known of this species being taken by this means. — H. J. Harding ; 1, York Street ,

Note on the capture of Emmelesia Blomeri at Chenies. — I was so fortunate as to 

 catch, on the evenings of the 10th, 12th, 16th, and 19th of June last, five specimens of 

 Emmelesia Blomeri, Curtis, pulchraria of Duponchel, and continental cabinets. With 

 the exception of one, they are all in a tolerably fine and perfect condition. This rare 

 and very local species, was confined entirely to a small, open space near the edge of a 

 wood. A friend also, captured two or three additional specimens at the same place. —

Occurrence of Cynceda dentalis at Lewes. — A pair of this insect were captured by 

 Mr. James B. Ellman, of Battle, on the morning of the 3rd of July last, whilst col- 

 lecting in my company on the Cliff Hills, near Lewes. Both specimens are now in 

 my collection, and are, I imagine, a portion of a first brood of the insect, as I have 

 seen three more, in the possession of Mr. J. Jenner Weir, which were taken on the 

 same ground about the middle of last month, and which, from their fine condition, 

 favour the supposition, that the moth is double-brooded. — W. Thomson, Jun. ; 6, 

 Loudoun Place, North Brixton^ October 7th, 1846.

 Occurrence of Peronece or Buttons at Hainault Forest. — This pleasing and interest- 

 ing genus has occurred rather plentifully this season at Hainault Forest : every known 

 species has been taken, together with numerous varieties, which some few years back 

 would have been made into new species. From the numerous varieties I have seen 

 this season, connecting, as they certainly do, one species with another, I am certain 

 that there are but three, or at most four species among the Button tribe. I have a 

 number of duplicates that I should be most happy to exchange with any of my 

 brothers of the net who may be in want of them. — H. J. Harding ; 1, York Street, 

 Church Street, Shoreditch. 



Occurrence of Macrocnema marcida near Yarm. — 1 beg to mention, as a proof of 

 the advantage which your very useful ' Zoologist ' confers, that on reading Mr. Wol- 

 laston's observations on the occurrence of Macrocnema marcida on Cakile maritima, 

 I searched that plant last week, and found the insect in numbers for the first time. — 

 a T.Rudd; W or sail Grange, Yarm, October 6</i,1846.
