larvae or pupae would be greatly valued, and I should have much 

 pleasure in forwarding a list of my requirements to anyone willing to 

 help. Many eminent workers have given, and are still giving, 

 valuable assistance. Drawings and descriptions of the larvae and 

 pupge of three-fifths of the species are completed ; forty-five species 

 are partly completed, and at least fifty of the rarer species, or occa- 

 sional immigrants, will require to be drawn from continental larvae 

 and pupae.-^W. A. Kollason ; Lamorna, Truro, Cornwall, January

CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 



Agrotis lunigera and lucerna in Sussex. — Mr. Sharp, of 

 Eastbourne, while collecting Noctuse at sugar, upon the coast not far 

 from Seaford, captured specimens of both these species, but only in 

 small numbers. On a subsequent occasion I accompanied him to the 

 locality and we then obtained ohelisca, in addition to the above- 

 named. I think this very interesting, for, as far as I can find, this is 

 the first record of either A. lunigera or A. lucerna for Sussex. — 

 A. J . C. WiGHTMAN ; Ailsa Craig, Lewes. 



L. YiTELLiNA IN SussEX. — While Collecting at ivy bloom in the 

 Lewes district on October 19fch, I had the good fortune to take a 

 male specimen of L. vitelUna which, however, was rather worn. My 

 friend Mr. Sharp, of Eastbourne, also took a female specimen in the 

 neighbourhood of Polegate about a week previously ; his specimen 

 was also somewhat worn. — A. J. C. Wightman ; Ailsa Craig, Lewes.
