Insects. 



I have thought it might be interesting to our English entomologists to 

 read the following remarks of Dr. Staudinger about the species, and 

 have translated them from his paper " Reise nach Island zu entomolo- 

 gischen Zwecken unternommen " published in the 4 Stettiner Ento- 

 mologische Zeitung' tor July, 1857, p. 238. The occurrence in the 

 Isle of Arran of this species, hitherto found only in the Arctic Circle, 

 is also a fact worthy of note, and it may happen that Hadena Sommeri 

 and some of the other new Lepidoptera found by Dr. Staudinger in 

 Iceland, and which he has enumerated in his very interesting paper, 

 may also yet be found in the North and North Western Islands of 

 Scotland, especially now that attention is directed to the subject. —
