STRIPED HAWK-MOTH AT BELFAST.

On 6th June there was brought to me a fine specimen of Striped Hawk

Moth, Deilephila livornica Esp. It was taken the previous day in the

garden of Mr. S. E. Thompson, Edenderry House, Woodvale Road, and

when jfound by the gardener was resting on a hedge. The only previous records of this moth in Belfast was the capture of two specimens in Ormeau

Park, -in June, 1888, by Mr. Charles Watts, while the only other record in

'Northern Ireland was one 'reported from Derry on 5th June, 1906, by Mr.

D. C. Campbell, Irish Naturalist, vol. 15, p. 191. Every year this species arrives in Europe from north Africa, and some of them wander as far as

England and southern Sweden. W. M. CRAWFORD.

Orissa, Marlborough Park, Belfast.

A MIGRATION OF LEPIDOPTERA.

Since 4th June I have noticed the following migratory species in this

neighbourhood, in varying numbers. Moths?M. sttllatarum (Humming Bird Hawk), D. livomica (Striped Hawk); butterflies?V. atalanta (Red

Admiral), and V. cardui, (Painted Lady). It would be interesting for

observers to note whether larvae of D. livomica occur later on, and whether

the moth itself will be seen again towards autumn.
