CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteba. 
Nepticula Ulmivora, Mtihlig. — On the 
30th of August last I met with a Nep- 
ticula on some palings near Clapham 
Common, which Mr. Stainton pronounces 
to be this species. — H. Tompkins, 44, 
Guildford Street, Russell Square, London ; 
March. 12, 1861. 
Gracilaria Populelorum. — I captured 
a specimen of this uncommon species 
flying about a birch tree, on the borders 
of Tilgate Forest, the early part of last 
April. — Ibid. 
A Run to the North, in August, 
I860.— 
Aug. 4. Edinburgh. Tried Arthur’s 
Seat for P. Artaxerxes, but could not 
find any, though searched it thoroughly. 
Went on towards Craigmillar, where 
found a few S. lutealis, C. immanata (1), 
H. proboscidalis { 1), and also C.pyra- 
liata (l). Not a single butterfly could 
we see during the day. 
Aug. 5. Tried Arthur’s Seat again 
for Artaxerxes, but without success. Took 
the road towards Roslin : S. lutealis very 
frequent along the edges of the fields. 
A single specimen of B.perlu we found 
in its usual position, sitting on a lichen- 
covered wall. A representative of the 
widely-spread species, P. farinalis , we 
found sitting on a wall in the Cannon- 
gate, and surprised the inhabitants by 
chasing it to a wall, where we succeeded 
in capturing it. C. immanata (I) on a 
wall near Roslin Churchyard. H. nicti- 
tans (1) near Roslin. 
Aug. 6. Took train from Edinburgh 
to Stirling, and thence took road to 
Doune. Single specimens of T. Quercus, 
T.janlhina, C.ocellata and C. lichenaria 
were all we took to-day. 
Aug. 7. Callandar, Trosachs and 
Loch Katrine. A single P. Artaxerxes 
in worn condition, about half-way be- 
tween Callandar and the Trosachs, flying 
with Alexis: broken specimens of A. 
Aglaia and C. Davus, near the same 
spot ; C. pamphilus of course was pre- 
sent. C. didymaria frequent on banks 
of Loch Katrine (males only) with 
M. subtristata (1), C. propugnata (3), 
M. margaritata (1) and H. elutata. 
Aug. 8. Crossed Loch Lomond, and on 
the further bank succeeded in finding 
three much-worn Cassiope and one M. 
margaritata. A mist then came on, and 
we folded our nets up. A lady, whom 
we met near Ardlui, told us that the 
neighbourhood was a first-rate place for 
Lepidoptera — that Blandina, Artaxerxes, 
Davus, &c., were very common. 
Aug. 9. On the other side of Tyn- 
drum we found C. graminis flying over a 
few rushes. On the moors of Rannoeh 
the larvae of L. Rubi in hundreds; a 
single larva of S. Carpini and also two 
of L. Quercus, var. Callunce. 
Aug. 10. Through Glen Coe. A 
mist prevented our doing anything in the 
entomological way. Took C. propug- 
naria and C. ocellata near Ballahulish. 
In the evening found E.fasciaria (1) in 
a pine wood, with C.fulvata (1); H.pro- 
boscidalis (in dozens), together with R. 
Cralcegata, in hedges. 
Aug. 11. E. Blandina frequent be- 
tween the sixth and seventh mile-stones 
from Ballahulish. H. Semele plentiful, 
but worn, on the rising ground at the 
turn of the road where it opens on Loch 
Eil. A. Aglaia numerous and in good 
condition, with E. Chenopodiata, along 
the road. Larvae of L. Rubi frequent. 
Aug. 12. C. graminis on some yellow 
flowers (probably Senecio Jacobcea), which 
seem to have a very intoxicating effect 
on it.. P. Alexis on moors near Spaen 
Bridge. A single larva of L. Quercus, 
var. Callunce. Larval of L. Rubi plenti- 
ful. 
Aug. 13. From Spaen Bridge to Loch 
Laggan. C. graminis plentiful, flying 
with E. Blandina, in shady nooks near 
the road. Single specimens of A. Aglaia
