Deilephila Galii. I saw one here yesterday hovering over some 

 flowers in the kitchen garden, but 1 had no means of securing 

 it. — John Mathisoii; Addington, JVinslow, Bucks, August 

 18, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii at Stalyhridge. — Several specimens of 

 D. Galii have been observed in this neighbourhood, two of 

 •which have been captured, one on the 3rd and another on 

 the 5th of August, about two miles from the Staly Brushes. 

 Both were brought to the Institute of the Stalybridge 

 Naturalists' Club while yet alive, and though bearing signs 

 of having flown much, were nevertheless in very fair con- 

 dition. — D. Jollijfe ; Stalyhridge Naturalists'' Club. 



Deilephila Galii at Stamford Hill. — I captured a very 

 fine female of Galii last week, in our garden, at rest on the 

 wooden garden-edging. — T.Moore; Willow Place, Stamford 

 Hill, August 16, 1870. 



Deilephila lineata and Acronycta Alni. — On the 13th of 

 August 1 captured two specimens of D. lineata here (Weston- 

 super-Mare), flying about a bed of Petunias in some public 

 gardens. One of these moths is very much worn ; the other 

 is a good specimen. — R. Aldridge ; Weston-super-Mare,

Description of the Larva of Deilephila livornica. — The 

 caterpillar is about three inches and a half in length, smooth 

 and black, but so covered with yellow dots as to appear 

 nearly yellow ; the head dull pink ; the upper part of the 

 second segment has a semicircular plate-like appearance of 

 the same colour ; the dorsal line yellow ; each segment 

 blotched with dull red and bordered with black ; the black 

 on the front part of the segments, from the fourth to the 

 eleventh, expands into a would-be square spot, but for a 

 series of eight yellow semicircular spots resting on the sub- 

 dorsal line, the centres of which are pale pink ; subdorsal 

 line yellow ; spiracles yellow, with a pink blotch behind and 

 below them ; the belly, claspers and pro-legs whitish yellow, 

 the lower extremities of the pro-legs black ; a large black 

 oval spot on the front part of all the claspers ; the upper part 

 of the anal claspers and flap are of the same colour as the 

 head ; the horn straight and very rough, red tipped with 

 black.— (reo. C. Bignell; August 22, 1870.
