Autumnal collecting of Lepidopteea. — From the end of August, 

 1899, 1 found collecting unsatisfactory except for larvfe of Coleophora 

 fuscocuprella, of which Mr. Studd and I secured, between us, some 34 

 examples on October 19th, three of which occurred on birch, a most 

 unusual food-plant for the species. — B. A. Bower, F.E.S., Langley,

Collecting Lepidopteea at Malvern in 1899. — Last August was 

 spent with my family at Malvern. I was disappointed as far as 

 entomology was concerned. On July 30th we saw Enodia hyperanthus, 

 Polyominatus astrarche, besides numbers of commoner things. On 

 July 31st I took a fresh Depressaria arenella. August 1st, in a wood on 

 a hill side Ave found several Leucophasia sijiajns, mostly a little worn, 

 flying and settling on herbage. This must have been about 6.20 p.m. 

 On August 8th my hopes of meeting with Polygonia c-album were 

 fulfilled, but the specimen was too worn to take. As it was the first 

 British example I had seen at large I watched it for some twenty 

 minutes. No others were seen. The next day I noticed a strange 

 butterfly flying straight towards me down a lane near the British 

 Camp. When captured it proved to be Thecla w-album. There were 

 several fine elms in the lane. The same day I took a few of the 

 common but beautiful little Argyresthia goedartella by beating birches. 

 On August 10th, at Ledbury, a fine Catocala nupta (?) was resting high 

 up on a beam of the curious old market hall. Though we tried with 

 the aid of small stones to persuade it to show its lower wings it steadily
