luteata, on the same day. Phorodesma bajularia were flying very 

 abundantly between seven and eight o'clock p.m., July 5th, when 

 I succeeded in netting six fine specimens, but most of them were 

 flying out of reacli ; I never before saw them so numerous at 

 one time : this was at West Wickham. I also caught during the 

 same month Ellojria fasciaria, Macaria liturata, Fidonia piniaria ; 

 for the latter, Newman gives April and May as time of appearance, 

 but I have generally found it most abundant about the third week 

 in June. Also, during July, Acidalia emarginata and one female 

 Apatura iris, taken on the wing, near Chatham ; and Pachyncmia 

 hippocastanaria on August 13th. Vanessa atalanta was very 

 plentiful during September and October. V. cardui was fairly 

 common, and I took five in perfect condition on September 23rd, 

 and noticed a great number of hybernated specimens during May 

 and June. I did not try "sugaring" until the second week in 

 October, when I then took on one evening Amplupyra pyramided, 

 Scopelosoma satellitia, Miselia oxyacanthce, Cerastis vaccinii, 

 Anchocelis pistacina, and Xanthia ferruginea ; Orthosia lota on 

 the 9th and 13th. C. vaccinii and A. pistacina were very abundant 

 on most evenings at " sugar," and also at ivy bloom. During the 

 same month, at gas-lamps, I took Cidaria miata, Eubolia cervi- 

 naria, and E. tiliaria, on the same evening ; and a good series of 

 Hybemia defoliaria on the 30th and 31st, including a very dark 

 variety. I did not see one V. io during the whole season. The 

 long row of palings surrounding part of Addington Park, on the 

 West Wickham side, usually so productive of various moths, was 

 quite a failure all through the season, as I searched them many 

 times without any good result. On four occasions I searched 

 them at seven o'clock a.m., in August and September, and not a 

 lepidopterous insect was to be found. — Fred. W. Frohawk ;

Huntingdonshire Diurni. — The list of Huntingdonshire 

 butterflies in the ' Entomologists' Monthly Magazine,' contained 

 the names only of those species caught by myself within 1882-3, 

 numbering forty-two. Mr. J. Jenner Weir having referred to 

 the list, and given such an excellent one from Sussex, I should 

 like to add those species which were omitted, but yet are 

 authentic captures : — 43 Papilio macliaon, 44 Argynnis lathonia, 

 45 Polyommatus hippothoe, 46 Melitcsa artemis, 47 Vanessa c-album, 

 48 Satyrus semele, 49 Vanessa antiopa?, 50 Aporia cratcsgi, 51
