way (unless it be that of L. cespitis ), 
but it may serve to give an idea as 
to what species may be obtained in 
the district of London, by working 
the gas lamps in the autumn. P. C.

Captures near London .. — I now for- 
ward to you a list of captures which 
I omitted from my former lists. It 
does not include any rarities, but 
perhaps some of the species named 
in this list are not common every- 
where. 
Pamphila Sylvanus, very common. 
Zeuzera JEsculi. A fine pair from 
a fence. 
Bombyx Quercus. I took a larva 
of this species feeding on bramble at 
Wood Green ; May. 
Dianthecia Capsincola. Lug up a 
pupa at Edmonton last Christmas. 
The perfect insect, a female, emerged 
on the 22nd of April. 
Noctua Brunnea. At light; but 
the specimens taken in that manner 
are always very much worn, and are 
without the purplish bloom of fresh 
specimens. 
Anchocelis Pistacin a. V ery common 
on lamps. Last night I took several. 
Euclidia Mi. Common in spring, 
flying in the sunshine on the Railway 
banks. 
Agrotis Sufusa. At light. 
Melcmtliia Bivata. Beaten from 
bushes at Wood Green. 
Coremia Montanata , ditto. 
Plectra Pyraliata. 
Emmelesia ITydrata. 
I took 2 small geometree about 
the size of M. fluctuata, at 
Colney Hatch, of which I do not 
know the name. They were both 
quite black, except in one, there was 
a white line on the margin of the 
front wings. They were flying near 
each other in the long grass. I 
should be obliged to any of the 
readers of the “Weekly Entomolo- 
gist,” if they would inform me of the 
name of them. S. Davis, Seven 
Sister’s Boad, Holloivay, N. Oct. 6. 
[The insect described in Mr. 
Davis’ notes is 0. chceropludlata. Ed. 
W. E.] 
S. Convolvuli . — As you are always 
asking for notes, and seeing you are 
constantly noticing the capture of S. 
Convolvuli, I may say that I took a 
fine specimen in my back kitchen, 
the 1st week in September this year.
