NOTES ON COI,I,KCTIX(;. 305 



Lepidoptera at Chichester.— The first butterfly which I saw this 

 season was /'/Vt/.s rapoi' on April 20th, and on the 30th of that month 

 f'l/aniris aniiolii!< was flying in the garden, and continued during May. 

 In the middle of May several Drrjiana ciiltvaria {mufiiinila) were taken 

 in a plantation near Goodwood. At the end of the month and during 

 June L'ltaridi'a umbra {martiinata). h'.ininclcsia ajjinitata, Callinniriiha 

 (lominida, /Uthcna hitcata, Mdauijijic prorcllata, and Spilixlcs reytiralis 

 made their appearance. In July Antirlca nibiilata, (icoincfra rernaria, 

 (1 . papilionaria, Litlitma (/n'si'ola, and Ci/aniris anjinhtu were taken. Cap- 

 tives at sugar comprised in June Miana strifiiUs, Ai/rotis rnrticca, Ilailrna 

 i{i>fsiiiiilis (.s»<7.sf/), Xi/l(iplia^i<i hfpatica, and Iliisina tou-hrnna. During 

 July a fine lot of ('ali/iiniia a fiinis: and Hccatcra srrena, Tnjpliaena intn-- 

 jccta, T. fniibria, and in August liriinphila nntralis {(ilamUfcm). Macro- 

 ijloam fitdlatantni was undoubtedly the moth of the season, many 

 visiting the gardens daily, whilst the butterfly par r.n-elh-nce was 

 Pijranin's atalanta. P. cardni was quite common in July, and remark- 

 ably rosy. All my captures of this butterfly were beaten from a hedge 

 in the evening. — Joseph Anderson, Aire Villa, Chichester. 



AvENTiA FLExuLA AT Chichester. — I had the pleasure of taking a 

 fine specimen of Avcniia fie.nda, which I beat out of a hedge on July 

 12th and another from the same place on the iHth of that month. — 



I HIT). 



Ennomos autujinaria (alniaria) at Chichester. — I took two 

 specimens here of this insect, one at light on September 7th, and 

 another — a worn female — which flew into the house on October Hrd.

Acherontia atropos and Macrogi.ossa stellatarum at Dover. — • 

 On visiting a friend at Dover on October 8th I was agreeably surprised 

 to find a $ A. atropox waiting for me. It had been taken the previous 

 Friday evening outside the garden door and was in very fair condition. 

 I might also record that I took a good number of M. stcUatanim at 

 Dover on September 9th, where it appeared to be as abundant as 

 elsewhere. — -V. E. Shaw, 8, Moss Hall Grove, North Finchley, N. 

 October 12tli, 1899. 



Lrpidoptera at Burnley. — In continuation of my notes {a)iti', 

 p. 274) I have to state that on September 11th, I obtained three 

 < '{lorabia jilii/raiiniiaria from the moors, two resting on rocks, and one, 

 a female, on heather (the latter laid a few eggs), but it appears to have 

 been scarce this year. On October 8th my attention was called to a 

 " buzzard," which proved on examination to be a fine Sjiltiu.r conrol- 

 riili in splendid condition. It was sitting on a stone wall, just 

 Avithin the window coping. — W. G. Clutten, 10, Hallwell Street, 

 I'.urnley. October 18t/,, 1899. 



Paedisca solandriana. — Erratum. — In my note {aiil< , pp. 275-7) 

 there is an error for which the printer is, I believe, wholly responsible. 

 Six lines from the bottom of p. 276, the following appears : 



'• Dusking, in the same district, produced I'eronea arhdUciidiKi, KsjxrMiiKi, uiul 

 variei/diui and I'nedisca solatidriana h\,i-\io were beaten very freely Iroin birches; 

 isolated stunted bushes in damp parts of the moors being the most productive." 

 What I have very little doubt I wrote was : 



"Dusking, in the same district, produceed Peronea schallcridiui, a ipcrsd no nnd 

 rartefidnd, and I'ocdiscd solnndriditd. Ijarvio were beaten very freely from birches; 

 isolated, stunted bushes in damp parts of the moors being the most productive." 



Then follows a list of the larva\ You will see that, as the note
