CAPTUBES. 
Lepidopteea. 
Capture of Ckcerocampa Celerio at 
Nottingham.— On Saturday evening last 
a party of workmen brought a large moth 
to the Museum of the Natural History 
Society for identification. Their capture 
was eagerly compared with the occupants 
of the case, and to the evident delight of 
its owners found to tally exactly with 
one of them ( C . Celerio ), with the ex- 
ception that it had “ no horns.” It had 
been taken in a factory in the town, into 
which, from the partiality of its species 
for light, it had no doubt been attracted 
by the glare of what the Lancashire 
operatives term “ the manufacturer’s sun,” 
too close contact with which had pro- 
bably deprived it of its antennas. — G., 
Nottingham, Sept. 24. 
Chcerocampa Celerio at Wakefield . — At 
the meeting of our Naturalists’ Society 
on Thursday last, a splendid specimen 
(alive) of C. Celerio, as if just emerged 
from the pupa, was exhibited by Mr. 
Talbot. It was in excellent condition, 
aud did not appear to have made use of 
its wings. — H. S. Roxby, Hon. Secretary, 
Wakefield; October 1. 
Dosithea Eburnata turned up again . — 
Having taken one of the above insects on 
the last day of July, 1856, near Conway, 
I have visited the locality every year 
since, — last year three times and three 
times this year, — and, after hunting, 
beating, mothing, sugaring, smoking and 
all the other “-ings” I could think of I 
found one sitting (not “on a rail”), but 
on the wall on Bangor New Road, about 
half way between Conway and the large 
rock that projects out into the Irish Sea, 
opposite Puffin Island. My old friend 
Mr. Gregson was with me when I found 
it, and he had the pleasure of setting it — 
and that was his share : this was on the 
8th of August, 1860. — Thomas Hague,

Captures at Ramvorth. — I have been 
staying at Ranworth during the last three 
weeks, and the following are some of my 
principal captures — all made in a boat, 
as the floods prevented my walking 
about, so they were taken at light : — 
Acronycta Leporina (2). 
Meliana Flammea (1). 
Leucania Phragmitidis. 
Nonagria Fulva (varieties from white 
to chesnut, also a nice spotted variety). 
Nonagria Neuvica (4). 
... Cannae (from larvae and 
pupae on Typha stems). The head of 
the pupa is always upright in the stem, 
whereas in Typhce it is always down. 
A striped larva feeding at the roots of 
the reed, not yet made out. I shall be 
happy to send this to any entomologist 
to determine and describe. 
Paraponyx Stratiotalis. 
Crambus Selasellus. 
Chilo Paludellus (or Obtusellus). Three 
very tine; not taken since 1857.
