than a recapitulation of what had already 
appeared in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ and we 
now propose to omit ibis chapter aUo- 
golher. Dr. Hagen’s paper on ihe Phry- 
ganidae is much longer than either of his 
previous contributions.

On the 30th ult. two of the perfect insects 
made their appearance, and two more on 
the 1st inst. — Richard Hobson, Selhy, 
Yorkshire ; Oct. 4. 
Heliothis Armigera.. — On the morning 
of the 29th of September, I was fortunate 
enough to take a specimen of Heliothis 
Armigera, and the capture was in this 
wise. I was out shooting, and crossing 
a meadow, when I observed in the dis- 
tance a light-coloured Noclua, flying low 
and swiftly over the long grass, still 
reeking with the heavy autumnal dew. 
Advancing towards it I at once perceived 
it to be a Heliothis of some sort or other, 
so took off a light cap I had on my head, 
and started on the pursuit. Several times 
the moth seemed about to leave the 
meadow, when I should have lost all 
chance of it ; but after a hot chase I was 
at length able to get near enough to 
strike at it and knock it down with my 
cap. A search of all my pockets pro- 
duced no pill-box, so I emptied a shot- 
charger, and killing the moth which was 
fluttering under my cap, put it in this 
receptacle. My specimen is certainly a 
little damaged in one of the hind wings, 
owing to this rough mode of capture ; 
but, nevertheless, it will be with great 
satisfaction that I shall induct my “ Ar- 
miger ” into the knightly stall which 
awaits him in my cabinet. — Murray A. 
Mathew'S, Raleigh, near Barnstaple; 
October 4.

the 15tb of September I took a fine female 
of this little rarity on an ivy-blossom. 
During the last week 1 have beaten from 
ivy A. Saucia,X. Semibrunnea, and many
