doubtful whether I shall be able to rear 
them. — H. T. Stainton, Aberdeen; 
August 12. 
Neplicula Myrtillella. — On the same 
bill-side I also collected a few of the 
larvae of this insect, aud the larvae of 
N. luteella were very plentiful on one 
small birch tree. — Ibid. 
Luperina Connexa. — Mr. Win. Talbot, 
from Wakefield, and I paid a visit to 
the wood where the above species is 
taken. On the 7th August I took some 
very fine and perfect specimens. On the 
8th we paid a visit to Maltby Wood, and 
took the larvae of C. Bifida , A. Mega- 
cephala, P. Palpina, N. dictcea , N. Zic- 
zac, G. flamy o, D. Capsincola, D. G'ueu- 
bali, D. Carpophaga, E. Venosaria, See. 
On the way home, on the 8th, I took a 
very fine larva of A. Atropos that went 
down as soon as put in the cage. On 
the 9th, a short distance from Moorgate 
Grove, we took seven beautiful specimens, 
six males and one female, of C. Edusa. —

Apalura Iris coming to Sugar.— Last 
Saturday, while collecting in Blouse 
Wood, near Whitchurch, Hants (where 
I am now staying), I caught sight of A. 
Iris flying about the branches of an oak. 
I immediately cut a long stick and 
fastened it to my net, but could not 
reach him. I then threw up stones at 
him, but instead of following them down, 
he flew away to another tree. Deter- 
mined to follow him up, I went again in 
search on Monday morning and painted 
the tree with sugar. After about half an 
hour’s watching I saw him come and 
perch on one of the outside branches : in 
a short time he fluttered to the top ot 
the trunk, and was still making his 
way down (evidently to the sugar) 
w hen I threw my net over him, and 
he was soon safely secured in my col- 
lecting-box. It proved to be rather a 
worn specimen, it being rather late in the 
season for them. I saw another at a 
little distance from him, but afterwards 
lost sight of it. I took also on the same 
day, four specimens of T. Quercus, which 
is tolerably plentiful here. — W. €. Tur- 
neb, of 33, Bermondsey Square ; Aug. 9. 
Hadena Chenopodii. — Having taken 
this insect in some numbers during the 
past fortnight, I shall be very happy to 
distribute it, together with Oxyacanthce, 
Protea, Diluta, C-Nigrum, Pistacina, 
Pyramidea, See., as far as my stock lasts, 
to those who will send me a box with 
return postage ; or, if any one be desirous 
to exchange, I shall have much pleasure 
in receiving any of the following : — 209, 
216, 2L8, 238, 241,247, 253,263,277, 
280,287, 294, 318, 322,352,356,359, 
361, 362, 365, 385, 407, 429, 434, in 
good condition only. — H. G. Knaggs, 1, 
Maldon Place, Camden Town, N. iV. ; 
August 10. 
Nothris Verbascella. — We have at last 
taken the lame of this insect in abun- 
dance. More than a hundred are now in 
our possession. We shall be very glad 
to exchange the pupse for any local 
species. — W. H. Tillett, Jas. Reeve, 
Chas. Clowes. All letters to be ad- 
dressed — W. H. Tillett, Norwich. 
Lepidoplera in Lincolnshire. — During 
a recent visit to the Lincolnshire Coast, 
I took the following Bombycina and 
Noctuina among a host of others; I never 
before saw Noctuina so abundant at 
sugar. —
