IS 
amongst which one appeared very nearly allied to, if not identical with, C. hybri- 
da. Cicindela Germanica I have found at Black-Gang-Chine, in the Isle of 
Wight, and in great profusion near Charmouth, and Seaton, where I also found 
the larva. It appears from the middle of June to the middle of September, and 
differs from the other Cidndelm in seldom taking wing, and delighting in wet 
places, among reeds, amidst which it runs very fast. It appears to be mostly con¬ 
fined to the coast, but has been found sparingly near Reading and Dartford. Ca¬ 
rdbus purpurascens has been discovered near Weymouth, by Mr. Saunders, about 
1833. Cardbus intricatus: one of these fine insects was caught in Mamhead 
Park, near Dawlish, a few years ago, and two • specimens were taken amongst 
alders, at Shobroke, near Exeter, and are in the cabinet of a person at Taunton. 
Cistela curvipes was found on Lodmoor, near Weymouth, by Mr. Saunders. 
Platypus cylindricus, I took a few of, in the New Forest, on the 3rd of August 
last. Cryptocephalus bilineatus , in plenty near Langport and Carisbroke Castle. 
Anisoplia ruricola has been found abundant in the Devil’s Ditch, and Triplow 
Heath ? and Gog Magog Hills, where I took one, June 26, 1833. It seems 
nearly confined to that part of the kingdom, one only having been found near 
Reading till, I believe, last July 6th, when I was surprized by taking one near Lul- 
worth, when I was in company with Frederick F. Morris, Esq. 
Lepidoptera.— In the British Museum is a curious larva, black, with white 
belts, and a spine on the tail, found on the pine, in Scotland, by Dr. Leach. The 
year 1834 seems to have been very favourable for the appearance of the sphin- 
gidce . Three specimens of Deilephila Livornica were taken near Peterborough, 
July 5, 1834, one of which (all p’s) laid eggs which were hatched and nearly full 
fed; besides a larva taken by a boy near that place and killed, another was taken, 
about the same time, near Worcester. One was found, April the 19th, 1829, 
at Wakering, Essex; and other captures, within a few years, refute the idea of its 
not being British. A very perfect specimen (though faded, from having been 
hung up many years in a glass case, on a wall) is in the cabinet of the Rev. F. O. 
Morris.— Celerio : I have a very fine one, found at Brighton ; others have been 
found at Newcastle, Ramsgate, Worcester, Peterborough, near London, &c.—* 
Achemon , of Drury : Mr. Stothard had one which, he said, he took in his garden, 
in Newman-street, Oxford-street, many years ago.- —Euphorbia: there are two 
unset in the Linnean Cabinet, with a ticket—“ Devon, Dr. Wavell, 1818.”— 
Galii has been found at Bridgewater, Langport, Charmouth, Yarmouth, &c., all 
within these last two or three years : August and September seem to be the sea¬ 
son for it.-^Atropos: August 15, 1825, Captain Blomer found a larva, very 
dark, and similar (?) to Fuesly’s figure, near Bideford ; but the moth did not vary 
when bred.-— Populi: I took a large pale variety of, July 30, 1808, and Captain 
Blomer bred another similar one, July 30, 1825. Those found in June are 
smaller, and darker in colour.
