Lepidopteba. 
Captures in Cumberland. — When 
at Keswick, in November last, my 
brother, who resides there, told me 
that he had some very large speci- 
mens of C. Brumata upon the setting 
board. On seeing them I at once 
recognised them as being Boreata. 
They were flying at the same time as, 
and along with C. Brumata. — the last 
named insect being in profusion. As 
many as a hundred specimens might 
have been taken from a single tree. 
II. Defoliaria has also been in pro- 
fusion for the last month. [Is this 
correct?] This species seems to be 
subject to great variation. II. Leu- 
cophearia has been out for the last 
fortnight. I have also seen a single 
specimen of A. JEscularia. G.

Mildness of the season. Yesterday, 
in my rambles, I met with a specimen 
of P. Raprn just emerged from the 
chrysalis. R. P. Harvie, 8 Keppel

Doings in Gloucestershire. While 
spending a few weeks at Christmas 
time at Williamstrip Park near Fain- 
ford, in Gloucestershire, I amused 
myself by searching for hybernating 
insects. 
Though I beat a great variety of 
cover I only found two places produc- 
tive, — the first, a row of Spruce Fir 
trees with very thick branches, — the 
other, a single oak tree covered with 
excrescences on which grew a large 
crop of twigs. These had caught a 
quantity of dead leaves and sticks, 
and formed an admirable shelter for 
insects. 
On the spruce Fir branches I took, 
by beating them into an open um- 
brella, Zelleria Hepariella, Gracillaria 
Stigmatella and Semifascia, Coriscium 
Sulphur ipennellum, Chauliodus Chce- 
rophyllellus, and Pterophorus Pter- 
odactylus. 
In the rubbish on the trunk of the 
oak tree I got, — Depressaria Arenella 
Propinquella, Teatiana and Applana 
of course, Cerostoma Radi'atella, Ac- 
rolcpia Pygmccella (common) Gra- 
cillaria JElongella, and Coriscium
