCE OF THE Locust NEAR NorrinGHAM. 
[‘ Zoologist,’ iv. (1846) p. 1520.] 
A xapy, whose entomological knowledge and extensive travels make 
it probable she is not mistaken, assures me she has lately seen 
Locusta migratoria” in her own garden at Lenton, near Nottingham.

Pachytylus cinerascens or Schistocerca peregrina, those being the two species of 
migratory Locust occasionally found in England.—Eb., |
