56 OBSERVATIONS OX BRITISH TINEINA. 



I each took a specimen in Headley Lane, the beginning of 

 August last. At the same time I found two young larva.- 

 feeding on Centaurea nigra. 



Coleophora saturatella, I. B., p. 216. Hen* Schmid finds 

 the larva of this insect at the beginning of July, on broom, 

 (Spartium scoparium.) 



Coleophora therinella, I. B., p. 217. I took a specimen 

 of this at West Wickham, July 5th. 



Coleophora juncicolella, I. B., p. 220. I met with several 

 of this among the heath at West Wickham, July 5th ; I had 

 previously learnt from Herr Schmid (who knew it under 

 the name of Infant? lella). that the larva feeds on heather 

 (Calluna vulgaris) in the spring, up to May, feeding on 

 the voun£ shoots, in a small case which looks like small 

 heath-leaves, and is therefore very difficult to detect unless 

 it assumes a direction contrary to the growth of the shoot. 



Bedellia somnulentella, I. B., p. 226. This has again 

 occurred in considerable plenty ; at Bideford hardly a single 

 plant of Convolvulus was unmarked by the larva. 



Chauliodus Illigerellus, I. B., p. 234. Herr Krosmann 

 introduced me to the larvae of this species at Hanover, and 

 I improved my acquaintance with it in the beech forest at 

 Hokendorf, near Stettin ; it feeds towards the end of May 

 on JEgopodium podragraria. drawing the leaves together 

 by its webs ; it is a sticky-looking semi-transparent larva, 

 like that of C. Cheer 'ophyllellus, but it is solitary in its habits, 

 rarely more than one occurring on a leaf stem ; it likes moist 

 places in woods. 



Laverna lacteella, I. B., p. 236. Herr Schmid informs 

 me, that the larva feeds on Epilobium hirsutum, 



Laverna atra, I. B., p. 239. Herr Grabow has also bred 

 the dark variety from apple (see Ent. Ann. 1855, 1st Edit. 

 p. 55 ; 2nd Edit. p. 77), and entirely confirms Mr. E. 

 Brown's account of its habits. The typical insect has been
