26 THE entomologist's record, 



Caradrina aiiihii/Ka, followed by another on the 17th. I believe this is 

 a new locality for the species, and is it not a very late date for its cap- 

 ture ? Larvae were very scarce, especially the usually common ones, but I 

 took, among others, six of those of Stauropusfai/i, four Jmhaeara alni, 

 six Muma or ion. I also captured, on August 1st, several (Encctra 

 pilleriana. I see that Stainton says " scarce," and "near Ventnor." 

 Is this a new locality for it '? At tke same time, I took Crambua 

 latistriits and (,'. uarriwitujuilus.- — W. J. Cross, Ely. Novciiibcr lltJt, 1898.
