 light on the 5th inst., at Sutton, Surrey. — A. J. Eldred ; London 

 Hospital, E., July 7th, 1890. 



On the 8th of this month I caught a very fine specimen of Plusia 

 moneta, in a sitting-room opening into the garden, from which it was 

 attracted by the light. I caught a specimen last August in this same 

 garden, which I have already reported. — J. B. Morris ; Maiden House, 

 Maiden Road, Wallington, Surrey, July 10th, 1896. 



Towards the end of May some friends found in their garden five bright 

 yellow cocoons, attached to the under side of leaves of Delphinium, three 

 of which were kindly given to me. These duly produced imagines of 

 P. moneta. An empty cocoon was afterwards found in another garden. 

 Altogether, with the above, no less than nine specimens of this species have 

 now been found at Weybridge. — (Rev.) J. E. Tarbat The Common, Wey-
