Captures in North Wales. — The fol- 
lowing are a few of my best captures in 
North Wales this season : — Siilbia ano- 
mala, on wing at dusk; Caradrina 
alsines , Luperina furva, Spcelotis prce- 
cox, S. pyropliila , S. Cataleuca, S. Ash- 
worthii, Aplecta herbida, at sugar; Py- 
rausta cinyulalis, JBotys terrealis, on wing 
all day; Gnophos, n. sp., allied to obscu- 
raria, on wing all day ; Eupithecia oxi- 
dcila, E. subf ulvata, E. denotata , E. con- 
slrictala, E. absinthiata, on wing at 
night ; Lamproselia Verhuellella, on As- 
plenium Ruta-muraria ; Gelechia sequax, 
on wing all day ; Plerophorus plagiodac- 
tylus, on wing all day. — S. Carter, 
Manchester ; September 14, 1856. 
Eupithecia assirnilala. — If those ento- 
mologists who are interested in the 
transformations of the genus Eupithecia 
will look, at this time of year, under the 
leaves of the Black Currant (liibes ni- 
grum), they will find an elongate, pale 
green, geometrous larva, resting along 
the veins. This is the larva of Eupithe- 
cia assirnilala. — R. F. Logan, Dudding- 
stone, Edinburgh ; September 16, 1856. 
Polyomrnatus Corydon and Hippar- 
chia Semele. — I am very sorry to say my 
stock of these insects was not equal to 
the demand. The consequence is, I 
shall be obliged to disappoint fifteen of 
the thirty-eight applicants; but if all is 
well I will do my best to supply them 
another season. I had laid in a good 
stock, as I thought, and was much sur- 
prised to find so many in want of Cory- 
don and Semele. Many will have cause 
to thank you this season for many addi- 
tions to their cabinets and for much use- 
ful information. I hope all will do what 
they can to make converts, and thus in- 
crease the number of your readers. — E. 
Wagstaff, Chippenham, Newmarket; 
September 17, 1856. 
Deilephila Galii. — I have this after- 
noon found a caterpillar of I). Galii on 
the Dyke Road on bedstraw : it is 
nearly full-grown. Another was found 
here last week. — J. R. Griffith, 
Brighton; September 20, 1856. 
Water-beetles at Forest Hill. — Yester- 
day I captured the following in the bit of 
the Croydon canal remaining at Forest 
Hill: 
Dyliscus circumfiexus, 2 
„ margiualis, 2 
Ilybius fenestratus, 60 
,, ater, 1 
„ uliginosus, 4 
Colymbetes pulverosus, 2 
„ fuscus, 4 
Agabus bipunctatus, 2 
„ bipustulatus, 2 
Hyphidrus ovatus, 6. 
I followed to the above place in the 
wake of Mr. Newman for the sake of I. 
fenestratus, a beetle that it had not been 
my good fortune to see alive. “ Croydon 
Canal” is one of the old localities given 
by Stephens for the species, and it is 
surprising to see not only how local it is, 
but also how completely it is master of the 
situation : there are but few of any other 
large species to be found, and not one 
Hydroporus or Haliplus, or such small 
fry. Applicants will be supplied as long 
as my stock lasts. — J. W. Douglas, 
Lee ; September 21 , 1856. 
Swarm of Coccinella 22-punetata . — 
On the 31st August I saw very near the 
Fox and Hounds, at Darenth, a plant of 
mullein so besprinkled with this beauti- 
ful little lady-bird that I was induced to 
make a record of numbers, with a view to 
adding this to my insect statistics. A 
little shaking and a considerable degree 
of activity in picking up produced 184. 
The plant w'as subsequently more rigidly 
searched in the hope of finding the Aphis
