atropos, which is recorded from Norfolk, Berkshire, Cornwall 

 ("Entom.," xliv., p. 405), Suffolk ("id.," p. 325), and Essex ("Ent. 

 Rec," xxiii., p. 304), Phrijxus licornica was taken in Cornwall by 

 Mr. B. H. Smith ("Entom.," xliv., p. 411), in E. Devon by Mr. 

 J. W. Metcalf ("id.," p. 411), in Surrey by Mr. E. C. Joy ("id., 

 p. 365), and in the New Forest by Mr. G. T. Lyle (" id.," p. 365). 



Papilio niachaon has occurred in several localities where it is not 

 known to be a resident. Its appearance in these places is probably 

 to be accounted for by a small migration of the species, either 

 from the Continent or from its Cambridgeshire or Norfolk home. 

 Mr. W. H. Harwood ("Entom.," xliv., p. 320) records the finding of 

 two fine larvas feeding on carrot in a garden near Colchester. Single 

 examples of the imagines are noted from Bishop's Stortford by Mr. 

 C. Mellows (id., p. 365), who remarks that the locality is more than 

 30 miles from Wicken. Mr. H. M. Edelsten records the species 

 from Enfield (id., p. 365), and at Kelvedon, another Essex locality, 

 Mr. P. C. Eeid records seeing two imagines (id., p. 365). Since 

 writing the above I have read in the January number of this j^ear's 

 "Entomologist" of an attempt to introduce the species in 1909 at 

 Easton, near Dunmow, Essex, and as Professor R. Meldola remarks, 

 all these stray specimens in 1911 may be the result of the attempt 

 to colonize the species there. While upholding any attempt to 

 colonize desirable insects, I think that at the same time it is most 

 necessary to publish a statement of the introduction in some 

 recognised journal of Entomology, so that we might be all 

 forewarned of this and that unusual occurrence in any given 

 locality. 



Pyrameis cardui, which is such a migrant of migrants, was this 

 year hardly seen in this country. I have been only able to find two 

 published records. Mr. B. W. Adkin notes it at Scilly, in August 

 (" Entom.," xliv., p. 324), and Mr. Joseph Anderson on September 

 11th, at Chichester ("Entom.," xliv., p. 364). 



Euvanessa antiopa has occurred in several localities, and is 

 recorded from Brading, Isle of Wight, on August 17th ; Bradwell- 

 on-Sea, Essex, on August 25th ; and Berkhampstead, Herts., at the 

 end of August. 



Issoria lathonia has occurred at St. Margaret's Bay, Kent, and is 

 recorded by Mr. I. C. Gunton on August 13th ("Entom.," xliv., 

 p. 321). 



Many interesting migrants among the moths have been noted or 

 captured. Sterrha sacraria has been secured in two such widely 

 separated localities as Aberdeen and the Lizard. The former
