was not Orbona. Subsequa then thought I, it must be, soit proved. Now—may it not 
be that after all subsequa is not so very rare, but is passed over as Orbona ? 
Mr. Crump, of Winchcombe, also took one—badly rubbed—last season. If I live 
till next summer, I will take every yellow underwing I come across.—E. HALLErr

Notes on the genus Eupithecia.—I was agreeably surprised, whilst searching the 
seeds of Angelica sylvestris in this neighbourhood last September for larva of E. tri- 
signata and albipunctata, to find, feeding with them, several larvee of pimpinellata 
in two varieties. I could not find their ordinary food, Pimpinella saxifraga, there 
at all: they fed up on the former unsavoury plant, and are now in pupa. I also 
found on the Angelica seeds, not uncommonly, larvee of centawreata, and of that 
polyphagous creature, castigata. There also occurred, on the same seeds, several 
very beautiful larvee, evidently of this genus, which I cannot make out; they may 
be only centawreata, but I hope for something better. 
While writing on this interesting genus, I may say that Mr. Prest, of this city, 
and I, have taken the larvae of twenty-two species, viz.:— venosata, pulchel- 
lata, centaureata, subfulvata, lariciata, castigata, trisignata, virgaureata, albipunctata, 
valerianata,pimpinellata, frawinata, indigata,nanata, subnotata, vulgata, absynthiata, 
minutata, assimilata, tenuiata, abbreviata, rectangulata, and the allied Collix 
sparsata, of which I have reared a second brood.—T,. J. Carrineton, 31, Holgate
