THE ENTOLOMOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCEE. 
196 
April 15. E. Cervinala. Larvae emerged 
Iroin the eggs. 
June 2. H. W-lalinum (4). At sugar ; 
rare here. 
June 1 and 4. S. Bombiliformis (7), 
,, S. Clatharata (13). 
„ M. Artemis (18). 
June 9. T.Extersaria(l). Beating; rare 
here. 
„ E. Adversaria (1). Do. 
June 10. L. Sinapis (2). 
„ C. Silaceata (4). Beating. 
June 11. B. Hyalinalis (6). Do. The 
only specimens, I believe, that were 
ever captured in this county; they 
were all smaller than the more southern 
ones. 
June 11 & 15. C. Porcellus (3). At rest, 
apparently just emerged from the 
pupa:. 
J une 9. E. Heparata (4). The last I took 
upon the 12th of July, hut quite per- 
fect. 
June 9 & 12. Z. Albicillata (6). All very 
fine and perfect. 
June 18. C. Quadrifasciaria (3). Beating; 
rare here. 
June 18 & 21. E. Unclularia (2). Do. 
June 21. B. Lancealis (1). From all that 
I can ascertain this is the only speci- 
men of this species that has ever been 
taken in this county, thus adding ano- 
ther locality (Shrawley Wood) for this 
local species. 
June 21. A. Ulmata (7). Beating. 
„ G. Papilionaria (1). Bred from 
the larva. 
„ C. Elpenor (1). At rest. 
June 22. A. Blomeri (1). On the wing 
at night. 
June 24. C. Ocularis (1). At sugar. 
June 24 to 30. T. Batis (15). Do. 
„ T. Derasa (17). Do. 
,, A. Luteata (5). Beating. 
June 26. L. Testudo (1). Do. 
June26&28. P. Bajularia (25). Do. At 
the edge ofnight, at the Trench Woods. 
Mr. E. Smith was with me, and cap- 
tured more than I did. Unfortunately 
we were too late; they were rather 
worn, yet we obtained a few tolerably 
good ones. We had been beating the 
wood over nearly all day, but not one 
P. Bajularia was started out by either 
of us ; but when night drew on, out 
they came, and we had some active 
work before us; they flew rather high, 
so that we had often to spring up 
heavenward after them, from a road 
particularly rough and full of deep 
wheel-ruts. Mr. Smith contrived to 
step into one that was rather bounti- 
fully supplied with water, but as the 
day had been hot the effect was merely 
a cooling sensation, and the annexa- 
tion of a little “ clear grit ” to the 
nether garments. Genuine entomolo- 
gists think nothing of a sousing occa- 
sionally, especially when such prime 
things as P. Bajularia are dashing 
along high over head. After capturing 
other species until half-past 10 o’clock, 
we started off for Worcester and our 
homes, rather more than six miles 
distant, quite satisfied with our suc- 
cess, after so many hours’ fagging and 
fighting at the bushes. However, on 
our way we resolved to have another 
attack at the Bajularia;, and after the 
lapse of one day, returned to the wood 
and the wheel-ruts with undimished 
ardour. The day was hot, and so 
were we, but our energies were hotter 
still. We poked and fought our way 
through bush and brake nearly the 
whole of the day, and obtained little 
else excepting P. Tutnidana. Not a 
single P. Bajularia could we induce 
to take wing, and therefore we were the 
more determined to punish them a little 
in the cool of the evening, which we 
did, in spite of wheel-ruts, water and 
wet legs, and then made the best of 
our journey to the “ faithful city.” Mr. 
Smith, not being fully satisfied with 
his adventures by land and water, took 
a third trip the following day alone, 
and thus secured a few more. Only
