NOTES. 

 Subulina oetona, Chemn. in Kew Gardens.— Recently i have had 



sent to me, through the kindness of ^Ir. I. H. Burkill. living examples of this 

 species found in Kew Gardens. They were found by Mr. G. Nicholson in one of 

 the tropical forcing pits, and there are said to be plenty of young ones, but few 

 adults. A West Indian moth was recently found in a similar pit. 



Mr. Cockerell {Sci. Gossip, 1893, p. 26) has recorded the species, on the 

 authority of Mr. J. R. Hardy, from hothouses at Manchester. — E. R. Sykes. 



Notes on some Specimens of Pleetopylis.— Mr. Coilinge has been so 



kind as to send me for inspection the specimens of Plcctopi/Iis contained in the 

 Theobald collection in the Zoological Museum of Mason University College, 

 Birmingham, with a request that I should make a note of them for this journal. 



There are eight shells, of which two pertain to a species recently described by 

 me as new.
