Mr. Dobree suggests the possibility of Cucullia scrophularice. being 
specifically identical with C. lychnitis. .3, 
Dr. Mason records {E.M.M., 163) as existing in the collection of 
the late Mr. Edwin Brown, received from Carter, of Manchester, a 
specimen of Plusia bimaculata of Stephens ; this has proved identical 
with P. verticillata, Guen. d’he only other record of the capture in 
England besides this specimen and the Stephensian type (the where- 
abouts of which appears to be unknown) is by Mr. H. P. Robinson of 
Tunbridge Wells, in May, 1870 (E.M.M., vii., p. 138). 
Mr. Bird records cases of Coleophora vibicigerella from the Essex 
saltmarshes, and I understand that Mr. Elisha has discovered cases of 
the rare C. chalcogratntnella from Scarborough.
