268 THE ENTOMOLOGIST, 



over specimen? The spot where the capture was made is very sheltered 

 for about a mile, and always warm, facing direct south across the 

 Bristol Channel. As the insect is alive, well, and vigorous, I hope to 

 obtain more eggs. — G. J. Randell ; " Rushbank," Barry, Glamorgan.

Notes from the New Forest. — Sarrothriptts undnlanufi [revayana) : 

 While beating oaks and beech for larvre yesterday, in one of the large 

 enclosures in the New Forest, if I had had my net with me, I might 

 have captured two or three dozen of this species without much 

 difiiculty. I did not see Peronea cristana. Larvfe this year seem 

 plentiful as compared with last season. Among the larvse obtained 

 were ten ^otodonta trimacula {dodonea), and four Stauropus fat/i, with 

 many commoner things. — W. McRae; Bournemouth, Aug. 28th, 1904. 



Abundance of Catocala nupta. — While motoring along the York 

 Road on Sept. 13th and 14th, I was struck by the abundance of 

 C. nupta. I only saw those at rest on telegraph-poles, and between 

 London and Peterborough I must have seen dozens, and these all on 

 the south side of the poles. In many places there were two or three 

 quite close together. Had I been able to examine the northern side of 

 the poles, also trees, palings, &c., the number would doubtless have 

 been greatly increased. — B. Harvey-Jellie ; Hartlepool. 



Larv^ feeding on Castanea vulgaris. — On Aug. 30th last I beat 

 out larvse of the following species of Lepidoptera from sweet chestnut : 

 Dasychira pudibunda, Hylojyhila 2:)rasinana, Lophopteryx camelina, 

 Acronycta psi, Moiiia orion, Amphidasyn betuUiria, and Tephrosia ex- 

 tcrsaria. — G. F. Lyle ; Brockenhurst.
