segments, between the niedio-dorsfil and sub-dorsal lines, is another series of very 

 blaek streaks, and these, being situated nearer the sub-dorsal region than the edging 

 of the dorsal line, give the dorsal surface a very pretty variegated appearance. The 

 sub-dorsal lines are of a very indistinct pale slate colour ; the spiracnlar lines are scarcely 

 perceptible even with a lens. The ventral surface is of a iniiforni pale slate colour, 

 with a very narrow indistinct paler central line, and equally indistinct transverse 

 waved longitudinal lines. 



This description applies to the two more strongly marked larvce ; in the others, 

 the black markings on the dorsal surface were comparatively indistinct, in one shew- 

 ing only as paler confused marks. W hen nearly ready for spinning up, I had two of 

 them preserved ; the others spun loose cocoons in a corner of the cage, and on the 

 21st July a ? imago emerged. — G-. T. Pokritt, Huddersficld : July Wth, 1874. 



Cravtbus verellus at Folkestone. — On the 22nd ult., whilst collecting at Folke- 

 stone with Mr. C. A. Briggs, I captured a specimen of this insect, evidently fresh 

 from the pupa, as the cilia, &c., were perfect. Subsequent searches failed to produce 

 another specimen. — Walter P. Weston, 1, Duncan Terrace, Islington, N. :

Re-occurrence of Lemiodes pulveralis at Folkestone. — Having captiu'cd a speci- 

 men of L. ■pulveralis in the Warren, at Folkestone, about the beginning of August, 

 I send you an account of it, hoping it may interest some of your readers. — H. Valen- 

 tine Knagos, 72, Kentish Town Eoad : September, 1874. 



Coriscium Bronjniardellum in Ireland. — A few days ago, Mr. P. Riall, of Bray, 

 brought me some oak leaves, both common and evergreen, mined by a larva which 

 Mr. Stainton has kindly identified as that of this species, not previously recorded as 

 a native of Ireland. The mines were very abundant on both kinds of oak. — AV. F. 

 KiBBT, Eoyal Dublin Society, Kildarc Street, Dublin : September 2nd, 187i. 



A further note about Apjhelocheirus CBstivalis {ante p. 92). — I have been out to- 

 day in search of the winged form, but without success. I took in the coiu'se of an 

 hour one hundred and two specimens, eighty full-grown, wingless, and twenty-two 

 larval forms, the smallest of the latter a quarter-of-an-inch long in the body. They 

 appear to be in the middle of the stream, among a broad-leaved species of I'olamo- 

 geton, at least I got only one hei-e and there along the edge of the stream. The place 

 at which they abound is very contracted, not more than four or five yards in length ; 

 above and below that spot they turn up sparingly, but there, at one working of the 

 net, I have had from six to fifteen. — James Landy Brown, Chapelfield, Norwich ;

British Hemiptera : correction. — Der wocoris fornicatus, T)o\ig. & Scott, Brit. 

 Hem., 329, sp. 11. From sonic specimens sent me by the late Mr. T. J. Bold, and 

 taken, I believe, by iVIr. Hardy on or in the neighbourhood of the Cheviots, I have 

 been enabled to satisfy myself that the above insect is merely a northern form of 

 D. striatellus. The series consisted of tlie reddish-yellow typo form, with all inter- 

 mediate varieties, one of which is in my pos.session. It will be neees.sary, therefore, 

 to refer the name as a synonym to I), striatellus. — John Scott, 37, Manor Park, 

 Lee : September 16th, 1874.
