of C. Hyale : on the 21st, 25th, and 27Lh of the month. 

 These were, I believe, the only specimens taken at Dover 

 this year; ihey were very abundant in 1868. C. Edusa was 

 equally scarce, since I only captured a single specimen 

 (August 30), somewhat worn, and saw a second one on the 

 wing. — G. H. Raynor ; Bordyke House, Tonhridge, Sepiem-

Deilephila lineata at Devonpoi^i. — I beg to inform you I 

 have bred a specimen of Deilephila lineata this season from 

 a caterpillar found in a field of mangold- worzel, near Saltash, 

 Cornwall. I fed it on the broad-leaf plantain ; it ceased 

 feeding July the 12th, and the perfect insect emerged on the 

 11th of August. The caterpillar is about three and a quarter 

 inches in length, the head is black, the horn red and pink; 

 a black line runs the entire length of the back, about three- 

 sixteenths of an inch in breadth, with transverse bars on each 

 segment, extending about three-sixteenths of an inch, and 

 near the same in breadth, at the end of which is a cluster of 

 minute white dots in the form of a crescent, a narrow black 

 line divides each segment ; on the sides are a great number 

 of minute yellowish dots disposed in rows ; on the lower 

 side, just above the legs, runs a distinct line of small dots, 

 with a series of small crescents below; the sides have a 

 yellowish green appearance; the belly is rusty black. —

Deilephila lineata in the Isle of Man. — While staying in 

 the Isle of Man, and in company with Mr. E. Birchall, 

 June 13th, I was fortunate in taking a female of D. lineata. 

 It came to the flowers of Silcne maritima, about twenty 

 minutes to nine in the evening. Not having my net in 

 readiness, Mr. Birchall kindly handed me his net, in which 

 I secured the prize. Has the insect been taken in the island 

 before ? Can any brother entomologist inform me whether 

 D. Galii will copulate in confinement? — Thomas J. Rox- 

 burgh; Liverpool, November 18, 1870. 



(Jhoerocainpa Celerio and FJilogophora empyrea at 

 Battle. — While staying a few days with a friend of mine, 

 Mr. Hay ley, of Catsfield Place, near Battle, we were lucky 

 enough to capture a specimen of P. enipyrea on ivy 

 blossom. In looking over some insects, captured during
