convinced that the worn specimen is D. Galii, which seems 

 to have been common in so many places this year. — 

 R. Aldridge ; Clifton, Bristol, September 13, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii at Stanley -by -Perth. — I have been suc- 

 cessful in finding, about a mile from this place, three larvae 

 of Deilephila Galii, feeding on yellow ladies' bedstraw. It 

 is eleven years since this beautiful caterpillar was found in 

 Perthshire. — Thos. Marshall ; Stanley-by-Perth, Sept. 19. 



Deilephila Galii at Ipswich. — A specimen of this moth 

 was brought to me by a gardener on the 3rd of August : it 

 was found in a garden a little way out of this town. — A. L. 

 Hunt ; 22, Fonnereau Road, Ipswich. 



Deilephila Galii at Newcastle-on-Tyne. — I had a fine larva 

 of Deilephila Galii brought to me by my brother on the 7tb 

 of September, which fed a day or two on bedstraw, and went 

 into the soil on the Uth. It was found in the engine-shed of 

 the Carlisle Railway, in this town : there is a quantity of sand 

 used for the engines; I suppose the larva was brought there 

 with it. A friend of mine, Mr. M. Henderson, found a small 

 larva of D. Galii feeding on the bedstraw on the coast near 

 South Shields, about the middle of August. — /. Hamilton; 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne. 



Deilephila Galii in Birmingham. — I have a beautiful 

 specimen of Deilephila Galii, which was caught by a boy 

 not many yards from my own door, at half-past four 

 in the afternoon of the 2nd of August, while resting on a 

 creeper running up the side of the house : it is a male insect, 

 and had not been long out of the chrysalis. I have also two 

 specimens of the above caught by a friend of mine, Mr. Hunt, 

 at Hopwood, not far from here : these are male and female, 

 the female being worn : he caught them while hovering over 

 a bed of Petunias. — J. Landon ; 57, Grosvenor Street, 

 Birmingham, August 26, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii at Tooting. — I have received a fine 

 specimen of Deilephila Galii, caught by a friend ai Tooting, 

 in Surrey, about the 12th of August. — E. H. Hast; 226, 

 Wahvorlh Road, S.E., August 25, 1870. 



Deilephila Galii on Durdham Dotvns. — A nearly full-fed 

 larva of this species was found on the 5th of September on 

 Durdham Downs, by a young collegian, C. Chamberlayne, 

 who very kindly gave it to me. 1 have not resided here long
