Sphinx convolvuli, L. This fine species of the family Sphingidae 

 is reported from numerous locaHties : Regent's Park, hovering over 

 the bloom of Nicotiana affinis \ from Reading, resting on a paling ; 

 from Christchurch, Hants, by one of our members, Mr. Adye j 

 Chipping Norton, again at the bloom of Nicotiana ; from Penarth, at 

 the bloom of a balsam ; while at Porthkerry, two were taken at the 

 fascinating tobacco. At Manchester, one was taken from the wall 

 of a greenhouse ; several were observed busy at tobacco. From 

 Ramsgate we again hear of its capture at tobacco ; while Aberdeen- 

 shire and Devon add their quota. A gravestone at Leicester was 

 the resting-place of one ; the bloom of the petunia attracted two 

 in the Isle of Wight ; while from other places, too numerous to 

 specify on this occasion, it is also announced {Entom., xxii. pp. 258, 

 280 and xxiii. 18; Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 456). 



Deilephila galii, Schiff. Two specimens of this lovely moth 

 are reported to have been captured in the neighbourhood of Chester ; 

 while a third, a fine male, was taken at rest in a garden at Sowerby 

 Bridge, Yorkshire {Entom., xxii. pp. 211, 234). 



Deilephila euphorbicz, L. The Rev. J. Seymour St. John, 

 writing from Stamford Hill, N., records the capture of thirteen nearly 

 full-fed larvae of this very rare insect, which were taken by a friend, 

 feeding on the Sea Spurge {Euphorbia paralias, L.), but he gives no 

 locality. They have since pupated, and ten apparently healthy 

 pupae were in the gentleman's possession at the time of writing his 

 note, November 22nd {Entom., xxiii. p. 18). 



Chxrocanipa celerio, L. On the ist of October, a lad took a 

 fine specimen of this insect at rest on the framework of a green- 

 house, at Hartlepool {Entom., xxii. 281). 



Caradrina ambigua, Fab. Mr. Tutt records the capture of a 

 worn specimen of this rarity, by himself, at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, 

 and his observation of two other fine specimens in the collection of 

 Mr. A. J. Hodges, which were taken in the same locality in the year 

 1888 {Entom., xxii. p. 235). 



Stigm.onota ravulana, H-S. It might be worth while to call 

 attention to the capture of this interesting Tortrix in June, 1888, 

 at Renfrewshire, although not recorded until February of last year 

 {Entom., xxii. p. 18). 



Coleoptera. 



Anaspis garneysi, Fowler. This good species has only just 

 been added to the British list, although it was captured in some 

 numbers by the late Dr. Power at Ditton, Horsell, Cowley, and
