L^pidoptera at the Flowers of th>e 

 i H l:ath.--I thought it perhaps might be interest- 

 I ing to some of your readers to know what a 

 many species of Lepidoptera visits the flowers 

 ' of the common heath. I have been working at 

 | them well during the month of August to get 

 a friend of mine a series of Glareosa. I was 

 only fortunate to get one where I have at 

 , other seasons taken it freely, but I secured 

 j myself a nice series of Lucernea, a species that 

 1 has never been taken in this district but by 

 ; myself. The following is a list of the species 

 '. I took or could have taken : — P. Brassiccc, 

 Pit Leas, Sylvinus, Vclleda, El/uguaria, Wavaria, 

 Atomaria, Filigramaria, Didymata, Ctcsiata, 

 Minutata, Elutata, Fluctuata, Dubiiate, Innnauata,

 Howorthii, Lucernea, Orbona, Pronuba, Glareosa, 

 Xanthographa, Chi, Viminalis, &>c :—]. W. 

 Baldwin, Toppings, Turton, near Bolton. 



Captures at Sugar. — I send a list of insects 

 I have taken this year at Sugar, during August 

 and up to the io th of September, in my own 

 garden as I thought it might interest some of 

 the readers of the Young Naturalist. This has 

 been the best year I have ever known for 

 insects at sugar. The following is a list of 

 the species: — 2 Megicaphala, 8 Congera, 5 Com- 

 ma, 12 Nictitans, Putris, 1 Lithoxylea, Polyodon 

 (very common), one very hansome variety ; 

 Oculea (very common), some very fine varieties ; 

 Strigilis (common) a very handsome variety ; 

 Furuncula (common), Blanda (very common), 

 Cubicularis (common), Suffusa (common), 2 

 Ravida(]a.n. 2nd, then common), about 8 

 Fimbria, a few Inter jecta (not as common as 

 usual), Orbona and Pronuba very numerous, the 

 latter a perfect nuisance. Plecta,C -nigrum was 

 common, and a few Umbrosa ; Xanthographa 

 1 (very common), Literosa (a few, not as many 

 j as most years), about 10 Cerago, also a few
