fine specimens of Plusia inscripta in

Polyommatus Cory don. — I have just 
taken a number of this insect, and have 
some to spare. We must “ wait a little 
longer” for Hera, “ the good time” is not 
come yet. — J. J. Reeve, Newhaven, 
Sussex; August 5, 1856. 
On Saturday I might have taken hun- 
dreds of Corydon : I filled my box and 
cried enough ! The greater number 
were males. I could have taken at least 
fifty males in an hour, hut I only took 
about twenty females in three hours. If 
you know any one wanting this insect, 
Hipparchia Semele, or Nemeophila Plan- 
taginis, T shall he happy to supply them.

gilvaria is common on the hill-tops. — H.

New or Rare Lepidoptera. — This 
meeting was unusually interesting, owing 
to the number of species of rare Lepi- 
doptera that were exhibited: thus, Mr. 
Bolt, of Bristol (who was introduced by 
Mr. Douglas), exhibited his specimen 
of Drepana sicula (the second British 
specimen known) ; a third has since been 
taken by Mr. Vaughan. 
Mr. Hunter exhibited a Spilodes palea- 
lis and a Trochilium chrysidiforme, taken 
near Folkstone, and a new Noctua, Erio- 
pus Latreillei, which he had bred from an 
unobserved larva. 
Mr. S. Stevens exhibited two Deile- 
pliila Galii bred from larva: found on 
the Deal sand-hills by Mr. Smith the 
previous autumn, and several of an appa- 
rently new Lozotcenia frem Folkstone; 
also four Trochilium chrysidiforme, and

hind wings were wanting, and he re- 
marked that three-winged specimens of 
this insect had also been taken by Mr. 
Stevens, Mr. Wildman, and Mr. Tomp- 
kins. 
Mr. Stevens exhibited a tlnee-winged 
Harpalyce Galiata, and one with only 
two wings. Mr. Bond said on several 
occasions he had taken some of the com-

wings deficient. Mr. Smith stated that
