remark that I have taken Rhynchites 
Betuleli from sallow-shoots at West

ciated in my experience with the heat of 
midsummer, although I once took it at 
the end of October. Its appearance thus 
early somewhat astonished me, and I 
mention the fact as a signal-note of pre- 
paration to Coleopterists, that the opera- 
tion of beating may now be fairly entered 
upon. — Alfred Haward, Gloucester 
Road, Croydon; April 18.

Porthesia Chrysorrhcea. — I have a 
number of the larva; of the brown-tail
