 at Woodford (Hunt) ; [two larvae August 1886, one of which 

 pupated, the pupa was perfectly healthy August, 1887, and appeared 

 likely to pass another winter in the pupal stage (teste Higgs, Ent., 

 xxi., p. 55).*] Four larvae, at Dover, on August I4th-i6th, 1894, 

 one pupated on August 20th, from which an imago emerged 

 October 7th, another pupated on August 17th, and an imago 

 emerged October 5th, another pupated August 19th, the imago 

 emerged October 10th (the 4th larva was preserved). In 1895, two 

 larvae were found at Dover on August 12th, one pupated on August 

 13th, the imago appearing September 30th, the other larva preserved, 

 another larva was taken on August 14th, pupated August 16th, the 

 imago appeared on October 9th. In 1897, a larva taken on August 16th, 

 pupated August 24th, but the pupa died (Pickett, Ent. Ree., xii., p. 

 138). Four larvae on October 19th, 1895, and 13 more on October 24th, 

 were sent from Port Wrinkle on Whitsand Bay, of these 5 died, 2 were 

 given away, 10 went down for pupation from which 7 healthy pupae were 

 obtained. The larvae went down between October 19th and Novem- 

 ber 17th; the pupae were forced — one from December 3rd, an imago 

 from which emerged December 20th, three from the 14th, of which one 

 emerged on the 29th, another on the 30th, and the third on January 

 1st; one more was forced from January 12th, the imago emerging on 

 January 29th. Two pupae died (Sturt, Ent. Ree., vii., p. 226). Two full- 

 fed larvae were found in October, 1895, at Wye (Theobald); two larvae at 

 Weymouth, one of which went down on October 3rd, 1895, the other, 

 found on October 5th, was fullfed by October 16th (Richardson) ; 1 larva 

 in August, 1898, at Weymouth, on garden convolvulus (Peachell); 1 full- 

 grown larva on September 1st, 1899, at Penarth (Howe) ; 1 fullgrown 

 larva on September 28th, 1900, at Portland (Hyde) ; a larva on August 

 2nd, and a pupa on September 22nd, 1901, at Portland (Hyde); 

 fullgrown larva on August 7th, 1901, on Holy Island, a pupa 

 also was dug up on September 30th in the island (Embleton) ; 

 two larvae August 14th, 1901, on Convolvulus arvensis, at Maldon

 August 19th and September 10th, 1901, at Dovercourt, on C. arvensis; 

 also 59 pupae between August 1 6th and November 23rd, brought by 

 labourers digging potatoes ; from these and the larvae only two moths 

 were bred (Mathew) ; 2 larvae on August 16th. 1901, at Elstow, these 

 pupated on August 28th and September 2nd, 2 other larvae taken on 

 September 7th, pupated on the 12th, and one on September 14th which 

 pupated on the 16th, whilst a pupa was found on October 4th ; all 

 the pupae died (Nash); 26 larvae, by August 19th, 1901, on the sand- 

 hills of the Lancashire coast, feeding on wild convolvulus (Grimshaw) ; 



* We have no doubt from this record that this was an error and that the 

 recorder did not know the larva or pupa of this species.
