THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 265 



Colias Edusa. It has occasionally been taken in this neigh- 

 bourhood, and a specimen was seen in the immediate vicinity 

 three years ago. I have heard of two captures of Deilephila 

 Galii during the past year, in addition to those mentioned in 

 the 'Year-book;' one by a friend of mine at Middles- 

 borough (which I have seen), and another at Sheffield. — Jas, 

 H. Itowntree ; Wesiwood, Scarborough, February 14, 1871. 



Thecla Qiiercus and Saiyriis Tithonus in Ross-shire. — 

 Would boud-jide specimens from Ross-shire of S. Tithonus 

 and T. Quercus dissipate the scepticism of Mr. Jenner- 

 Fust? If so, I shall have the greatest pleasure in trans- 

 mitting him a specimen of each. In the same district I 

 have taken Cymatophora Or, Thyatira Batis and Notodonta 

 dictaeoides, which, so far as I am aware, have not hitherto 

 been discovered so far north. — A. Davidson ; Tarbert, Fearn, 

 by Inverness, February 4, 1871. 



Deilephila Galii at Pliimsfead. — I have lately had my 

 collection of insects increased by a specimen of D. Galii, 

 which was caught last August by a boy, in a greenhouse, at 

 Plumstead, Kent. I have made you acquainted with this 

 capture, as I believe that this insect is not of common occur- 

 rence in this county. — Thomas Barns ; Oakington House, 

 Beckenham, Kent, February 18, 1871. 



Deilephila Galii; emeryence on the Sth February. — I had 

 a splendid specimen of Deilephila Galii emerge from pupa 

 yesterday afternoon. I was fortunate in securing several 

 larvae of this rare moth, on the sand-hills at New Brighton, 

 last autumn, feeding on the lady's bedstraw. I have kept the 

 pupae in a warm kitchen. — Samuel James Capper; Hiiyton 

 Park, near Liverpool, February 9, 1871. 



Management of Liparis dispar. — I hope you will not deem 

 the following question too trivial for a reply in the ' Entomo- 

 logist' next month, but I am unable to ascertain from your 

 ' Insect Hunter's,' or your valuable work on ' Moths,' the time 

 1 may expect the eggs of Liparis dispar to hatch, and whether 

 accelerated by heat or otherwise. I hope I am not too late 

 for a reply in the February number. What should their food 

 consist of when first hatched? I am only a beginner (the 

 first year I have attempted to carry larvae through the winter). 

 — J. H. Melhnish ; 25, Albert Street, Islington, January 

 27, 1871.
