THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
yet you find you pet down at the 
Edgewave Road without being liable 
to attend as a witness at a coronet’s 
inquest — and so it is in other matters. 
Difficulties looked at beforehand seem 
immense, and if, disheartened by the 
prospect, you shrink and will not face 
them, we grant they are immense ; but 
only pluck up courage and try , and, 
lo ! the difficulties are not!

CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteba. 
Deilephila Livornica. — A specimen of 
this insect was brought to me alive on 
Monday, the 28th inst., which had been 
caught that day in a chalk-pit near this 
town. The appearance of Livornica at 
this time of the year seems to me very 
remarkable, especially after the unusually 
severe weather we have had lately : pos- 
sibly the pupa might have been influenced 
by the warmth of a kiln fire, and the 
imago thus produced before its proper 
time. The specimen is a good deal worn, 
but this is perhaps owing to the un- 
entomological manipulation it underwent 
before coming into my hands. — M. S.

OBSERVATIONS. 
The new Noctua taken near Man- 
chester. — The new Noctua referred to by 
Mr. Edmunds, in the ‘Intelligencer’ 
(No. 225, p. 131), is Pandesma Opassina, 
Guenee. T had the identical specimen 
from Mr. West, and sent it to my friend 
Mr. Doubleday, who wrote me saying 
that he had a specimen, taken near Lon- 
don in 1847, a male (the specimen re- 
ferred to is a female), and that it must 
have been imported, as Europe does not 
afford any genus closely allied to it, and 
that it must be either Indian or Austra- 
lian. I have no doubt the specimen 
was taken as described by Mr. West:
