beautiful little moth ; and, after very careful inspection, we 

 find that it most precisely agrees with the description and 

 figure of Deiopeia pulchella in your book. It rose at my feet 

 from heather, and flew very slowly. Time, a little after 

 10 A.M. — Richard Beck; Olivers Mount School^ Scar- 

 borough, September 14, 1871. 



Deiopeia pulchella at Middleton. — I have in my pos- 

 session a very fine female in good condition of this very rare 

 insect, captured on the 8th of September, in the railway 

 canal-yard, Middleton Station, by one of the workmen 

 employed, who boxed it for mere curiosity, being attracted 

 by its beauty. — John Thorpe; Church Street, Middleton, 

 Manchester, September 19, 1871. 



Deiopeia pulchella at Ipswich. — I have this year been 

 fortunate enough to capture (on the 11th and 12th of Septem- 

 ber) three specimens of Deiopeia pulchella : one at rest on 

 French marygold, and two others brushed up, by accident, 

 out of a bed of Jacobeas ; all three were taken without a net. 

 Their flight was heavy, and very similar to the commoner 

 varieties of footman. This is, I believe, the first capture of 

 the insect in Suffolk. — C. F. Long ; Medical Superintendenty 

 Ipswich Borough Asylum. 



Deiopeia pulchella at Dover. — The gentleman whom I have 

 mentioned as having taken Daplidice, also captured a splendid 

 specimen of Deiopeia pulchella, on the beach here, on the 

 5th September. I have seen the specimen, and it is really 

 beautiful. — E. White; 11, Clarendon Place, Folkestone 

 Road, Dover. 



Deiopeia pulchella near Brighton. — On Monday last a 

 female specimen of D. pulchella was taken in a stubble field, 

 near the Brighton race-course, and was brought to me alive 

 a few hours afterwards by its fortunate captor. I have had 

 the pleasure of adding this insect to my collection. — Herbert 

 Goss ; September 16, 1871. 



Deiopeia pulchella at Brighton. — On the 10th inst., 

 between Black-rock and the race-course, in a stubble field, 

 1 saw a fine specimen of the above rarity taken by a 

 gentleman living at Brighton. No doubt a hedge-stake, or 

 something nearly as bad, would have gone through it, had 1 not 

 been there. 1 had the pleasure of pinning it for him. Later 

 in the day, in an adjoining field, I saw another specimen settled
