■with a dark dot on each segmental 
incision. Subdorsal and spiracular 
lines narrow, paler than the ground 
colour, the latter with a pinkish 
tinge ; the space between filled up 
with darker, forming a tolerably con- 
spicuous band. On the second seg- 
ment is a 'very dark crescent, on 
which the dorsal and subdorsal lines 
are conspicuous. On each segment, 
after the second, are four minute 
ocelli, dirty white tinged with brown- 
ish ; two on the middle further apart 
than two on the anterior part. 
Spiracles black ; beneath each is a 
minute whitish ocellus in a blotch of 
pinkish, which joins the spiracular 
line. Claspers, pale dirty greenish. 
Mine were beaten from hawthorn in 
May, went underground June 24th,

An Entomologist’s Address Wanted. 
— I shall be glad if you would in- 
sert the following query : — 
A. Atropos. Should this meet the 
eye of G. F. Matthews, (a letter to 
whom, addressed to Portsmouth, was 
returned do me this morning from 
the dead letter office), I should be 
obliged if he would either write to 
me, or publish in the ‘ Entomologist’ 
how long the pupcv of A. Atropos 
were, in foi’cing, before the in sect 
appeared. I refer to his letter in the 
‘ Entomologist ’ of April 1 1th, 1863. 
Should Mr. Matthews publish his 
answer in the ‘ Entomologist,’ I have 
reason to believe many would be 
obliged. Rev. G. Norris, W. Doll- 
ing, Beepham, Norfolk.

Captures in Kent. — In compliance 
with the wish you have expressed 
that your correspondents should send 
you from time to time accounts of 
their captures. I forward the follow- 
ing 1 memoranda of a few insects taken 
in Kent, during a fortnight’s holiday 
I took in June. While staying with 
my old schoolfellow the Rev. Henry 
Hilton, at Milstead Rectory, near 
Sittingbourne, we went one day to 
some woods between there and 
Canterbury, near Polders I think, 
and I took one L. testudo, as it was 
flying up to an oak tree, and one P. 
Lacertinaria beaten out of a bush. 
The other week I staid with a friend 
at Chatham, and while there went to
