Yellow was captured in Lincolnshire: 
I have been an entomologist about eight 
years, and I never saw it before. I 
have only seen one Apatura Iris, which 
I captured, but it is not a good one. I 
have also captured a fine specimen of the 
Camberwell Beauty ; I captured it in 
VV’^estgate, opposite the church, on the 
2 1 St of September ; an account of it was 
published in the ‘ Lincolnshire Chronicle’ 
of last week. — F. Clayion, Westgate, 
Louth ; Sept. 27. 
Singular if true. — A. most splendid 
larva of the scarce Swallow-tail was found 
in the neighbourhood of Deal, and is 
now in the possession of G. Wilks, jun.. 
Esq., of this place. — A. Russell, Ash- 
ford ; Oct. 8. 
Coleophora paripennella. — I took five of 
this larva off bramble in the Lea Bridge 
Road, on the 24th inst. — Chas. Healy, 
4, Bath Place, li aggers tone ; Oct. 27. 
Coleophora albitarsella. — I took two 
dozen of this larva at the same time and 
place as the above. — I bid. 
Coleophora ccespititiella. — These larvm 
are iu great abundance at Snaresbrook, 
on the heads of young rushes, often as 
many as five or six on one head. — Ibid. 
Pterophorus Loewii. — Two specimens 
only have been taken this year: I took 
them on the wing at dusk, in the swamp 
at Crosby, whilst looking for P. Angus- 
tata. — C. iS. Guegson. 
COLI:OPTEBA. 
Wimbledon. — Since my last I have 
taken the following Coleoptera here : — 
Synuchus vivalis, 
Pterostichus minor, 
„ vernalis, 
Ocypus compressus, 
Lathrobiurn terininale, 
„ brunnipes, 
Cryptobium fracticorue, 
Slenus providus, 
Hy di oporus 1 2-pustulatus. 
— E. C. Rye, 284, King’s Road, Chelsea, 
S.IK.; Oct. 14. 
Bembidium pallipes. — My last addition 
to the Coleopterous Fauna of this district 
is Bembidium pallipes, having taken five 
specimens on Crosby sand hills, near the 
swamp, in tufts of grass. — C. S.Gregson ; 
October 16. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Colias Edusa in Argyle. — As the most 
northern point in Britain where this spe- 
cies has been seen, perhaps it may be 
worth recording that a specimen was 
taken near Dunoon, by Mr. Charles 
Manners, on September 7th. Dunoon 
is ten miles north of Largs, in Ayrshire, 
at which latter place one was taken in 
1852. — T. Chapman, Glasgow; Oct. 22. 
Barren Females of A. Atropos. — With 
respect to Acherontia Atropos, three fe- 
males out of five were imperfect, and 
wishing, if possible, to turn them to some 
account, I tried to breed from them, but 
could not succeed, although I kept them 
in company with a fine heallhy male for 
a week, when, out of curiosity, I dis- 
sected a female which died, and, to my 
surprise, there was not the slightest trace 
of ova to be found either in that one or 
the others. — G. Keen, 1, Manor Place, 
Walworth Road, Surrey ; Oct. 25. 
Acherontia Atropos. — Of this insect I 
have bred twenty-six specimens, but 
although some are extremely large, on 
opening for stuffing 1 have not found any 
eggs, iherefore suppose they must be all 
males. I have also had some brought to 
me, but they have turued out the same. — 
A. Russell, Ashford; Oct. 8. 
A neiv Nepticula. — There is a species 
of Nepticula now in the larva state in 
apple-leaves, which I have repeatedly 
met with and reared. It does not seem 
to be as yet described ; a brief account of 
it may therefore be interesting, and I 
would propose the name Pomella. The 
egg is deposited on the under side of
