have one. Others were taken, but unfortunately got damaged in 

 traveUing. Am I right in believing this to be a new record for the 

 county ?— Arthue Buss ; 43, Gleneldon Eoad, Streatham, S. W. 



AcRONyCTA MENYANTHIDIS EMERGING IN NOVEMBER. — On looking 



in my pupa-cage on November 3rd, I was surprised to find that a 

 female specimen of Acronycta menyanthidis had emerged from pupae 

 sent me from " Barnard Castle," all collected this year. They were 

 kept in a glass-top bottle in a room with no fire, temperature about 

 55° to 60°. I thought it would be interesting to record this, because 

 I can find no record of so late an emergence. — H. L. Dolton ;

Earias chlorana in Gloucestershire. — In August, 1912, the Eev. 

 G. M. Smith found about a dozen larvas of this species feeding on the 

 osiers growing on the Severn bank near Gloucester. One or two 

 imagos emerged in the following September, but the rest hibernated 

 as pupte and came out at intervals during May, June, and July of 

 this present year. It is curious that this species has not apparently 

 been observed in this county hitherto. — C. Granville Clutterbuck, 

 F.B.S. ; 23, Heathville Eoad, Gloucester, November 16th, 1913. 



Hypotion (Ch^rocampa) celerio in Hants. — A specimen of 

 C. celerio was caught by a cat in a house in this parish last 

 September. The locahty is less than a mile from the sea, between 

 Lymington and Christchurch. — (Eev.) J. E. Kelsall ; Milton 

 Eectory, New Milton, November 22nd, 1913. 



Daphnis (Ch^rocampa) nerii. — One of these very rare visitors 

 occurred here this season, and was captured on September 16th. 

 The moth was seen on the wing at about 4.15 p.m. by two small 

 village boys, who eventually succeeded in their endeavours, with the 

 aid of their caps, &c. The following day it was brought to my house 

 (partly for identification), being a pitiable sight but still alive ; it is, 

 nevertheless, sufficient to serve as a record. My friend Mr. Brown 

 of Ainsdale kindly lent me the moth for exhibition at the November 

 meeting of the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society. — 

 W. A. Tyerman ; Derby Villa, Ainsdale, Southport, November 19th, 

 1913. 



Catocala praxini in Lancs. — A specimen of Catocala fraxini 

 (Clifton Nonpareil) was caught at Grange-over- Sands, Lancs, 

 September 7th, 1913, in the grounds of Yewbarrow Hall, the 

 residence of Evan A. Leigh, Esq. — J. Davis Ward ; Limehurst, 

 Grange-over-Sands. 



CoLiAs edusa Eeared in Kent. — On May 23rd, 1913, my son 

 brought to me a female Golias edusa he had caught with his cap in 

 a waste field not fifty yards away from our house. I succeeded in 

 keeping it alive for three weeks. During that time it kindly obliged 

 with one hundred and fifty ova; these I placed singly in airtight tins 

 with a glass top, my intention being to try for a second brood, but 

 the larvaB grew so slowly that I had to abandon the idea. The first 

 imago emerged on August 15th and the last on September 9th. I
