rea, Blanda, &c. This is quite a uew 
locality for the extremely local Ditrape- 
zium, which I imagine will be with us the 
capture of the season : haring turned it up 
we shall be on the qui vive for it the next 
week or so. It may perhaps prove useful 
to the readers of the ‘Intelligencer’ to 
know the attractions of the Teucrium, for 
when the moths won’t come to sugar (and 
such 1 believe has universally been their 
conduct this season), a knowledge of their 
“peculiar vanity” is valuable. My 
brother found Slenia punctalis swarm- 
ing, a few days since, on some cliffs 
near Braunton Burrows. — Murray A. 
Mathews, Raleigh , near Barnstaple;

Since writing the above we have met

Captures at Bridge of Allan . — 'J heel a 
Quercus has appeared abundantly here 
this summer, strange to say nearly all 
females (out of twenty-two specimens 
captured yesterday only three were 
males). Lithosia Complanula seems also 
to be rather abundant ; I found three 
specimens yesterday on nettle, drying 
their wings, just emerged from the pup®.

mothing. — W. G. Rawlinson, The Chest- 
nuts, Taunton; July 21. 
Captures in South Wales . — I have had 
the pleasure of seeing Colias Edusa flying 
over some fields here. I have as yet been 
unable to capture any, but hope to do so
