Caterpillar whitish, with tiie lieail and tail brownish : it feeds on the inner sub- 

 stance of apple-trees, and, according to Hiibner, on the SuUx alba. 

 Decidedly rather uncommon, and evidently very local : it is taken 

 in several places near the metropolis towards the middle of June. 

 " I bred several specimens from an apple-tree growing at Little 

 Chelsea, and have obtained the insect from Ireland."— iV. A. Viffor.s, 

 Esq. " From Lincolnshire/'— J. H. Davis, Esq. " Near Lime- 

 house." — Mr. Stone.

Page 6. Pai'ilio Machaon. " Plentiful throughout the fens between Ely and 

 Cambridge. The first brood appears about the 3d, occasionally in the 2d, 

 week of May; the second about the middle of July. I have several times 

 found the larvfP, always on the marsh-milk parsley (Selinum jxilustrej, which 

 is undoubtedly the plant to which they are most attached, though in confine- 

 ment they will feed readily on several other species of the UmbellatiE." — Rev. 

 L. Jenyns. — I am informed by a lady residing at Deal, that this beautiful 

 insect was taken last July in the larva state, on a carrot, near that town, and 

 reared by her to the imago. 



Page 6. Papii.io Podalirius. In the fourth part of Lepidoptera Britannica, 

 p. 588, Mr. Haworth alludes to the capture of this insect in the New-forest, 

 as announced by my friend, Mr. Ingpen, in his very useful instructions for 

 collecting insects ; a fact that I did not state in the above page, as there aj»- 

 peared considerable mystery in the account which time has not yet cleared 

 up. With respect to the other capture referred to by .Mr. Haworth, the Rev. 

 F. W. Hope, in a letter to me, says, " I have one specimen of Pa. Poda- 

 lirius in my possession unset, and taken at Netley." Mr. J. O. Backhouse 

 informed me that a resident of Newcastle has in his possession two specimens 

 of this insect which he caught in a wood near Oxford ; but from a more recent 

 communication his account throws the usual suspicion on their authenticity.
