Larvae of Deilephila galii at Hartlepool. — I had the pleasure of taking 

 two full-grown larvee oi Deilephila galii on the sand-hills here on the 23rd inst. 

 They were feeding, quite exposed, upon Galium veruui, during bright sunshine. 

 With the exception of one taken over thirty years ago, they are the only ones 

 which have been taken in our district in the larval state.— J. Gardxer, 8, Friar
