Sphinx Convolvuli at Tottenham. 
A specimen of Convolvuli was found 
by a lad on the 15 th instant, resting 
on some herbage by the banks of 
the river Lea, near Tottenham. It 
is now in my possession, but is, un- 
fortunately, rather mutilated, owing 
to the unentomological treatment it 
experienced from the hands of its 
captor. W. Cole, Tottenham , Octo- 
ber 21, 1863. 
S. Convolvuli, near Holloway. A 
fine specimen of this insect was taken 
at the end of September, on a fence, 
by an Entomologist living a few 
doors from here. S. Davis, Seven 
Sisters' Road, Holloivay, N. 
Beware. — Some 21 months ago I 
sent a largish box of Insects to a Mr. 
B., of York, and although I have 
written to him many times, I cannot 
get my box back again. Can you in- 
form me how to get it back again ? 
for the box was not mine, and being 
only a working man, I cannot afford 
to lose it. I think it is too bad that 
those who are very ready to take 
other people’s insects should not 
make their return in something like 
a reasonable time. J. Batty, 5, Court 
Hollis, Croft, Sheffield. 
[We do not know what our cor- 
respondent can do further. We have 
had boxes kept as long ourselves, and 
received them safely in the end. Per- 
haps the above notice may have the 
desired effect. Ed. IV. E.]
