production of the ‘ Manual.’

CAPTURES. 
Coleoi'tera. 
Under the Willow-barJc . — The extraor- 
dinary forwardness of plants and animals 
is a very noticeable feature of the present 
remarkable season. In the pursuit of 
insects, I have met with more than usual 
success at so early a period of the year, 
and annex a list of captures, the result 
of three days’ work in the early part of 
the present month, under the bark of old 
pollard willows, which abound in the low- 
lands bordering the Severn in this dis- 
trict.

Oodes helopioides and Anobium perlinax 
are good captures, 'riiere is no doubt 
about the latter, which agrees in every 
particular with the figure and description 
in Curtis. It may not be out of place 
liere to add, that I took the pretty little 
bee Anthophora retusa, on tbe 2nd of 
this month, a full month earlier than 
I have ever met with it here before. —

OBSERVATIONS. 
Achcrontia Alropos bred this Spring . — 
About two months ago I took a few 
pupre of A. Alropos near Leicester, and
