THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
A labouring man having knocked 
at his master’s door, was waiting for 
it to he opened, and saw the insect 
sitting on the door post, about four 
feet from the ground, about 9 a.m. 
on the 8th. of October. He put it in 
a bottle, where he kept it for several 
days, and then found it dead ; so he 
gave it to the man in whose house 
I found it. I have seen both men, 
and can vouch for the accuracy of 
these statements, as I know them 
well. The house where it was taken 
is about a mile from my own. I saw 
a specimen (taken at Headley, about 
three miles from here, in 1858) a short 
time ago, and another taken at Dork- 
ing in a Chemist’ 8 shop a few years 
ago. You are quite welcome to 
notice this in your journal, and to 
authenticate it with my name. —
