Lime, and the perfect insect bred 
from it. 
II. Pennaria . — Beaten from Privet 
Apple, Sallow and Rose.’ 
P. Pilosaria . — Found on Birch 
and Hawthorn. 
N. Zonaria . — I was rather sur- 
prised to find a larva which had 
escaped from a cage, where he and 
his brethren had been fed solely on 
yarrow, had attacked, with much 
relish, a twig of Birch which he met 
with in his wanderings, — having 
remained and fed on it for several 
hours before I discovered him. 
B. Hirtaria . — Several larvae found 
on Apricot. 
C. Lichenaria. — Several larvae 
beaten from old Whitethorn Bushes, 
the branches of which are thickly 
covered with lichens and moss. 
B. Repandata . — Larvae taken by 
sweeping on heath, and the moths 
bred. Young larvae also found in 
Autumn on potentilla and dock. 
“ Rhomboidaria. — Some larvae 
found on Broom, and the perfect 
insects bred. The young larva lately 
found on vine leaves. 
T. Extersaria . — Larvae reared from 
the egg, this summer, gave most 
decided preference to Oak, but they 
ate a little Birch also. One larva, 
found on Sallow, fed up well, but 
produced a crippled moth. 
G. Obscurata . — I have twice reared 
larvae of the Broivn Annulet, —Pulla ta, 
— on Chickweed, and could see no 
difference between them and the larvae 
described by Guenee as Obscurata ; 
but as it has been settled that there 
is but one species of Gnophos known 
in Britain, my testimony is now 
rather unnecessary. 
I. Lactearia . — Found on Sallow 
and Dogwood. 
II. Thymiaria . — I have lately 
found the young larva feeding on 
tormentilla ; last Autumn I found it 
feeding on mugwort ; those I take in 
the spring, are always beaten from 
trees and bushes, as though they then 
changed their low habits and food, 
and made a rise in the world. 
A. Candidata . — Once beaten from 
Hazel, and once from Birch. 
A. Osseata . — Larva reai’ed from 
the egg, on Dandelion. 
Virgularia. ( incanaria. H. D. ) 
Like several other Acidalice will eat 
Dandelion. Rev. J. Hellins, Chap- 
lain's House, County Prison, Exeter. 
CAPTURES. 
CoLEOPTEBA. 
Captures near Preston . — It is now 
a good time for taking some species 
of Coleoptera. A few days ago, by 
beating the dead wood in an old fence 
among other things I got, 
Syntonium oneum, Cheer ay us Shep- 
pardi, Lissodema 4-guttatum, Pogon- 
ocherus hispidus ; from under bark, 
Omalium vile, Omalium sti latum , 
Rhizophagus ferruginous, and from 
decaying fungus, Gyrophcena nana, 
Agaricochara laevicollis. Bolitochara 
lunulata, Oxypoda alter nans, Lath- 
rimeum unicolor, etc. Edw. Graham.
