OBSERVATIONS. 
CoLF.OPTEKA. 
Modes of Motion. — All our English 
Cicindelee delight in hot, dry, sandy 
-soils, and fly quickly, except C. 
Germanica, which delights in wet 
places, and runs quickly amongst the 
rreeds, and is difficult to catch. I 
mever saw it fly, but suspect that it 
does so, by night, as it has ample 
wings, and I have seen somewhere 
that species allied to it, were taken, 
at night, near the river Hoogly, in 
India, coming to light. 
I have taken Forficula Aurieulatia 
flying by moonlight, but never flying 
by day. Labia Minor always delights 
to fly in the hot sunshine. At sugar 
I have taken, besides moths, not 
only beetles but also W asps, Hornets, 
Grasshoppers ( Acrida varia etc.) 
and Phryganeas, — which proves that 
the latter have mouths, — although 
they are not well defined. — J. C. Dale

Lemdopteka. 
C. Celerio etc. I have great plea- 
sure in sending the capture of a speci- 
men of C. Celerio, which was taken 
by a friend of mine on the 28 th of 
Sep. and given to me. It was taken 
in a Yinery, upon the path, and, 
though rather worn, is otherwise a ' 
very good specimen. It is the first 
that has been captured at York. 
Whilst I am writing, I will just 
mention a few others which I have 
taken during the past season.
