C. Rotundavia, May 16. 
C. Exanthemaria, May 14. Larvae on 
sallows, Darenih. 
Scodonia Belgiaria, May 20. Larvae 
on heath, West Wickham. 
Aspilates Strigillaria, May 31. Larvae 
on heath ; it spins a slight cocoon among 
its food-plant, several inches from the 
ground, and remains in the pupa state 
about three weeks. 
Abraxas Grossulariata, July 1. From 
a pupa I took of this insect a specimen 
has made its appearance in mourning, 
being a very dark variety. 
Pachycnemia Hippocastanaria, May 
10. Larva on heath, Shirley. 
Eupithecia Castigata, May 11. I have 
bred a considerable number of this spe- 
cies, but I do not know where I obtained 
the larvce. 
Cidai'ia Testata, June 23. I obtained 
a few eggs from a female of this species 
last autumn; they hatched on the 15lh 
of April last : I gave them leaves from 
various trees, and found they preferred 
sallow, but have no objection to birch : 
it is very easy to rear : when full fed the 
larva spins a slight cocoon among the 
leaves of its food-plant, and turns to a 
beautiful pupa ; the moth then makes its 
appearance in about two weeks. 
Ptilophora Palpina, June 25. From 
larvae on sallows. West Wickham. 
Notodonta Dictaeoides, May 16. From 
larvae on birch. West Wickham. 
N. Ziczac, May 12. From larvae on 
sallow and dwarf poplar. West Wick- 
ham and Darenth. 
N. Dodonea, June 2. From larvae on 
oak, Darenth. 
Acronycta Leporina, May 9. From 
larvae on birch. West Wickham. When 
the larvae are full fed I give them a piece 
of cork, in which they eat their way and 
turn to pupae, after first covering the 
hole with hairs from their body. 
Mamestra Persicarise, May 11. From 
larvae on various plants in my own 
garden, at Islington. 
Agrotis Porphyrea, June 21. From 
larvae on heath. West Wickham. 
Triphaena Fimbria, June 27. From 
larvae on birch. West Wickham. Being 
a night-feeder, those who desire to pro- 
cure the larvae must pay nocturnal visits 
to the woods, when with the aid of a 
lantern they may be taken, not uncom- 
monly off the just-bursting buds of birch, 
in April. 
T. Orbona, June 13. From larvae on 
various low plants, and by the use of a 
sweeping-net they may be taken in some 
numbers in April and May. 
T. Pronuba, June 16. From larvae on 
grass and other low plants. 
Noctua Triangulum, June 3. From 
larvae feeding on birch, West Wickham. 
N. Brunnea, June 14. Do. 
N. Festiva, June 9. Do. 
N. Baja, June 18. Do. 
Trachea Piniperda, May 17. From 
larvae on pine. West Wickham and Da- 
renth. 
Orthosia Upsilon, June 26. From 
larvae on willow. Those in want of this 
species should look at the trunks of the 
willows just as it is getting dusk, when 
the larvae may be observed running up 
the trees to feed : the larva is a night 
feeder, and is full fed at the latter end of 
May. 
Aplecta Nebulosa, June 4. From larvae 
on birch and sallow. West Wickham.
