THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
after it I rushed; but the yellow beauty 
kept oil its way, without deiguing to come 
to earth, and after tantalizing me for 
some time disappeared over some trees 
towards the fields. You may imagine 
how I hunted about to obtain a glimpse 
of another, but all in vain. I then 
thought there must surely be some clover 
near, and set off to look. On nearing 
the border of the wood (there was a strong 
breeze) I smelt clover, and sure enough 
there were two large fields; plenty of 
Atalanta, Coppers, &c., but, alas! no 
Edusa ; however, I shall be at it again, 
and hope I may yet live to tell of an- 
other Perthshire Edusa. — Fuancis B. W. 
M’hite, Athole Place, Perth; Sept, 16. 
Edusa, Stellatarum and Atropos at 
Netvark . — Culias Edusa has frequently 
been seen in clover-fields and on road- 
sides ; some dozen or fourteen have been 
captured in this parish ; I am not aware 
that it has been taken here on any former 
occasion. Maeroglossa Stellatarum may 
be seen quite common in every flower- 
garden throughout the day. From sixty 
to seventy larvae and pup® of Aeherontia 
Atropos have been taken, a satisfactory 
proportion of which are ensconced iii my 
rearing-cages: potato gathering is at its 
height, and the pup® continue to come 
in daily: we have, at this moment, the 
insect alive in three stages, namely, larva, 
pupa and imago, three of the latter having 
just emerged: on being “poked” they 
run off, uttering a succession of squeaks, 
resembling those of a bat when disturbed.

Edusa in Lincolnshire. — If you are 
not quite tired of chronicling captures of 
C'olias Edusa, I have just heard of its 
being taken on the Wolds of Lincoln- 
shire, which I never remember to have 
heard of before. — A. M. Ai.inoton, 
J.liri/uijvern, Machynlleth, North Wales;

Theela Uelultc. — 'I’his is a |irctty good 
l(tc.ilily Ibr T. Helultv, hut the incessant 
lain last month ])icvcnted my looking 
for them while fresh from the chrysalis. 
Consequently when (on Wednesday last) 
I took four or five, they were very much 
w’oru. There were several about the tops 
of the trees, but they wouldn’t come down 
to be boxed. — Inin. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — I had the plea- 
sure of receiving a good living specimen 
of this insect this morning, from a boy 
who captured it close by here, about a 
quarter of an hour previously. A few 
drops of methylated chloroform killed it 
almost instantaneously. — R. W. Wkioht, 
4, Gloucester Terr ace, Victoria Park Road, 
N.E. ; Sept. 20. 
Aeherontia Atropos. — On the 15th of 
this month I bred a fine specimen of this 
insect, from pupa taken at Woodford, 
about the middle of August. — J. P. 
Thomas, 2, Catharine Street, Strand, 
London, W.C.; Sept. 16. 
A pick up. — I picked up a fine male 
specimen of Ayrotis Satteia off' the pave- 
ment opposite Camberwell Park : as it 
was near a door, and, from the appear- 
ance of its body, I presume it must have 
had a slight squeeze. — F. O. Stan dish, 
2, Alfred Cottages, iVarner Road, Cam- 
hertvell ; Sept. 1 1 . 
Lithocolletis sylvella. — It is but a few 
days since I bred this pretty species from 
maple mines, which must be the second 
brood ; and from the number of mines 
collected, most of which contiiiued an 
empty pupa, it must be a common 
species near here. — Ibid. 
A Trip to Sherwood Forest. — I and 
Mr. T. Grace went to the above forest 
on the 4th inst., and remained until the 
lull inst. Wc sugared each night, and 
were very successful. Wc were domiciled 
at Edwinstowc, a very pleasant little vil- 
lage, aliout half-a-mile from the forest. 
AVc had llic pleasure of capturing the 
following insects: — 
V. Antiopa (I), 
C. Dilnia (.O), 
Graminis (common),
