Rediscovery of TrocJiilium Scoli- 
ceforme — Will it interest your readers 
to hear that I discovered the long-lost 
locality for Trochilium Scoliceforme 
about two weeks ago ? 
"When searching for it in a Birch 
Wood, near Llangollen, I first ob- 
served a pupa- skin projecting from 
the bark on the trunk of an old black 
birch tree, about breast high, and 
had not gone far before I observed a 
tree from which several specimens 
seemed to have been recently cut, by 
the way in which the tree trunk was 
hacked. In this tree were also some 
small tacks, which, it seemed to me, 
had done duty holding a net round 
the tree, so as to secure any specimens 
that might appear when the ingenious 
person, who had evidently discovered 
it before me, was not there. The 
tacks were quite new, and exactly 
corresponded with one I observed on 
the chimney piece in my sitting room 
the same morning. Thus it would 
appear that I was lodging in the same 
house as the first re-discoverer. This 
led to enquiry, and I found that 
such was the fact — much to the dis- 
appointment of the said person — who 
evidently did not wish the crust of 
his “ Plum Pie ” broken by me. The 
wood is easy to find, — Go up the Yale 
of Cruses to the Abbey, — then turn 
to the right, through the fields, into 
the wood. — C. S. Gregson, Stanley 
Grove, Liverpool, August 8. 1862. 
Agrotis Ashworthii . — I took Ag- . 
rot is Ashworthii freely at sugar, on 
the slope at the limestone rocks near 
Llangollen on the night of the 24th. 
July. Agrotis Lucernea aud Mam- 
estra Furva were in fine condition, 
and equally common as Ashivorthii . — 
Id. August 9. 1862. 
Callimorpha Jacobcece. — I have just 
obtained a bred specimen of the above 
insect, similar to the one I took last 
year, a notice of which was given in 
the “ Lntelligencer." The present 
specimen, like its predecessor, has 
the under wings of a delicate buff 
color, while the markings on the 
upper wings are bright ochre yellow.

Capture of Aplecta Occulta — While 
sugaring in the neighbourhood of 
Barlow Moor Wood, last night, I had 
the pleasure of taking a fine specimen 
of Aplecta Occulta. As the insect is 
not common here, I thought it worth 
while to acquaint you of the capture. 
— J. R. Hardy, 43, Radnor Street, 
ILulme, Manchester, August 13. 1862. 
Epione Vcspertaria — I shall be glad 
to send this species to any gentleman 
who may want it, on receipt of a 
small box. and return postage. — 
James Robinson, Jackson Street, 
Groves, York, August 12. 1862.
