Abundance of Sawfly larvae.— Mr. C. P. Pickett, Mr. A. W. 
Mera, and Mr. E. Harris, remarked on the great abundance of Sawfly 
larvie noticed this autumn. 
Notes on the Season’s Collecting. —Mr. L. B. Prout gave some 
notes on his collecting experiences during the past season. He said 
that many species, especially those that appeared in late autumn, were 
quite absent, but, on the other hand, some of the commoner species 
had been exceptionally abundant, such were Coenocalpe tersata and 
Melanthia procellata, which had occurred in great profusion in the Isle 
of Wight. Larvie of Eupithecia albipunctata had been very plentiful, 
and he had counted as many as 19 on one single flower spike. Some 
plants seemed especially favoured, though why was not apparent. Mr. 
V. Eric Shaw reported Gortyna fiarago in abundance in burdock stems 
in the Bexley district. The eggs, he said, were laid in the old 
thistle stems, and it was therefore necessary for the larvae to change 
to another plant later on.
