THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
* E. Gelatella. Took about two 
dozen males and three females. 
S. Avellanella. One, mothing. 
Besides these I have taken many 
others too common to mention. 
I have duplicates, some pupae, 
others imagines, of those marked * for 
which I shall be glad of offers. — T. 
Wilson, Solgate, near York. Oct. 
18th, 1862. 
A. Alni. I bred a very fine speci- 
men on the 17th of April from a larva 
found on palings near this city in 
August, 1861, as noticed by me in 
the “ Intelligencer” for that month. 
W. H. Bines, St. George's Cottage, 
Tg thing , Worcester. October 21th, 
1862. 
E. Fmcantaria. I captured a spe- 
cimen of this at light on the 14tli 
inst. in fine condition. I have shown 
it to one of our oldest Entomologists, 
Mr. A. Edmunds, who informs me 
that it is the first time he lias heard of 
Fuscantaria having been captured in 
this locality. The specimen I have 
taken is a male, and, to all appear- 
ance, just emerged from the pupa.

Geometry. ( continued.) 
L. Sexalata. Rare. 
“ Lobulata. Common. 
T. Variata. Common. 
“ Rirmaria. Rather common some 
seasons. 1 have no doubt that this 
species is double brooded, for I have 
taken it in July, and then again in 
September and October. Those in 
the Autumn come freely to sugar. 
Y. R ubera ta. Not common. 
“ Impluviata. Common. 
'• Elutata. Yery common. 
J I. Rubigimta. Abundant. 
“ Occllata. Common. 
“ Albicillata. Rather common. 
M. Hastata. This species used to 
occur here, but I know of no captures 
of late years. 
“ Subtristata. Yery common. 
“ Montmata. Do. 
“ Fluctuata Do. 
A. Badiata. Common. 
“ Derwata. Not very common. 
C. Propugnata. Not common. 
“ Ferrugata. Yery common . 
C. Bilineata. Do. 
“ Fluviata. I had the pleasure of 
turning up this pretty species at York. 
I took a female on the 22nd of May, 
1860. She kindly laid a few eggs, — 
which hatched on the 5th of June. 
The larva) were full fed on the 26th, 
and the perfect insects appeared on the 
8 tli of July. They were, unfortunate- 
ly, all females, so I lost the breed. 
It is a very easy insect to rear, and 
feeds freely on Groundsel 
P. Lignata. Yery common. 
S . Dubitata. Not common. 
“ Rhamnata. Taken at flowers of 
the rush by lamplight on Oakham 
Bog.

most I ever took were five specimens 
in one season.

cimens, last year, at sugar.
