NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 121 



men of Euchloe was seen, nor was T. hallus met with, nor T. Cas- 

 sandra. What may appear as the season advances remains to be seen. 

 The locality is clearly one not to be despised, though this first sampling 

 suggests that it has neither the richness nor variety of Hy^res. 



A further week's stay results in a marvellous advance of vegeta- 

 tion being observed; trees are green instead of brown, the horse- 

 chestnut almost in flower. One still notes the absence of any 

 Euchloe, of Thais cassandra, and of Thestor hallus. No ground suit- 

 able for either of the latter has been noticed. L. baton is abunbant 

 in places, T. medesicaste frequent, and L. celtis more often seen 

 than the rarity of its food-plant would make one expect. Another 

 notable absentee is P. cardui ; but V. polychloros is almost abundant, 

 and io, atalanta, urtica, antiopa, and c-album frequently occur. T. 

 tages and G. phlaas are frequent, and mcera, machaon, melanops, and 

 pamphilus have put in an appearance, with T. ruhi common in places. 

 L. sinapis is now abundant, and may frequently be seen ovipositing 

 on Dorijcnium suffruticosum. — T. A. Chapman ; April 14th, 1909. 



Genitalia of the Noctuid^. — Some expressions in the notice 

 of Mr. Pierce's volume (Entom. April, 1909) suggest that your re- 

 viewer has overlooked the excellent work of Elwes and Edwards on 

 the Oriental Hesperidge, and especially the very complete examination 

 recorded in the ' Biologia ' of the appendages of the Hesperidse of 

 Central America. — T. A. Chapman ; Betula, Eeigate, April 2nd, 1909. 



The Entomological Club. — A meeting was held at Wellfield, 

 Lingards Eoad, Lewisham, on March 12th last. Mr. Eobert Adkin 

 in the chair. Other members present were Messrs. Donisthorpe, 

 Hall, and Porritt, and there were several additional guests.
