Acherontia Atrcypos at Ma/rgate. — Whilst staying at Margate the end of August 
, eight fine pupae of this insect were brought to me by boys who had found them 
)otatato fields there. We have been successful in breeding four splendid 
jimens ; the fifth has no wings, and the remaining three pupae are dead. They 
lad very powerfiil voices, and we were once awoke in the night by their loud 
ueaking" the moment they came out. — H. Ramsay Cox, West Dulvdch, Srd

Orapta C-alhum in Devonshire. — 1 have much pleasure in recording the capture 
"irapta C-alhum at Dartmouth. It is not included in Mr. J. J. Reading's 
ilogue of the Lepidoptera of Devon and Cornwall ; but that gentleman remarks, 
age 23 of Part 1, that it is reputed to have occurred in the district ; so it is 
r satisfactory to be able to add another butterfly to the fauna of the two counties. 
insect in question was taken yesterday by my friend J. W. Peers, Esq., while 
'as regaling itself on some ivy blossom, in company with many brilliant 7. 
lanta. Mr. Peers saw another, but was unable to catch it, as the ivy waa 
ving on the top of an old ruin, and the greater part of it was out of reach. I 
lid have gone to look for more to-day, but it has rained incessantly. — Geevase

Notes on Mr. Jenner Fust's " Distribiition of British Lepidoptera." — On looking 
)ngh Mr. Jenner Fust's paper on the " Distribution of Lepidoptera in Great 
;ain and Ireland," in the " Trans. Ent. Soc," Srd sor., vol. 4, 1 observed that a 
species which occur in Worcestershire are not indicated as occurring in sub- 
iduce 14, of which this county forms part. There are also a few I have captured 
3 which are indicated with a mark of doubt, and one which is said to rest on
