 supernumerary and mid cross-veins are close together, the posterior 

 cross-vein about its own length towards the base of the wing.

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



NONAGRIA NEURICA IN THE MaDDISON COLLECTION. — I SCO the 



' Entomologist ' on p. 124 records that the late Mr. Maddison's 

 melanic Nonagria neurica came from Horning. This was an error 

 in the label, as these N. neurica came from myself, and were not 

 Norfolk specimens. So far as I know, melanic examples of N. neurica 

 have not been taken at Horning, where Messrs. Bowles, Edelsten, 

 and myself have taken very many specimens of the typical form. — 

 A. Kobinson; 5, King's Bench Walk, Temple, E.C., May 4th, 1909. 



Saturnia pavonia, ab. — Yesterday I captured a rather remarkable 

 variety of Saturnia pavonia, which I should describe as a "blind" 

 variety, as it has the spots where the eyes usually are blank. This 

 is probably the rare variety mentioned in ' Moths of the British Isles.' 

 The spots on all four wings are identical. The centres are filled in with 

 pale fuscous colour, with no shading whatever. I took the specimen 

 on the Quantock Hills near here. It is a fine male. By the way, 

 the species seems well-established here, as I saw over two hundred 

 in just over an hour and a half. — W. A. Bogue ; The Bank House, 

 Watchet, Somerset, May 3rd, 1909. 



Gynandrous Amorpha populi. — Although I believe gynandrous 

 specimens of A. ijopuli are, comparatively speaking, common, it may 

 be of interest to record that I have just bred a very fine one, left side
