OQ [September, 
son is inclined to think there is a second brood towards the end of 
August and beginning of September, but not nearly so numerous aa in 
May, and rarely met with except by beating." 
Herr Glitz informed me that the larvae fed on the leaves of the 
lime ; when young- they are miners, but when about half-grown, they 
come out of the mines and gnaw the under-side of the leaf. There are 
two broods in the year. 
OlypMpteryx Haworthana.—Mv. Barrett has met with this species 
near Haslemere, and Professor Zeller, who had not previously seen it 
alive, found it in a marshy place near Meseritz, where he also obtained 
Cramhus alienellus (Stettin Ent. Zeitung, 1865, p. 41). 
Antispila Pfeifferella. — It appears from Mr. Healy's observations 
that the larva of this species buries itself and its case underground ; 
all the larvae retiring beneath the sand at the bottom of the jar in 
which the larvae were. Mr. Healey adds (23/11/64) "They took their 
cases with them, and then turned to pupae ; I cannot state how it was 
effected, never having caught them in the act. That a case-bearing 
larva can take its case underground I have had proof of in Adela De- 
geerella, for three full fed larvae of that species having disappeared 
mysteriously in a jar, where I had placed them on some mould, I turned 
the earth over, and found one larvae just under the surface, another 
about the centre, and the third had actually penetrated to the bottom 
of the jar." (See Zoologist, p. 9065). 
Mr. Healy, who bred hundi*eds of the closely allied Antispila 
TreitscMcella, remarked, that none of the larvae of that species went 
beneath the surface of the mould. 
Gracilaria falconipennella. — This insect has always hitherto re- 
mained a great rarity in this country ; but last autumn Mr. Barrett had 
the good fortune to obtain three specimens by beating thatch at Hasle- 
mere. From his known perseverance and skill, I have no doubt he will 
soon find the larva. 
Gracilaria elongella. — When I visited, with Dr. Jordan, the Lickey 
Hills, near Birmingham, last September, we met with several Gracilaria 
cones on the leaves of the birch, from which specimens of G. elonr/clla 
made their appearance. This food for the larvae of this species had 
already been noticed by Mr. E. C. Buxton (Ent. Annual, 1856, p. 55). 
Ornix larvae on Fyrus torminalis. — In the autumn of 1864, Mr. 
Healy discovered two cones of an Ornix on a tree of Fyrus torminalis 
growing in Epping Eorest. In September, 1865, Dr. Jordan, whilst
