Q44 THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S RECORD. 
Walking across Blackheath on Monday afternoon, the 13th inst., 
a fine female Colias edusa crossed my path—W. Wesr, 8, Morden 
Hill, Lewisham Road. August 15th, 1900. 
SuGARING IN THE Isne or Man.—I have sugared the trees in this 
garden almost nightly for the past three weeks. Insects have been 
very scarce, and the following are the only species which turned up at 
the sweets. Zviaena pst (two), Leucania comma, L. pallens, L. impura, 
Aaylia putris (three), Xylophasia monoglypha (light, dark and inter- 
mediate forms, some almost black), Mamestira brassicae, Apamea gemina, 
Miana strigilis, Agrotis exclamation, Noctua plecta, N. jestiva, Triphaena 
orbona, T. pronuba, Naenia typica (one), Mania maura, Eupleaia lucipara 
and Phlogophora meticulosa. Throughout June and the first fortnight 
of July flowers proved very attractive to certain species, amongst those 
which occurred in numbers at red valerian were Choerocampa porcellus, 
Habrostola triplasia, H. wrticae, Plusia gamma, P. iota, P. pulchrina, 
P. festucae, P. chrysitis, and Cucullia umbratica—H. SHoRTRIDGE 
Cuarke, F.E.8., Sulby Parsonage, Isle of Man. July 80th, 1900. 
Nores rrom HatnsHam anp Apssott’s Woop.—A week spent at 
Hailsham (June 23rd-July 1st) produced good results among the 
lepidoptera. Among the butterflies one or two worn specimens of 
Gonepteryx rhamni were still on the wing, and a few Pieris napi and 
one male Huchloé cardamines were noticed. Arygynnis aglaia was just 
coming out towards the end of our stay, and the two specimens taken 
were in beautiful condition. One specimen of Brenthis euphrosyne and 
two B. selene were netted, all more or less worn. JMelitaea athalia 
was not uncommon in two localities in the neighbourhood of 
Melampyrum pratense, and most of the specimens taken were in good 
condition. An occasional Aglais urticae was met with and a few 
Pyrameis atalanta were also noticed. Epinephele janira and Coenon- 
ympha pamphilus vied with each other for the proud distinction of 
being the commonest butterfly. Polyommatus icarus and P. astrarche 
were both noticed in very bad condition, and as may be imagined, a 
single example of Callophrys rubi was no better. Pamphila sylvanus, 
which was common and in good condition, completes the lst of 
Rhopalocera noticed. Day work among the moths was fairly good. 
A single specimen of Jacroglossa fuciformis was taken at the flowers of 
the cow-wheat. Three females of Cochlidion limacodes were beaten from 
oak, beech and hornbeam, and a single freshly emerged Calligenia 
miniata from hazel. A few Lithosia sororcula (awreola) were beaten 
from oak, but they were a bit “off colour ’—they did not fall or 
flutter down like many of the “‘ footmen,”’ but flew straight out. A 
female Arctia villica was found on the top of a thorn hedge and a fine 
male of the same species was disturbed from bracken. The Geometrids 
noticed were Itwnia crataegata, Venilia maculata (faded), Metrocampa 
margaritaria (very abundant), Hurymene dolabraria (a few), Boarmia 
repandata, B. roboraria (a much worn male), Tephrosia eatersaria (a few, 
mostly worn), Jodis lactearia (very common), Phorodesma bajularia (one, 
fine), Hemithea thymiaria (scarcely out), Hphyra porata and #. punc- 
taria (both common, but worn), Asthena luteata (a few), A. candidata, 
Hupisteria heparata (among alders, very local), Acidalia trigeminata 
(three), A. aversata (common), Cabera pusaria (very abundant), C. 
exanthemaria, Lomaspilis marginata, Larentia pectinitaria (very bad), 
Melanthia ocellata, Melanippe wnangulata (one, very fine), JZ. subtristata,
