myself, would like them, I should be very

— H. W. Battersby, Oakjield, Torquay ; 
July 6. 
Captures near Reading. — Stilpnotia 
Salicis iu numbers, but only in one lane 
hedged with willows ; P. Alsus, P. Syl- 
vanus, Linea, See . — B. H. Powell, 6, 
Stanhope St., Hyde Park Gardens, W. ; 
July 4. 
Heterogenea Asellus. — I have taken two 
specimens in Eppiug Forest, between 
Epping and Loughton, nearly opposite 
ilie Wake’s Arms Inn. — B. Pill a an, 
White Swan, Epping ; July 7. 
Stilpnotia Salicis. — Taking an ento- 
mological stroll yesterday through Bat- 
tersea Fields, I was surprised to notice 
the devastation amongst a row of ten or 
twelve willows, caused by the larv® of 
Stilpnotia Salicis. The trees are much 
stripped by the larva? feeding on the 
leaves, and on every branch you may 
count ten to thirty of the cocoons, four 
or five leaves being drawn round each 
cocoon. The larva? crawl about this row 
of trees by hundreds, the cocoons are as 
numerous, and the perfect insects are to 
be seen in equal numbers. — Herbert 
Gibbs, 20, Robert Street, Chelsea, S. W. ; 
July 6. 
Zeuzera JEsculi. — A tolerably fine 
female specimen of this insect was taken 
on some palings near here, a few days 
ago, by a friend of mine. — A. P., Harrow ; 
July 0. 
Melilcea Artemis at Knutsford. — 
Hearing M. Artemis was to be taken at 
Knutsford, I and my brother went there 
on the 21st of June; but, owing to its 
flight being nearly over, and it being 
late in the day when we arrived there, 
we only took ten specimens, which were 
not good ones. We also took the fol- 
lowing insects at the same place: — 
P. Sylvanus, P. Stances, A. Lonicerat, 
E. glyphica . — Thomas Harrison, 48, 
Rochdale Road, Manchester ; July 6. 
Captures in the Isle of Wight.— I have 
lately taken Arge Galathea, M. Cinxia, 
P. patpina, Rolys lancealis, See. — J. 
Pristo, Alverslone, Whippinyharn, Isle of 
Wight ; July 6. 
Polia Dysodea. — I have again this 
season been successful in capturing above 
thirty specimens of this very pretty moth, 
hovering over the flowers of the garden 
Valerian: their hours of flight appear to 
be from 9 to 1 1 , after which time I have 
not met with any ; neither will they come 
to sugar, which I have placed upon a 
portion of the plant, while they freely rest 
and suck the saccharine from those which 
have not been sweetened. — G. Purnell, 
8, Amelia Place, Villa Road, Piurnstead, 
Kent ; July 7. 
Captures near Manchester . — I have 
captured a number] of Saperda Scalaris 
(Col.), which I should feel happy to ex- 
change; I have also duplicates of C. 
Davus, A. Lonicerce and other Lepi- 
doptera, a list of which I should be happy 
to furnish to any applicant. — Thomas 
Kelsall, 21, Franchise Terrace, Pen- 
dleton, near Manchester ; July 8. 
Captures near Perth . — I have lately 
taken A. Selene, P. Artaxerxes, E. Rus- 
sula, N. Plantaginis, II. Contigua, P. Iota, 
E. glyphica, P. JEnca and M. ChcEro- 
phyllata. I have duplicates of all these 
except Russula and Contigua, which I 
shall be happy to spare: perhaps, in re- 
turn, I could be supplied with specimens 
of A. Crutcegi, L. Sinapis, A. Trifolii, or 
any of the Sesiidce . — F. B. W. White, 
A thole Place, Perth; July 9. 
Bradyepeies Amataria . — I captured five 
specimens of the Blood-vciu, on the 2nd 
inst., in a lane near here. — G. W. Reeve, 
Anderson Place, Hounslow, W.; July 10. 
“ Sweet Williams” attractive to the 
Plusidce. — During the last few evenings, 
on the above flowers in my garden, I 
have taken Plusia Chrysilis, Bractea, 
Festuca, Iota, Pulchrina and Gamma. — 
R. S. Edleston, Bowdon ; July 10.
