some Lepidoptera found on the chalk near Norwich. — The chalk formation 
mderlies this city and neighbourhood, at no great depth, finds its way to 
face in a valley about two miles away ; and it is curious to observe the 
of species of Lepidoptera to be found on this spot, but almost or quite 
Tom the surrounding country. 
e of the most interesting of these is Homceosoma nebulella, which is rather 
1 among the rough herbage, and may be found at dusk on the blossoms of 
i and musk-thistle. It may also be trodden up from patches of Anthemis 
;hough what attractions there may be in this plant does not appear. 
the chalk-pits, Argyrolepia suhbaumanniana is common, and so different, 
Live, from Bauma7iniana, that it seems impossible to doubt its distinctness

ilar habits. 
the same old pits, Cochylis stramineana is plentiful, and Pterophorus plagio- 
s, Elachista triatomea, Opostega salaciella, and Bucculatrix cristatella occur, 
ry rarely, Nemotois scabiosellus. 
ang the neighbouring hedges and banks may be found Catoptria ceniulano.

% janthinana, and Stephensia Brunnichella ; and, on the trunks of some 
ash trees, in a lane, Eudorea lineolea, Depressaria granulosella, and Gelechia 
'erella. 
me few of these species are to be found in hedges for a considerable dis- 
out the majority appear confined to the chalk. 
1 the other hand, many chalk insects, such as Eubolia bipunctaria, Melanippe 
inA procellata, and Gracilaria seynifascia, seem altogether absent. — Id.

I made its appearance in my breeding cage on New Year's Day. The room in 
I had the pupa is very cold, and much exposed. — C. Campbell, 14, Blackbui-u
