formed of greyish freckles 3 the sub-dorsal rather higher up than usual, formed also | 
of greyish freckles, darkest near the head, and growing paler towards the 13th, 
and bearing both the dorsal tubercular dots ; below on the side comes a fine greyish 
line, and just below that again a broader and darker stripe with still darker freckles = 
the spiracular region and belly are pale buff; the spiracles and all the usual dots 
are black; through the belly run a central, and three pairs of side lines, all com- 
posed of greyish freckles 3; the head grey, freckled with a darker tint of the same. 
The whole appearance of the full grown larva much resembles that of an | 
Eubolia. P 
The pupa was placed just under the surface of the fine soil, with no cocoon, 
but just a few threads; about one-third of an inch in length, cylindrical, and rather 
blunt at the ends; polished, at first of a delicate, almost golden, brown, afterwards © 
uiove reddish-brown. 
As Mr. Fetherstonhaugh has been fortunate enough to secure eggs again this | 
autumn, and has kindly sent me some more, I hope to be able to verify all these 
observations, and probably add to them, next season.—J. HEuuins, Exeter, 14th 
November, 1871. a 
Note on Phibalapteryx lignata —Having had a further supply of the eggs of 
the second brood of moths, I think T have satisfied myself that the larvae from , 
them do not feed up before hybernation, at least when kept outdoors, exposed to 
the weather.—Ip. 
Note on the identity of Argynnis Adippe and A. Niobe.—I have mentioned in _ 
several places that, when in Switzerland, I frequently saw the males of J. Adippe 
and A. Niobe in pursuit of each other’s partners, but I never was fortunate enough 
tu take them in coitt; this summer Mr. Druce was more lucky than I, for he 
caught a pair of Argynnis in this condition, and on examining them found that they 
were referable to these two so-called species.—A. G. Butter, British Museum, 3rd 
Nov., 1871. 
Occurrence of Deilephila euphorbie near Southampton.—On the 24th August I

hampton.—Watrtrr P. Weston, 1, Duncan Terrace, Islington, October, 1871. 
Pieris Daplidice at Dover.—It may interest the readers of the « Entomologist’s 
Monthly Magazine” to know that when at Dover, at the cloae of August, I had the 
pleasure of seeing a specimen of Pieris Daplidice in possession of a lad named 
Lewis Henry Neall, son of J. S. Neall, Hsq., of Croydon, who informed me that he 
captured it on August 25th, at St. Margaret’s, as it was resting ona thistle blossom. 
It was a male and in good condition.— Wm. Farrun Wuirz, Stonehouse Vicarage, 
Gloucestershire, October 20th, 1871. 
Capture of Heliothis arm igera and other Lepidoptera at Sidmouth.—The following 
list of Lepidoptera captured during the latter half of August and the first half of

Colias Edusa (common), Lithosia complanula, Acidalia promutata, Larentia olivata,
