THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 271 
Sphinx Convolvuli here lately, one of which has come into 
my possession; and another has been found in the garden 
here.—John Grubb; The Woodlands, Hitchin, September 
25, 1875. 
Colias Edusa and Sphinx Convolvuli at Hendon.—On 
September 13th a male Colias Edusa was taken in the garden 
here by my friend Mr. Brown; and on the 26th, a fine female 
Sphinx Convolyuli was brought me; it was found at rest on 
a post. In the evening of the same date I took a male, as it 
was hovering over a bed of scarlet geraniums.—R. South ; 
Goldbeater’s Farm, Mill Hill, Hendon. 
Sphina Convolvuli, Colias Hyale and C. Edusa abundant 
at Ipswich.—Sphinx Convolvuli has been very plentiful here 
throughout September; and Colias Hyale and C. Edusa 
have swarmed everywhere.—C. £. Long; Borough Asylum, 
Ipswich. 
Lycena Acis near Cardiff —F¥our specimens of Lycena 
Acis were taken near Cardiff last year, and one more this year 
by Mr. Williams, of Marlborough College, one of which is in 
my possession.—N. Manders ; Marlborough College, Wilts. 
Deilephila Galit at Weybridge.—My brother and | caught 
two specimens of Deilephila Galii here, in August, several 
years ago. ‘They were flying over such flowers as verbenas, 
geraniums, &c. I have recorded this because I believe the 
moth is rare.—Oswald Milne; Weybridge, Surrey, October 
9, 1875. 
Sphinx Convolvuli in Guernsey.—This fine hawk-moth 
has been unusually abundant in Guernsey this autumn. The 
first specimen was brought me on August 26th by a little 
girl; she had found it at rest on the arcade steps. On 
August 28th another specimen was brought in a chip-box ; 
but, as may be supposed, it was too much battered to be of 
any use as a specimen. September 6th, a boy brought a fine 
specimen, taken on the window of a house in Pedvin Street. 
September 16th, a lady collector brought me a fine specimen 
to kill for her; and on the same day a friend sent me a fine 
specimen, which had been taken in King’s Road. Septem- 
ber 17th, a specimen brought, taken on the door of a house in 
Mount Durand. September 18th, my friend Mr. Derrick 
called to tell me he had been informed by a lady that Sphinx 
Convolvuli were very abundant in her garden in King’s Road,
