Deiopeia pulchella at Hove and Brighton. — On Monday 

 morning, September 4th, while crossing a stubble field in 

 the parish of Hove, and about three-quarters of a mile from 

 the boundary of the parish of Brighton, I caught a very fine 

 specimen of D. pulchella, so perfect and bright that it could 

 not have been long out. Before killing and setting the 

 insect it was shown to several entomological and other 

 friends. Time of capture, 10.15 a.m. Last evening my 

 friend, Mr. Goss, brought Mr. Goninge, of Richmond 

 Buildings, to show me a specimen he had taken that 

 afternoon, about 3 o'clock, on the Race Plill. It was alive, 

 but somewhat rubbed. — T. W. Wonfor ; 38, Buckingham

 September. — Edward Newman.

 you to know that I took a fine specimen of Deiopeia pulchella
