charge of “ toujours perdrix” can be 
brought against the above heading, yet 
it may be excused, as in a very short 
time the jaws of all-devouring London

OBSERVATIONS. 
Noctua C-nigrum. — When groping 
amongst a lot of loose stones this after- 
noon I disturbed, amongst other things, 
a Noctua, which was excessively lively, 
and got a good deal damaged, as I had 
nothing to put him in ; it proved to be 
C-nigrum. I don’t know whether this 
insect hybernates, but it seemed nothing 
daunted at the cold weather; perhaps they 
are used to it in these parts. — V. R.
