ISO 
THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCE!!. 
Cynthia Cardui, 
P. Comma, 
P. Agestis (plentiful), 
and other things, — several good Geo- 
metry amongst them. Hyale is quite as 
frequently seen as Edma; both insects 
are in fine condition. Acting upon a 
hint in the ‘ Manual,’ I have looked out 
closely for Lathonia in and near clover 
fields, of which there are many in this 
vicinity, but hitherto without success. — 
J. It. Hind, Brighton ; August 24. 
Colias Edusa in Scotland. — Yesterday 
forenoon I had the good fortune to cap- 
ture a specimen of C. Edusa. As the 
‘ Manual ’ gives no Scotch localities 
where this butterfly has been taken, I 
presume it is of uncommon occurrence 
on this side of the border. Vanessa lo 
has been abundant in Dumfriesshire and 
Kircudbrightshire this season. L. Algeria 
I have never seen alive, nor have I beard 
of its being taken in this neighbourhood. 
The ‘ Manual’ says it is “ common every- 
where.” — W. S. Thoiiburn, Southerness, 
by Dumfries ; A ugust 25. 
[A Scotch Edusa was recorded in the 
‘Zoologist’ for 1848, p. 1985; it was 
taken “on a steep bank near the sea in 
the neighbourhood of Lamlash, Isle of 
Arran,’’ by Wyville T. C. Thomson, now 
Professor of Natural History at Queen’s 
College, Belfast.] 
Captures near Ilfracombe. — Having 
been stopping at Ilfracombe for four 
weeks, I send a list of some of my prin- 
cipal captures : — 
Thecla Quercus, 
Macroglossa Stellatarum (20 larvae 
feeding on Galium verurn), 
Cbcerocatnpa Porccllus (3 larvae on 
G. verum ), 
„ Elpenor (2 larvae on 
Epi lobium hirsulum), 
Centra furcnla (2 larva) on sallow), 
Scopula etialis (in abundance), 
Triplurna fimbria (at sugar). 
— G. F. Mathews, Billon, near Barn- 
staple ; August 20. 
Colias Hyale. — I have been rather for- 
tunate during the past week with this 
rare butterfly, having captured three fine 
specimens at Forest Hill; a young 
friend also took another at the same time. 
Edusa has not yet appeared there this 
season. — D. T. B. ; August 26. 
A Love of a Swalloio- Prominent . — 
Last night my breeding-cage (which is 
placed in a small green-house) produced 
a female Notodonta diet tea, which I did 
not then disturb. This morning, while 
preparing to administer the acid, my eyes 
alighted on beau Diclcea perched in sus- 
picious proximity to the cage: he had 
doubtless entered the green-house with 
amorous intentions, the door and window 
having been left open during the night: 
the state of his wings show that he made 
great, but useless, exertions to gain 
access to his lady-love. They are now 
both placed within the cage. I hope he 
adopts the maxim “Faint heart.” &e , 
and that his renewed gallant attentions 
to-night will enable me to announce in 
your next number that her ladyship has 
presented me with a goodly batch of eggs. 
I may add that the female is the second 
brood, but more of this anon. — George 
Gascoyne, Newark ; August 25. 
Proeris Glolnilarite . — Having a few 
specimens of this species to spare, I shall 
be glad to send them in return for any of 
the following: —
