Insects.

Stauropus Fagi. See 'Zoologist' (Zool. 1043).

The following have occurred in my own garden:—

Anacampsis alhimaculea. Fruit trees, June.

Anacampsis Listerella. Flpwers of valerian, June, rare.

Capture of Lepidopterous Insects at Arundel, Sussex.—In the 'Entomologist' (Entom. 223), I recorded the capture of some rare Coleoptera in the neighbourhood of Arundel. I now send a list of the Lepidoptera which have occurred there within the last eight or nine years. I regret to say that I fear I shall have little opportunity of further investigating this interesting locality, as my friends are about leaving the neigh- bourhood.

Hipparchia Semele. On the downs and the sea-coast, July and August.
