these places, viz. the Weesen Marshes, in Switzerland, and at 

 St. Maurice sur Moselle, in France, I took pamphilus flying on the 

 very same ground as tiphon. Indeed, at Weesen I sometimes made 

 an unnecessary capture of pamphilus female in mistake for tiphon, 

 as the former species is often exceptionally large in this locality. 

 Very probably, had I had opportunity of hunting tiphon in as 

 many and varied haunts as Mr. Arkle, it would have struck me also 

 with surprise to see the two butterflies on the same ground. What 

 seems to be remarkable is that in these two places, so wide apart, 

 and the only localities where I have come across tiplion, I found its 

 congener too. May a possible explanation be that, though pamphilus 

 can be comfortable in the lowest or driest of tiphon' s habitats, when 

 the latter occurs at higher elevations, or in very wet places, the 

 smaller ccenonymph is absent ? — (Kev.) Frank E. Lowe ; Guernsey,

Early Emergences of Plusia gamma and Demas coryli. — It 

 may be of interest to record the emergence of Plusia gamma on 

 January 17th. The pupa was spun up in an outdoor cage fully 

 exposed on an outdoor wall facing east. The larva was taken in 

 October last under some plants of Chenopodium ; and although there 

 are several other pupas of P. gamma in the same cage, this is the 

 only one which has emerged. I have also had a male specimen of 

 Demas coryli emerge, but the cage this pupa was kept in was 

 indoors, so perhaps this emergence is not so remarkable as that of 

 P. gamma. — B. L. Williams ; 77, Durham Eoad, East Finchley, N.,

Eucosmia undulata at Carlisle. — I captured a single specimen 

 of this moth at Orton, near here, on June 22nd last. It was flying 

 about 6 p.m. among some young firs. I know of no previous record 

 from this district. Dawson does not mention it in his list, while 

 Mawson gives it as " rare ' ' in his West Cumberland list. — Jas. Murray ;

Hybernia marginaria fuscata at Cambridge. — On Friday last, 

 March 7th, 1913, I captured a perfect male specimen of Hybernia 

 marginaria var. fuscata on a street lamp near the river at Cambridge. 

 Is not this occurrence rather unusual for this part of England? —

Leucophasia sinapis in Sussex. — I was stopping at a little 

 village called Northchapel, Sussex, halfway between Haslemere and 

 Petworth, on May 11th last, and with my friend, Mr. J. Dunnett, went 

 out before breakfast, taking the nets with us, as it was a wonderfully 

 fine morning ; and in a glade between the oak woods, between 8.30 

 and 9.30, we caught six males and three females of L. sinapis, all in 

 perfect condition, evidently having come out of chrysalis the same 

 morning.— J. H. Vickers ; Holywood, Bulstrode Boad, Heston,

Entomological Club. — A meeting was held on March 18th, 

 1913, at 58, Kensington Mansions, S. W., Mr. Horace Donisthorpe in 

 the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Adkin, Hall,
