THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 181 



had one specimen of Deilephila lineata, and have heard of 

 three others; all taken here about the middle of last month. 

 I have also had a fine specimen of D. Galii, taken from a 

 poplar. — J, Brooking Rowe ; 16, Lockyer Street ^ Plymouth,

Deilephila Euphorhi(B near Ipswich. — I had the great 

 pleasure of seeing this afternoon, for the first time, a larva of 

 Deilephila Euphorbiae: it was shown to me by Mr. Eaton, 

 whose grandson picked it up crawling in the road on the 

 outskirts of the town ; but unluckily he damaged it so much 

 that, although only half-grown, I am afraid its best days are 

 over. Mr. Eaton also told me he had another brought to 

 him about a week ago, which fed very readily on ladies' bed- 

 straw, and only laid up yesterday, so that I was just too late 

 to see it. Is it not remarkable these larvae being found so 

 far inland } I know there is no sea spurge within a long 

 distance from where they were discovered. — Edward F. 

 Bissliopp; Ipswich, September 17, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii at fVitham. — I have just had a rather 

 rubbed specimen of Deilephila Galii given to me : it was 

 taken at rest on an apple tree in the garden of Mr. J. H. 

 Blood, of this town, a day or two back. — H^, D. Cansdale ; 

 White House, Witham, August 31, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii near Bolton. — On Saturday, the 6th of 

 August, I took a very fair male specimen of Deilephila Galii, 

 at Rivington, near Bolton. There is something rather 

 remarkable in this insect being found so far from the coast 

 (over twenty miles) and so late in the year. It was flying 

 about in the hot sunshine about 2 p.m., and hovering round 

 a woodland pool. — T. Calderbank. 



Deilephila Galii at JVeston-super-Mare : Correction of 

 Error. — I write to apologize for, and to correct, an error, 

 which appeared in the August number of the ' Entomologist,' 

 where I stated that I had captured two specimens of 

 Deilephila lineata at Weston-super-Mare, one of the moths 

 being much worn and the other a good specimen. The fact 

 is that, having examined the good specimen carefully and 

 satisfied myself that it was undoubtedly Lineata, I hastily 

 concluded that the other specimen, which was caught at the 

 same time and place, was the same species, only a good deal 

 knocked about. On a closer examination, however, I am
