 June ; and also near Glasgow. 



,, viRESCEisrs, Hartig. I bred a number from pupse dug 

 from decayed wood of sallows, and from old birch stumps near 

 the sallows where the caterpillars had fed ; Red Clu9s Cleugh 

 near Penmanshiel. 

 Phyllotoma vagasts, Fall. = melanopyga, Klug. One among 

 birch trees, Penmanshiel. Mr. Cameron found it in Eannoch. 

 Athalia EoSiE, L. I noted this species this year both to be 

 early in its advent and also late in disappearing. The first 

 were observed on the sea-banks, resting on walls, April 21st ; 

 the latest, October 15th. The adjoining fields were much in- 

 fested with wild mustard, which may have formed the induce- 

 ment to its presence there. Mr. Cameron has given its history, 

 " Scottish Naturalist," ii., p. 197. 

 ,, spinarttm, Fab. I am not acquainted either with the 

 larva or imago of this species, but it has occurred, in former 

 years, on this place. In 1859 some acres of turnips at Old- 

 cambus were destroyed by the " black caterpillar," and in July 

 of that year it was becoming very hurtful on the Tower farm, 

 where gas-lime was applied to effect a cure. At Hutton Hall 

 Barns, also, several acres were lost by its ravages. Quick- 

 lime was employed as a deterrent.
