eggs, and finally larve, about the 15th of April, and I would 
suggest that the larve found by Mr. Robinson-Douglas in 
June were hatched from eggs laid in the spring, and not 
hybernated larve. I may also mention that I have two 
chrysalids from the larve I had hatched in the spring, from 
which I expected the perfect insect to emerge last August or 
September, but there seems no sign of such an occurrence 
even now; and I suppose I must expect the perfect insect 
to emerge next spring. But is not this very unusual? as I 
shall have no autumn brood of Carpini.—George W. Oldfield ;

Deiopeia pulchella in Hampshire (Entom. vii. 259).—“ I 
am the captor of D. pulchella, on the lst of October, 1818, 
at Hurne, near Christchurch. It is the only one I ever took, 
but I believe I saw two previously in September of the same 
year, and passed them as common white moths, and indeed 
was nearly passing the other, till it settled on the stubble so 
often that I was induced to look at it, and was most wonder- 
fully surprised, as it was an insect I could not fancy was 
British. This was at six o'clock in the morning, and 1 
immediately returned to the house, and, having set out the 
moth, I wrote to Dr. Leach, who put it in Samouelle’s 
‘Entomological Calendar.”—The late J.C. Dale.—([In a 
letter addressed to Mr. Corbin, who remarks :—“ Fifty-six 
years, to the very day, have elapsed between the two 
captures.” —Edward Newman.] 
Deiopeia pulchella and Cherocampa Nerii near Lewes.— 
On Friday, the 5th of June last, I took a fresh, though rather 
pale specimen of Deiopeia pulchella in a field of trefoil; and 
on the 3rd of September a relative of mine gave me a damaged 
specimen of Cherocampa Neri, which he had taken at rest 
in his garden in the middle of the town of Lewes. Is not the 
capture of Pulchella in June a rather uncommon event ?—

Eupithecia Knautiata of Gregson (Entom. vii. 255) = 
E. minutata of Hiibner.—1 have read with considerable 
astonishment Mr. Gregson’s note on his supposed new 
species of EKupithecia, which he proposes to call E. Knau- 
tiata. I am wholly at a loss to know by what process of 
reasoning Mr. Gregson has arrived at his conclusions. All 
I can say is this,—I have had the Bolton insect in all its
