250 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



gramma subochraria, which, on the wing, reminds one of Aspilates 

 citraria ; and Hyperythra panagrata (coming near Fidonia), a 

 little moth common throughout New Zealand. However, several 

 species of Crambites were numerous, and were to be kicked out 

 of every tussock. 



This ends my trip to Whitecliffs, for I returned to Lyttelton

ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 



Vanessa antiopa at New Malden. — I have much pleasure in 

 recording the capture of this lepidopteron at New Maiden, upon 

 the 20th of September. It was seen by my neighbour, Mr. C. 

 Andrews, sporting about some drain-pipes in his garden ; he 

 caught it with his hat and kindly presented it to me alive. It is 

 a female, and in fair condition. — H. T. Dobson, Jun. ; New 

 Maiden, Surrey, September, 1884. 



Vanessa antiopa near King's Lynn. — Early in September a 

 fine specimen of this butterfly was captured by Sir William 

 Ffolkes, Bart., M.P., in his own garden at Hillington. So far as 

 I know, this is the only specimen which has been noticed this 

 season in this neighbourhood ; but it is noteworthy that whenever 

 this species has of late years made its reappearance in this 

 country, Norfolk especially has been favoured with its presence. — 

 Edward Atmore ; Lynn, Oct. 9, 1884. 



Vanessa antiopa. — On September 28th I saw, but unfor- 

 tunately failed to catch, a fine specimen of Vanessa antiopa on the 

 Backwater Bridge, at Weymouth. After trying several times to 

 catch it in my hat, not having a butterfly-net with me, I gave up 

 the chase. — A. W. P. Cambridge; Weymouth College, Oct. 4. 



Colias edusa at Christchurch. — On October 5th I took a 

 fine male specimen of this butterfly in a garden here. It is the 

 third I have seen there this autumn, and about half a dozen speci- 

 mens were seen, but not taken, in the country near b} r my brothers 

 on the 4th. — A. Druitt ; Christchurch, Hants, October, 1884. 



Colias edusa in Hackney. — On the 11th inst. my friend 

 Mr. Chillingworth captured a fine female specimen of Colias
