I also bred If. Christiernana from larvae found at Shoreham, on May the 21st. — 

 Thomas De Ghey, 23, Arlington Street, S.W., July 16th, 1868. 



Note on Dejpressaria suhpropinquella and D. rhodochrella. — I collected at Folke- 

 stone, this year, on the 15th of June, a number of larvae Depressaria suhpropinquella, 

 and from them bred a nice scries of the perfect insects : among them came out one 

 specimen of Depressaria rhodochrella, with the very conspicuous dark head and thorax 

 which distinguishes that supposed species. As there was nothing in the box in 

 which my larva) were kept but thistle leaves, I think we must be satisfied that D. 

 rhodochrella is only a variety of D. suhpropinquella. — Id. 



Acronycta alni near Manchestei . — Among other pupae obtained in the winter 

 months was one of D. ahii, which produced an imago in the middle of June. — 

 Joseph Leigh, 27, Tomlinson Street, ETulme, 16th July, 1868. 



B&ilephila lineata near Derhy. — A specimen of D. Uneata was brought to me 

 alive on the 2nd of August, by my young friend Mr. F. Balgny, who lives about a 

 mile from Derby. This is the first record of the species that has come to my 

 knowledge in this neighbourhood. — Henry Evans, Darley Abbey, Derby. 



Deilephila Uneata in Kildare. — I captured, on Saturday evening last, a fine 

 specimen of D. lineata ; it was hovering over Verbena flowers, at about 8 p.m. — 

 John Douglas, Kilkea Castle, Kildare, l^th August^ 1868. 



Capture of an hermaphrodite Satyrus Semele. — It may interest the readers of the 

 Magazine to learn that a fine example of hermaphrodite Satyrus Semele (right side 

 <J , left 9 ) has been captured this season by Mr. James Garrett, on his garden 

 wall, situated in the Woodbridge Koad, Ipswich. The species abounds on Kushmere 

 Heath, some two miles from the spot ; and perhaps it may be open to conjecture 

 if the peculiar organization of this specimen may explain its being found so far away 

 from its home and relatives ? — Edward Hopley, 14, South Bank, Regent's Park, 

 August 7th, 1868. 



Capture of Pieris Da/plidice near Margate. — While hunting Colias Hyah, Acontia 

 hictuosa, and Aspilates citiaria, in the lucerne fields near Marsh Bay, Margate, last 

 Wednesday, I captured a female specimen of this rarity. Unfortunately it is not in 

 good condition. — Jui-ia E. Cox, West Dulwich, S., 6th August, 1868. 



Pieris Daplidice^ Argynnis Lathonia, Sfc, at Margate. — On the 27th July I 

 started for a morning's ramble along the cliSs to the east of Margate. Just beyond 

 the Newgate Coast-Guard Station there are some patches of lucerne, and I had 

 hardly reached the first patch before I took a male C. Hyale. A high north-easterly 

 wind had prevailed for some days previously, in spite of which I had on the Saturday 

 taken a Hyale, the first I had ever captured or seen ahve, and my hope was that I
