LiTHosiA QUADRA AT New Cross. — It may be of interest to note that I 

 captured, on July 18th, a female specimen of Lithosia quadra. It was on 

 a garden wall near New Cross Station, and is in fine condition. Is it not 

 rather an unusual insect to be found in South London ? — Albert E. 

 Cook ; 31, Lower Road, Rotherhithe, July 18, 1891. 



Habits of Leucophasia sinapis. — In reply to Mr. H. S. Fremlin's 

 enquiry respecting the habits of Leucophasia sinapis (Entom. 172), I beg 

 to say that when catching butterflies in the neighbourhood of Wiesbaden, 

 on July 29th, 1879, T noticed some examples of L. sinapis flying over a 

 corn-field, and settling on the stems of the corn. On approaching one of 

 these the insect would fly off a short distance and again settle. I took three 

 specimens. The time would be about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Perhaps 

 the butterflies were settling for the night. — Alfred Sigh; Villa Amalinda, 

 Burlington Lane, Chiswick, Middlesex, July 18, 1891. 



Notes from Brockenhurst. — On the 30th May last I went to 

 Brockenhurst, and spent the following week in collecting Lepidoptera. The 

 weather was all that could be wished for, being warm, with bright sunshine 

 every day. The following are the species I took or saw : — Hybernated 

 specimens of Oonopteryx rhamni were fairly numerous during the first two 

 or three days, but in a very battered condition. The females were more 

 plentiful than the males. Pieris rupee and P. napi were common. Argynnis 

 euphrosyne was plentiful and in good condition, evidently not having been 

 out long. Nemeohius lucina was fairly common in certain localities, seven 

 specimens in one morning being the most I took. Pararge egeria was 

 abundant, but in rather worn condition. P. megcera was represented by 

 two specimens only. I took one hybernated specimen of Vanessa poly- 

 chloros on the 1st June, and also saw another on the 5th. Thecla ruhi was 

 not very common, four specimens being all I took. ISyriclithus malvm and 

 Nisoniades tages were represented by three or four specimens each. 

 Ccenonympha pamphilus and Lyccena icarus were common. I was much 

 surprised at not seeing a single specimen of Euchloe cardamines ; as the 

 season appeared to be very late, I fully expected to meet with it. Among 

 the Nocturni there was not much to be done, very few moths being out. 

 Venilia macularia and Panagra petraria were fairly abundant, and I 

 obtained a few Eurymene dolabraria. During the first two days Bupalus 

 piniaria was to be seen flying about the tops of fir-trees. On the heaths, 

 Ematurga atomaria was common, with two or three specimens of Bomhyx 

 ruhi. Euchelia jacobcBce, Spilosoma mendica, and Euciidia glyphica were 

 each represented by one specimen. Night-work was not very encouraging. 

 After what I had heard I did not attempt sugaring at all, while three or 

 four nights mothing in the woods at dusk, and later, with the aid of a 

 lantern, produced nil. The season seemed to be a very late one, several
