little village on the borders of Dartmoor. I have also had the 
pleasure of capturing three more Xylina petrificata at Newton 
Abbot.—Charles G. Vicary; Knowles, Newton Abbot, Devon, 
October 22, 1875. 
AXanthia aurago near Willesden.—On the 18th September, 
in company with Mr. A. Priest, 1 sugared an open fence near 
Willesden Junction, and was rewarded with a fine specimen 
of Xanthia aurago, an insect I did not expect to meet with 
so near London.—C. Seabrook ; Marlborough Square, Chel- 
sea, September 22, 1875. 
Cirredia xerampelina in Scotland.—I\ took a good speci- 
men of Cirreedia xerampelina here, on the night of the 30th 
August last, at sugar.— Robert Service ; Maxwelltown, Dum- 
Sries, N.B., October 1, 1875. 
Cirredia xerampelina at Hendon.—In the autumn [ am 
in the habit of sugaring the foliage of pyramid yews, Arbor 
vite and other shrubs, as I find that insects come more freely 
at this period of the year to sugar when laid so, than when 
spread on the trunks of trees. It was on a yew so baited I 
had the pleasure of taking a fine pair of Cirreedia xerampe- 
lina; one, a female, on the 7th of September, and on the 8th 
a male on exactly the same spot. Xanthia gilvago has been 
rather common here this season.—R. South ; Goldbeater’s 
Farm, Hendon. 
Eremobia ochroleuca in Cambridgeshire.—I see that in 
Newman’s ‘ British Moths,’ Brighton and Lewes in Sussex, 
Bristol, Suffolk, and Yorkshire, are the only localities given 
for Eremobia ochroleuca. I took two or three specimens 
about the middle of August, some five or six years ago, at 
Gamlingay, in Cambridgeshire; they were flying about 
thistles and other wild flowers by day. I saw several others, 
but did not take them.—John T. Sarll; 8, High Street, 
Camden Town, October 7, 1875. 
Ennomos fuscantaria.—On the evening of September 22nd 
I took from the street-lamps two specimens of Ennomos 
fuscantaria; one in good order; the other was unfortunately 
spoiled in boxing.—Joseph Anderson, jun.; Alresford, 
Hants. 
Catocala electa at Brighton.—On the 24th of September 
I had the good fortune to take at sugar, about eight miles 
from Brighton, a specimen of Catocala electa, which I think
