III. — Eyemouth, By William Shaw. 



Acheeontia Ateopos. A fine specimen of this moth came to the 

 light of a shop window, Eyemouth. It made a good deal of 

 squeaking, when it was taken out of a bottle. 



Sphinx Convolvuli. I got a very fine specimen of this moth at 

 rest on one of the raised letters of a shop sign ; another was 

 got near the same place, much worn ; and a fisherman got one 

 at rest on a line in Eyemouth ; and Mr W. Sandison, High-

 down a birch tree, which turned out this moth. Banks of the 

 Ale.

 get this moth here, at sugar.
