NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS 



The Death's Head at Hartlepool, — 

 Since the notice of the occurrence of this 

 species here, Mr. Alfred Wood informs me 

 a fine specimen was brought him by a 

 labourer in the dock-yard about the same 

 date. Like mine it was put in a small 

 match-box, but was quite uninjured. Has 

 this species occured elsewhere this season ? 

 — John E. Robson.
