NOTES ON COLLEOTING. 53 
E. chrysorrhoea still existed, but I could find no sign of cocoons, 
imagines, or winter larval nests. 
On the 80th, at Abbott’s Wood, Tiger Beetle (Cicindela campestris) 
larvee were found at the mouths of their burrows in bright sunshine, 
and were duly photographed. A ? LHpinephele tithonus was observed 
carrying the g when paired, and a ? P. monacha emerged from a 
pupa on a willow trunk between 2.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. (Greenwich 
time), while specimens of the Stinkhorn fungus (Phallus impudicus) 
were traced by their foetid odour. 
On August 1st. at Abbott’s Wood, three @ Psilura monacha emerged 
from pup on oak trunks, between 2.30 and 4.30 p.m. (G.T.). One 
specimen of Cleora viminalis was found freshly emerged on a willow 
trunk, and three FP’. similis (auriflua) 3s on oak trunks, also a fully fed 
larvee of O. antiqua, badly ichneumoned, and a specimen of Calymmnia 
trapezina drying its wings at 7-20 p.m. (G.T.). I saw only one P. 
tcarus and one Celastrina argiolus, but Dryas paphia was now fairly 
common. 
On August 4th Pteris brassicae and P. rapae were swarming in 
gardens and cabbage fields, near Hastbourne and at Abbott’s Wood. 
Bithys quercis were flying round oak and ash trees in some numbers, 
and sunning on the leaves out of reach. P. brassicae, P. rapae, P. 
napi, EH. jurtina and FE. tithonus were now common in the clearings in 
the wood, and a worn specimen of the second brood of Tephrosia bis- 
tortata was found at rest on a tree trunk, the only moth found at rest. 
A full fed larva of Notodonta dromedarius was taken wandering about 
the grass preparatory to going to earth to pupate. 
On August 11th the first Pachyyastria trifolii (Romney Marsh), a 3, 
emerged at 1.30 p.m. (G.T.), a 9 emerged between 2.0 and 5.0 p.m. 
(G.T.), and.a second g emerged at 7.15 p.m. (G.T.). I went to Beachy 
Head and took one larva of Theretra porcellus, about 14" long, on 
yellow bedstraw. Polyommatus icarus was now out in profusion, and 
Agriades coridon was also flying in some numbers; a few freshly 
emerged Zggaena filipendulae were resting-on greater knapweed heads. 
On August 13th the last H. chrysorrhoea, a 3, emerged, and a 
Cleora lichenaria larva, taken a month before, and which had turned 
out an ichneumon larva, still lingered on, whilea ? Arctia caja, which 
emerged on July 15th, was still very muchalive. P. trifolii continued 
to emerge, and my last specimen, a 2, came out on August 28th. At 
Abbott’s Wood Mr. K. P. Sharp found a specimen of Cerura furcula 
emerged and drying its wings at 3.30 p.m. (G.T.), on a willow trunk, 
where he had previously found the cocoon. 
On August 15th an attempt to assemble P. trifolit 3s, at Hast- 
bourne proved a failure, although we had been successful in other years. 
It appeared to be excellent weather, with asoftS.W. wind. A full fed 
larva and a pupa of Dianthoecia carpophaga were taken, also several 
empty cocoons of an ichneumon fly (Ophion luteus) which preys on the 
larvee of the first brood. 
On August 17th I counted 35 specimens of Microgaster connexus, 
which had emerged from an H. similis (auwriflua) cocoon. A visit to 
Beachy Head produced another larva of T. porcellus from yellow bed- 
straw, and a number of larve of Hecatera serena feeding on the flowers 
and buds of the hawkweed, in brilliant sunshine. 
On August 19th I returned home. During my stay at Eastbourne
