flew out in the most distracting abun- 
dance. I caught a great number, all of 
which were exactly alike, — no inter- 
mediates between that and Pullaria. In- 
deed, I have generally considered Ob- 
scuraria to be a heath insect. Pullaria 
I have usually met with in stone quarries 
and chalk pits. Near Bath it is not at 
all uncommon in the large free-stone 
quarries, and among the Bath Hampton 
Rocks, also in Portland, and is quite 
common in the chalk pits on the 
South Downs near Lewes and Brighton. 
Neither occur in this part of England. —

Gnophos Pullaria. — The larva of this 
species hybernates about half fed ; it 
begins to feed again in April. I found 
two some years since near Matlock ; 
they fed up upon the salad burnet (Pole- 
rium sanguisorba, L.), and from one of 
them I bred the perfect insect. They 
closely resembled Hiihner’s figure of the 
larva of G. obscuraria. I found them by 
pulling up the grass and low-growing 
plants by the roots. The larva conceals 
itself by day. There was a great deal of 
Helianthemum vulgare intermingled with 
the Poterium sanguisorba in the locality 
where I found them. — Rev. H. Harpur 
Cbewe, Slowmarket ; Feb. 20. 
Cheimatobia Filigrammaria. — I have 
a number of good specimens of C. Fili- 
grammaria, and should be happy to ex- 
change them for any of the following 
species numbered from the ‘ Manual:’ — 
I 1, 19, 20, 31, 38, 39, 42, 43, 44, 50, 53, 
58, 59, 62, 63, 66, 69, 70, 78, 1 66. Ap- 
plicants had better write first and say 
how many they want and what they 
have to spare. — Henry Stephenson, 
39, Charley Street, Bolton ; Feb. 18. 
Captures near Wandsworth . — 
Colias Hyale. One on Wimbledon 
Common. By a mistake I recorded the 
capture of Edusa instead of Hyale in the 
‘Intelligencer,’ vol. ii. p. 170; I there- 
fore take this opportunity of correcting 
the error. Edusa is occasionally taken 
here, but I have never heard of Hyale 
having been taken before.
