THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Sphinx Convolvuli and Cirreedia Xe- 
rampelina. — Within the last week I have 
captured len specimens of S. Convolvuli ; 
six of them were spoiled hy the wind and 
rain. I also captured a fine female spe- 
cimen of C. Xerampelina, and I also 
possess seven eggs of the same: if any of 
your correspondents can inform me re- 
specting the food with which I ought to 
feed the young larvae I shall feel much 
obliged.— W. CulverWELL, Thorp Per- 
tow , Bedale, Yorkshire ; Sept. 19. 
Deilephila Galii and Sphinx Con- 
volvuli. — I have to record the capture of 
D. Galii on the 3rd of July, taken off 
the flowers of the honeysuckle, by Mr. 
W. Gill; also two specimens of S. Con- 
volvuli. — D. G. Goodall, 2, Gutters, 
Macclesfield ; Sept. 23. 
Sphinx Convolvuli, SfC., and Captures 
with Sugar at Chatham. — As I fiud 
'S'. Convolvuli has been taken in most 
parts, I beg to say that it was captured 
on six different occasions in this locality 
within the last nine days, mostly on Pe- 
tunias; but, having fallen to the lot of a 
non-professional, they were not in good 
condition. Colias Edusa has also been 
plentiful, but ofteuer seen than taken, as 
being mostly confined to the clover fields, 
the fanners have not approved of our 
amusement at their expense. One of 
your correspondents complains that no 
one records his doings at sugar; but if 
all have been as unfortunate as I and 
others in this locality have been, I do not 
wonder at it, for since the 6th of August 
there have only fallen to my lot —

he had in any quantity : to obtain these 
I have been out two nights in each week

each occasion. — J ohn Tyber, Melville 
Hospital, Chatham ; Sept. 1 7. 
Acheronlia Atropos. — A very fine male 
was taken on Saturday last. I had a 
specimen out on Friday. The pupa? do 
not come in quite so freely as last year. — •

this insect was brought to me this

yesterday in the centre of the town ; un- 
fortunately it is rubbed on the thorax. —
