AMalia emutaria at King's Lynn.-TMs pretty little species is still rather 
«arce m most collections, and few locahties are known for it. Mr E L Kin^ of 
Lmg's Lynn naet with one specimen last year, and this year has taken two, June 
.3rd and 26th, about 9 p.m., in his garden, which is situated not far from the salt

consignata;' but immediately enquired from what he had bred it, and did he' 
low the larva? He replied that he did not know the larva, but had bred the 
oth from a pupa found under the bark of an apple-tree. At that time he and I 
are ahke ignorant that the species had been already bred in this country.-Io.

I do not suppose this is a singular instance, and quite expect to hear that many 
3Cies which appear as early in the year as 8. populi are this season exceptionally 
ible-brooded.-A. H. Tayloe, Folkestone, 3rd August.
