Gastrodes abietis in Morayshire.- — Since the announcement in this Journal (p. 

 175 ante') of my captures at Pitlochry of Gastrodes abietis in the cones of Abies 

 Douglasi, I have tried for the insect here in Morayshire, and have just found four- 

 teen specimens in the fallen cones of Abies excelsa or common Norway spruce. As 

 the insect seems hitherto to have been rare or local in Britain, I give this information 

 in order to direct others to examine the cones during the vi'inter months. For the 

 last three years I have beaten the spruce trees in vain, during the summer mouths 

 for this insect. — Id : 2U7i, December, 1879. 



Imperfect development. — In the January number of the Entomologist's Monthly 

 Magazine, p. 188, is given an instance (probably Orgyia antiqiia ? ) of probable 

 transformation without having passed through the pupa state. The subject 

 seems so extraordinary, and yet so interesting, that the members of this Society 

 would be glad if you could give some further explanation, or, at least, an Editorial 

 opinion. — East London Entomological Society, 333, Mile End Road : D. Peatt, 

 Secretary : January 20tk, 1880. 



[We were not able to examine this specimen critically ; in all probability the 

 larval skin was never thoroughly thrown off. We have seen an almost similar in- 

 stance in Pieris rapce. Many instances of otherwise perfect insects still apparently 

 bearing the larval head have been recorded ; of course these went through the usual 

 pupal change, excepting that, for some reason or other, the larval skin was never 

 entirely discarded. — Eds.].
