Lepidoptera.— Vanessa C. album .—I observed this insect here on April 
22, this year, for the first time since October, 1816, when, and prior, it was always 
in great profusion in the autumn. 
Thecla pruni .—I found at Monk’s Wood, Huntingdonshire, as, also, 
Theda W. album , in a wood at the same place, separated merely by a turn¬ 
pike road from the former, but each seemed confined to its own wood. 
Lycaena Corydon.- —I took this insect last year, on a heath in the New 
Forest. 
Lyccena agestis. —I took a specimen of the variety of this insect, which re¬ 
sembles the L. salmads , on the 5th of August, near Lyme Regis, where Messrs. 
Queckett and Paul took two others, also, in the beginning of August: all three 
were females. 
Acherontia atropos —I am informed by Mr. B. Morris, that he found, in 
September, 1835, at Charmouth, a larva of this insect, similar to the figure of it 
in Fuessly’s Archives , and like the one observed by Captain Blomer, which I 
mentioned in my paper, in the 1st number of the present publication.* 
Agrotis nebulosa .—But two or three specimens of this insect were known 
until captured this season by Mr. Raddon, on the Burrows of Appledore, Devon¬ 
shire. 
Catocola promissa.— I found the wings of this insect at Glanvilles Wootton, 
on the 13th of July, this year, and this is the first indication I have observed of 
its existence here. 
Catocola Fraxini. —I possess a specimen of this which was taken at Cran- 
borne, Dorsetshire, about fifty or sixty years ago. 
Charissa pullaria. —On the 5th of August, this year, I took this insect, both 
typical and varying from dull white to a pale black, and so much resembling a 
variety of C. obscuraria , that I feel convinced these, as well as the C. dilucida- 
ria and C. serotinaria are all varieties of one and the same species. 
Siona dealbata. —On the 27th and 29th of June of the present year, I took 
a couple of specimens at the Caundle Holts, and it was taken at Langport, in 
abundance, by Messrs. Queckett, Paul, and Serrell. 
Scopula ferr ugalis .—I took on the 2nd and 8th of November, 1828. The 
late Captain Blomer found it, also, in November : but Samouelle gives June as 
the time of its appearance. 
Scopula longipedalis .—The late Captain Blomer took this at Teignmouth, 
Devon; and I have taken lately a couple of specimens at Lulworth and Torquay. 
place for forming its nest—such as the shell of a Snail. We also know that this species 
will form its cells amongst heaps of Oyster-shells or accumulations of garden rubbish. 
Hobineau Desvoidy, and other French Entomologists, have observed similar habits in spe¬ 
cies of Osmia , whence one is named Osmia helices. — Eds. 
* This is a variety produced, probably, by disease, or the infestation of a Troyus _Eds.
