410 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



CoLiAs EDUSA IN CHESHIRE. — On September 24th I took a specimen 

 of Colias eclusa at Parkgate in the Wirral peninsula of Chesire. — A. 

 W. Boyd ; The Alton, Altrincham, Cheshire, October 19th, 1911. 



Colias edusa in Cornwall. — A few specimens were seen in the 

 Lizard district during September, but they only appeared one at a 

 time. — B. Harold Smith ; Warlingham, Surrey. 



Colias hyale at Dartford. — I captured five male specimens on 

 September 2nd. No example of the female was seen. — A. J. 

 Exeter ; Southern Hospital, Dartford. 



Colias edusa and Colias hyale at Colchester. — On September 

 25th I captured a fine, quite fresh, male specimen of C. edusa in a 

 lucerne field here ; the following day, while my son was intent on 

 collecting larvaB of Cryptohlaptcs bistrigella, a ma.le C. hyale flew 

 past him. — W. H. Harwood ; Colchester. 



Colias hyale in Essex. — I took a specimen of C. hyale at 

 Dunmow, on October 2nd, flying over some lucerne. — H. M. Edel- 

 sten ; Forty Hill, Enfield. 



Colias hyale in Essex. — The only Colias I have seen here this 

 year is one male of C. hyale which my son caught with his straw 

 hat on August 30th. — Edward A. "Fitch ; Maldon. 



Macroglossa stellatarum and Polia xanthomista, (tc, IN Corn- 

 wall. — This species abounded in the Lizard district, in September. 

 I was much interested in watching one hawking up and down the 

 lee side of some tamarisk bushes at 6.30 p.m. in a strong south-west 

 gale, with rain and sea fog. At sugar, P. xanthomista and P. flavi- 

 cincta, E. nigra and A. australis. Some nice black varieties of the 

 latter turned up in fair abundance, also several examples of second 

 broods of A. exclamationis. — B. Harold Smith; Warlingham, Surrey, 

 October 10th, 1911. 



Macroglossa stellatarum in West Cornwall. — This moth was 

 very common about Hayle in September and in the earlier days of 

 October this year. There were other twos and threes together in 

 the conservatory in the house where I was staying. One was found 

 in a bedroom as though it was going to hibernate. — Harold Hodge. 



Sterrha sacraria in Cornwall. — On September 8th a female 

 S. sacraria was captured flying over rough grass, but though kept 

 for eggs refused to lay. Careful searching did not produce any more, 

 though a friend took a male in the same place a night or two before. 

 — B. Harold Smith. 



Heliothis arbiigera in the Isle of Wight. — When sugaring 

 with the Eev. J. E. Tarbat at Freshwater, on September 11th, we took 

 a fine H. armigera. — (Eev.) John W. Metcalfe ; Ottery St. Mary. 



Perizoma (Emmelesia) t^niata in North Devon. — A stay at 

 Lynton, North Devon, during the first fortnight in July, disappointing 

 from an entomological point of view, was redeemed by the capture 

 of about thirty specimens of P. tcsniata. They were taken just above 

 Watersmeet, and I have since seen that the locality is given in Mr.
