THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
just getting cool ; so, at the mouth 
of the Shakespeare tunnel, we pause 
and go to work. The delicate 
Lozopera Francillana flits about the 
grass, disturbed by our footsteps. 
Vterophorus Microdactylus and Balio- 
dactylus are in some numbers about a 
clump of stunted bushes ; the beauti- 
ful Tortrix Calosetia Nigromaculana 
is common all over the grass ; and 
here we again take Aspilates Gil- 
varia. A strange sight it is to see 
the little clusters of Filipendulce 
that stud the flowers. Six, seven, 
eight, we can count on one bunch. 
Oh for fifty more pill boxes ! Not 
for tho gentle Anthrocera, reader; 
but for the various Tortrices and 
Tinece that we see in all directions. 
But, however, we have to lament 
the last of the boxes ; and as it is 
poor work seeing good Micros that 
we cannot take, the end of my 
boxes shall be the end of my day’s 
adventures. — J. B. Blackburn, 4 th 
August , 1863. 
Captures in June and July. — The 
following very scanty list includes 
the sum total of my captures at 
Harrow during the above two 
months. A great part of that time, 
however, I was confined to the house 
through illness, which accounts, 
partly, for the list being so devoid 
of interest: — 
Thymele alveolus, for the first 
time at Harrow. 
Vamphila sylvanus , common. 
Selenia lunaria , in a spider’s web. 
Boarmia rhomboidaria. 
lodes lactearia, beating. 
Hemithea thymiana, beating, 
Acidalia aversata, common. 
Bradyepetes amataria. This species 
has quite deserted its old habitat. 
I turned up a few specimens in a 
hedge some distance off. 
Ligdia adustata, a few. 
Fupithecia exiguata. 
Melanthia rubiginata , muce less 
common than hitherto. 
Cidaria prunata. 
Tanagra cheerophyllata, abundant; 
came out during some wet weather, 
and very few were to be [found in 
good condition.

Faraponyx stratiotalis. — This 
pretty little species, which, accord- 
ing to Stainton, is somewhat local, 
has again appeared on the banks of 
the New River. I shall have 
pleasure in securing specimens for 
lepidopterists requiring it, if they 
will send me notes at once, and boxes 
when I write for them. Old corres- 
pondents are especially invited to 
apply. — F. Lovel Keats, 4, Harr in-
