Deilephila galii at Leominster.—On the 7th of this month, I had the good 
fortune to take a splendid D. galii flying over a bed of Petunia. I have since seen 
another that was caught by Mr. Nield, of Clifton, a gentleman now staying in 
Leominster.—T. Hurcutnson, Grantsfield, 15th August, 1870. 
Deilephila galii in Herefordshire—I had the pleasure of capturing at St. 
Weonards, near Ross, Herefordshire, on the evening of Wednesday, August 3rd, 
about 8.30 p.m., a fine 9 example of D. galii. Perhaps this may be worth recording, 
as I am not aware that the insect has previously occurred in this county. I first 
observed it hovering over scarlet geranium.—F. Bonn, Adelaide Road, N.W., August 
8th, 1870. 
Deilephila galii at Stalybridge.—A specimen of D. galii was taken in a garden 
near the Stalybridge Naturalists’ Club Institute on the 3rd, and another in the 
same locality on the 5th, of the present month.—D. Jouutrrs, Stalybridge, 18th 
August, 1870. 
Deilephila galii in Suffolk.—A specimen of this insect was taken at Great Glen- 
ham on the 4th inst. by my young friend Mr. Capel Holden; I learn also from - 
Mr. Harwood that the Rev. Hugh Stowell has taken four specimens in his garden 
at Breadsall, near Derby: so that there seems a prospect of this insect being more 
plentiful this year than it has been of late.—E. N. BLoomrrexp, Guestling Rectory, 
August 20th, 1870. 
Scoparia Zellert and Sesia ichneumoniformis at Wolverton.—During the past 
three weeks I have captured upwards of 30 specimens of Scoparia Zelleri by beating 
old willow and hawthorn trees, but never getting more than three or four at each 
visit. On the Sth instant, I captured a fine pair of Sesia ichnewmoniformis by 
sweeping the flowers of rushes.—W. THompson, 183, Stantonbury, Wolverton, Bucks, 
19th July, 1870. 
Occurrence of Scoparia basistrigalis near York—On the 6th July, I took four 
specimens of a Scoparia, which at the time I passed over as very fine truncicolella. 
Upon taken them off the setting boards, I saw at once they were something different 
to any species I had ever seen before. I at once sent a pair up to Dr. Knaggs, who 
very kindly named them for me. I have since taken three others, unfortunately 
in worn condition.—W. Prest, 2, St. Saviourgate, York. 
Capture of Lenviodes pulveralis.—Your readers will be pleased to hear that 
this novelty has again turned up. I have in my possession seven specimens which 
were recently captured by Mr. Joseph Meek, at Folkestone.—T. Cooke, 513, New 
Oxford Street. 
Anticlea sinuata in South Devon.—On July 15th, I captured two female speci- 
mens of A. sinuata at Buckfastleigh; and on the following evening, accompanied 
by my friends Messrs. G. F. Mathew and J. W. Peers, I again tried the same 
locality, when one example was taken by Mr. Peers. Last night I caught a speci- 
men at Slapton Sands, near Dartmouth. It is more common here than I imagined. 
—S. H. Corzs, H.M.S. Britannia, Dartmouth, July 21st, 1870. 
Agrophila sulphuralis at Wandsworth.—-On the 26th July, we took a specimen ~ 
of A. sulphuralis at light, here; this is, we believe, a new locality for this local 
insect. On the 8th July, we took Chesias obliquaria here, also at light; it has
