friend Bertie Barton took a female at Verbena-flowers on the 

 other side of the house ; and we took two more D. Galii at 

 the Verbenas on the evening of August 6th. — (Rev.) Hugh A. 

 Stowell ; Breadsall Rectory, near Derby, August 2, 1870. 



Deilephlla Galii in Herefordshire. — I took a female of 

 this species, hovering over the flowers of the scarlet gera- 

 niums, at St. Weonard's, Herefordshire, on the 3rd of 

 August. 1 do not know that it has ever before been taken in 

 this county. — Frederick Boud. 



Deilephila Galii near Nottingham. — It may be interesting 

 to some of your readers to know that I was fortunate enough 

 to obtain a specimen of Deilephila Galii at Bramscote, near 

 Nottingham, on the 5th of August. It was found dead in a 

 geranium-bed by a boy who was weeding. — C. F. Wat kins ; 

 Pusey Rectory, Farringdon. — From the 'Field.'' 



Deilephila Galii at IVolsingham. — I took a fine male 

 specimen of Deilephila Galii in our garden on the 1st of 

 August, at eight o'clock in the evening. I had seen the 

 same insect or others on two previous evenings, one of which 

 I might have captured had not my keen admiration of its 

 beautiful movements, as it went from flower to flower, with- 

 held my hand, till, '' presto," it went over the wall. About 

 the same time on the evening of the 9th I took a female of 

 the same insect, but very much worn, it being of no use as a 

 specimen. I kept it alive, hoping to get eggs, but have not 

 succeeded. On the 12th I captured a fine female specimen at 

 half-past ten o'clock; and on the 13th I took another very 

 fine female, without a rub on it, at half-past seven. The 

 flowers they most frequented were Phlox, Geranium, Dianthus, 

 asters and Lilium, but a bed of Petunias was the greatest 

 attraction. — A. Mitchell ; Wolsinghatn, Durham, August 15. 



DeilepJiila Galii at Warrington. — On the 7th of this 

 month I had the pleasure of setting out a very fine female 

 D. Galii, taken at the honeysuckle-flowers on the evening of 

 the same day, by my niece, Miss E. Greening, in the garden 

 adjoining mine. It is quite fresh out from the pupa, and in 

 fine condition. — N. Greening ; Bewsy Road, Warrington, 

 August 14, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii at Selkirk and in Buckinghamshire. — 

 I was at Bowhill, near Selkirk, a week ago, and saw three 

 moths captured which answer exactly to the description of
