280 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
September a gentleman who was with me caught a specimen 
of Deiopeia pulchella flying at dusk on the cliffs near the 
Land’s End, Cornwall; and, by searching near the same 
spot, I myself subsequently caught three more,—two on the 
20th, and one on the 22nd September. All four specimens 
are in fine condition, and appear as though lately emerged 
from the chrysalis—Annie Michael; 3 & 4, Great Win- 
chester Street, London, E.C., September 28, 1875. 
Deiopeia pulchella at Bournemouth.—I have to record the 
capture of Deiopeia pulchella on the coast of South Hamp- 
shire. Two were taken, and another seen, by the daughters 
of Lady Hester Leeke, who kindly presented me with one of 
them. Lady Hester has also sent me the following note on 
the subject :—“ The first was taken on the grass-plot before 
the house at West Cliff, in the afternoon of September 16th ; 
and the second on the East Cliff, near Boscombe Chine, 
among the tufts of stunted vegetation near the edge of the 
cliff, also in the afternoon, about three days after the capture 
of the first. They fly very slowly near the ground.” The 
spots upon the fore wings of both specimens are much 
smaller than in the few foreign specimens I have seen; but 
such a variation is, I believe, not uncommon amongst conti- 
nental examples of this beautiful, and until of late years very 
rare, British species. A friend informed me some time since 
that the species is very common in some parts of India.—

Deiopeia pulchella and Epione vespertaria at Waltham 
Cross.—On the 19th of September last, when on the look-out 
for Colias Edusa and C. Hyale in a clover-field here, I took 
a specimen of Deiopeia pulchella. It is quite perfect and 
very fresh, apparently only just emerged from the chrysalis. 
It was flying heavily, settling occasionally on the heads of 
clover. On the previous afternoon I caught a male Epione 
vespertaria in the same field, at rest on a piece of wood; 
unfortunately its wings are somewhat crumpled. I believe 
this is a new locality for both species.—Arthur W. Paul; 
Waltham Cross, October 4, 1875. 
Deiopeia pulchella in Devonshire.—A female specimen of 
Deiopeia pulchella was taken on the wing, on the afternoon 
of October 2nd, in Challice’s nursery here.—J. Purdue ; 
Ridgeway, Plympton, Devon, October 19, 1875.
