AUTUMNAL COLLECTING oF LeprpoprErRa.—F rom the end of August, 
1899, I found collecting unsatisfactory except for larvee of Coleophora 
fuscocuprella, of which Mr. Studd and I secured, between us, some 34 
examples on October 19th, three of which occurred on birch, a most 
unusual food-plant for the species.—B. A. Bowsrr, F.E.S., Langley, 
Eltham Road, Lee, S.E. 
Cotuectinc Lepmoprera at Matvern 1n 1899.—Last August was 
spent with my family at Malvern. I was disappointed as far as 
entomology was concerned. On July 30th we saw Hnodia hyperanthus, 
Polyommatus astrarche, besides numbers of commoner things. On 
July 31st I took a fresh Depressaria arenella. August 1st, in a wood on 
a hill side we found several Leucophasia sinapis, mostly a little worn, 
flying and settling on herbage. This must have been about 6.20 p.m. 
On August 8th my hopes of meeting with Polygonia c-album were 
fulfilled, but the specimen was too worn to take. As it was the first 
British example I had seen at large I watched it for some twenty 
minutes. No others were seen. The next day I noticed a strange 
butterfly flying straight towards me down a lane near the British 
Camp. When captured it proved to be Thecla w-album. There were 
several fine elms in the lane. The same day I took a few of the 
common but beautiful little Argyresthia goedartella by beating birches. 
On August 10th, at Ledbury, a fine Catocala nupta (?) was resting high 
up on a beam of the curious old market hall. Though we tried with 
the aid of small stones to persuade it to show its lower wings it steadily
