THE ENTOMOLOGIST, 197 
N. Elymi: I took it in the hope of obtaining eggs, but in this 
was disappointed, as she died without depositing egys. 
Halonota grandevana, Zell., came out towards the end of 
June, and is becoming more plentiful than when I first met 
with it three years ago. Gelechia gracilella: ever since L 
took the first specimens of this insect, in 1870, I have done 
my best to make it common; but up to the present season [ 
have not obtained more than a dozen specimens; the locality 
where I took most of them has been taken for building 
ground, and the hedge-rows replaced with brick walls. ‘There 
yet remain two other places where it has occurred singly, 
and where I hope to obtain specimens for my friends.— 
Christopher Eales; Laygate Street, August 10, 1875. 
Captures near Buxton.—On the 9th of August I had an 
hour on the moors, near the ‘Cat and Fiddle, a country inn 
about five miles from Buxton. I was not over well prepared 
for collecting, and had only about forty boxes with me, 
: which I filled with about twenty-four Penthina sauciana, 
and the rest with Peronea Caledoniana and Pe. Geminana. 
1 never saw more insects. The patch of Vaccinium was 
literally alive with those and other species. I should not 
have gone but for meeting with Mr. W. C. Boyd, of Ches- 
hunt; and he called my attention to P. sauciana. I never 
before met with this insect.—J. B. Hodgkinson ; 15, Spring 
Bank, Preston, August 6, 1875. ; 
Vanessa Antiopa near Ashford.—\t may interest your 
entomological readers to hear that I caught a good specimen 
of Vanessa Antiopa in the village-street at Wye, near Ash- 
ford, Kent, last Saturday, August 14th.—/S. R. Majendie ; 
 Chartham, Canterbury.—From the ‘ Field’ 
d Vanessa Antiopa near Wells, Norfolk.—While driving 
yesterday in the neighbourhood of Wells, in Norfolk, I saw a 
_ fine specimen of Vanessa Antiopa, which my father secured 
with his hat. It is a fresh and perfect specimen. I believe 
that several were killed on this coast three years ago.— Cyril 
Dighy ; Buxton —From the ‘ Field, 
Vanessa Antiopa at Chertsey.—If it can interest British 
entomologists, 1 beg to inform you that J caught on St. Ann’s 
Hill, Chertsey, Surrey, on the 10th of August, on a windy and 
_ cloudy afternoon, a splendid specimen of Vanessa Antiopa— 
— Wailly; 110, Clapham Road, S.W., August 21,
