“ Munda. I have taken this species 
only sparingly until this season, 
when it was found very com- 
monly at s.ugar in March and 
April. # 
“ Cruda. Common at sallows. 
0. Suspecta. Rather common at 
sugar some seasons. This year 
it has been very rare. I had the 
pleasure of breeding a specimen 
from a larva sent by my friend 
Mr. Taylor, of Leeds, who rea- 
red a fine series from the egg. 
The larvae sweaty very much in 
transmission ; — so much so, that 
I failed to get a description.

under the bark of Willow trees. 
It is very much infested with 
ichneumons.

1 7. Xerampelina. This species was

at the lamps. I also had the 
pleasure of taking two fine spec- 
imens this year.

ingly on silene inflata. 
“ Capsincola. The larva was very 
common this Autumn on what 
I take to be Silene nutans.

took the larva of this species on 
Lychnis floscuculi.

CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteba. 
C. Celerio . — I am happy to say 
that the specimen of Celerio I referred 
to in my last (a private letter) now 
graces my cabinet. I met with it in 
a cottage more than a month ago. It 
was then sticking against the wall, 
with a large needle through it, and I 
tried hard to get it but was refused. 
However, yesterday, I called there 
again, and the man gave it me quite 
readily. It is a lovely specimen. 
This is its history :
