Hybernia aurantiaria in Isle of Skye. — I took two fine speci- 

 mens of H. aurantiaria at a lighted window here last month, and also 

 a third, which I take to be a variety with ill-defined lines and consider- 

 able dark purplish speckling or clouding forming a band behind the 

 second line. — (Rev.) Arthur S. Hoole ; Kyle House, Kyleakin, Isle 

 of Skye, December 3rd, 1912. 



CUCULLIA CHAMOMILL^G EMERGING IN NOVEMBER. — I took SOme 



larvae of C. chamomillce in June, 1912, which pupated in July, 

 and a perfect specimen emerged on Nov. 9th. The larvae and the 

 box containing the pupae, although being kept in an outside frame 

 under glass, have not had any artificial forcing, and as the box 

 containing the pupae was specially prepared with soil, &c, last 

 season, there is no possible room for any doubt about the record. I 

 cannot hear of any similar record previously, and perhaps it may 

 prove of some interest to the readers of your Journal. — W. A. Tyer- 

 man ; Derby Villa, x\insdale, Southport, November 19th, 1912. 



Nemeobius lucina emerging in December. — When looking in 

 my pupa-cage yesterday (December 1st) I was very surprised to find 

 that a fine dark specimen of Nemeobius lucina had emerged. Between 

 forty and fifty pupae have been kept practically out of doors ; and 

 there were two or three very cold frosty nights. This is surely a 

 very unusual occurrence, but why only one out of so many ? — R. G. 

 Benton ; Cotswold, 52, Queen's Avenue, Muswell Hill, N. 



Ennomos autumnaria at Littlehampton. — On August 25th I 

 picked up on the pavement in Littlehampton a larva, which pupated 

 a day or two later, and from which, on September 22nd, emerged a 

 beautiful female Ennomos autumnaria. — W. Gifford Nash ; Clavering 

 House, Bedford. 



Tortrix pronubana at Ealing. — On December 23rd last, Mr. 

 H. Campion was good enough to give me a Tortrix his sister, Mrs. 

 G. J. Ashby, had found resting on the outside of a window-pane, at 

 58, Ranelagh Road, Ealing, the previous Saturday. The specimen 

 proved to be a fine female of Tortrix pronubana. It was alive in the 

 morning of December 24th, but died sometime later that day. — >
