Lamm taken at Sugar. — Not being aware that it has been noticed that sugar is at- 

 tractive to Lepidoptera, in the caterpillar, as well as in the perfect state, I beg to say 

 that I have captured several larvae this summer (Polia nebulosa, Orthosia instabilis, 

 Cosmia trapelzina, and others) eating the sugar that I had placed on trees to attract 

 moths. That larvae are fond of sugar seems certain, for on my giving some to several 

 broods I have had during the summer, they generally greedily devoured it; but 

 whether it is really attractive to them I cannot determine : I should be glad to hear if 

 any of your correspondents have found it so. — Id. 



Capture of Lepidoptera in 1847. 



Hipparchia Typhon. This in my opinion is a variety of H. Davus. I took spe- 

 cimens in Arran which connect the Rannoch with the Cumberland variety. 



Mgeria Bembeciformis. Carlisle, August 1 6. 



Demas Coryli. Pass of Killicrankie, Scotland, May 28. 



Harpalyce ruptata and albocrenata. Evidently varieties of one species. Rannoch. 



Hadena rectilinea. At sugar, and resting upon walls, palings, &c, June 14 to 30, 

 Rannoch. 



Acronycta Euphorbiee. At sugar, and resting upon walls, palings, &c. I also 

 bred this species. 



Acronycta Menyanthidis. At sugar, and resting upon walls, palings, &c. 



Acronycta Ligustri. Carlisle. 



Anarta cordigcra. At rest on granite rocks on the moors, but very difficult to cap- 

 ture during sunshine. Rannoch.
