Drepanule.—P. Lacertula and Falcula, with C. spinula, 
represented this small family. 
Noctue.—The season for Noctue had scarcely arrived, and 
the hot, dry, calm nights, were not propitious for sugar, so 
that my captures were not numerous. T. Batis, A. Aceris, 
C. Or, C. Duplaris, a very fine var. of G. Trilinea, and a 
few very common species, were all I observed. 
Pyrales.—E. octomaculalis, A. nemoralis, Pandalis, Lan- 
cealis and Fuscalis,.with several common species, complete 
my captures; and, for so short a stay, show that Kast Sussex 
is a good entomological locality.

Migration of Butterflies——June 4th. This morning very 
large numbers of white butterfliles—of two species, Pieris 
Brassice and P. Rape, the latter, however, greatly pre- 
dominating—came into the North Lincolnshire marshes from 
the Yorkshire coast of the Humber (which, opposite this 
point, is from four and a half to five miles across). For an 
hour that I was near the sea embankment they were con- 
stantly passing inland, flying, too, against a rather stiff 
south-west breeze. Looking towards the centre of the river 
with a strong glass I could distinguish flights of them far 
away, flickering in the blaze of sunlight, against the gray 
background of water, like falling snow-flakes. 1 remember a 
very similar immigration of white butterflies into these 
marshes in the dry summer of 1870.—John Cordeaux ; 
Great Cotes, Ulceby, June 6, 1874. 
Pyrarga Egeria (Entom vii. 129).—There is a plantation a 
little distance from this town where, amongst many other 
things both rare and common, Pyrarga Egeria may be met 
with in some abundance, and, contrary to the experience of 
your correspondent Mr. Harwood, the insect seems of late to 
have increased in numbers in this particular locality. In 
fact, I have always regarded it as one of the common species, 
and have seldom taken the trouble to procure any. In some 
pasture-land adjoining the wood, Melitaa Artemis was at one 
time to be found in great profusion; but for the last two or
