Charles Ellis, British Legation , 
Brussels ; September 12. 
Captures near Hull. — I have collected 
insects upwards of twenty years, and I 
do not recollect a better for rare insects 
than the present. During the above- 
named period I never captured Colias 
Edusa in our neighbourhood until last 
Monday (September 13), when I took 
four good specimens at Hessle, near 
Hull; other specimens have also been 
captured at Paul, near Hull. I had 
promised a brother entomologist, Mr. 
Slather, a specimen of Fraxini (the 
Clifden Nonpareil), which I took to him 
about a week ago, and to my astonish- 
ment he had captured a fine specimen in 
his garden at Hull, which was at the 
time drying on his setting •• board. 
Gryllus Migratorius has been plentifully 
taken near Hull. Two specimens have 
been brought to our Mechanic’s Institute 
alive. Of Sphinx Convolvuli two or 
three specimens have been captured, and 
several larvae of Aclierontia Alropos have 
been found in our neighbourhood. — 
James Young, 11, Bishop Lane, or 
Mechanic’s Institute , George Street , 
Hull; September 16. 
Vanessa Anliopa at Ossett. — A friend 
of mine captured this insect in fine con- 
dition, feasting on a ripe plum in his 
garden ; it is now in my possession. — 
Walter Ulyatt, House of Correction, 
Wakefield; September 13. 
Vanessa Anliopa. — I yesterday had the 
pleasure of seeing a large specimen of 
the above butterfly, which had been 
caught in the Huddersfield Market Place, 
by a boy, about a fortnight ago. Unfor- 
tunately it was not in the best condition. 
— George Tindall, Grove Street, Hud- 
dersfield ; September 15. 
Vanessa Anliopa . — I have great plea- 
sure in announcing the capture of a fine 
specimen of this insect in our garden 
yesterday. Its flight much resembled 
that of Atalanta, and it was by no means 
shy, for although it escaped from the net 
once, and flew high over the wall to a 
considerable distance, it alighted and 
suffered itself to be retaken. We have 
likewise seen C. Cardui in the same 
place, and last month I picked up a fine 
larva of A. Alni, which I fed on Syca- 
more till it burrowed. — Francis Oates, 
St. Anne’s, Barley , Leeds ; September 14. 
Macclesfield Entomological So- 
ciety. — We are requested to announce 
that this Society held its first meeting 
on the 6th of September, at the house of 
James Beresford, Queen’s Arms run, 
Mill Street, Macclesfield, where all com- 
munications respecting such Society are 
to be sent. The members of the Society 
will take great pleasure in receiving any 
information from any entomologist, or 
from any Society, through the medium 
of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ The Society will 
hold its meetings on every alternate 
Monday, at eight o’clock, p.m., com- 
mencing from the 6th of September.
