ENIGMAS STILL UNANSWERED. 



5. " Nepticula larvae, in leaves of Potentilla fragarias- 

 trum." I believe Professor Frey has met with this larva 

 near Zurich, and has them now in cocoon. 



6. " Gelechia ? larvas, folding up the leaves of Lathyrus 

 pratensis and Vicia Sepium." Again found this autumn ; 

 Herr Schmid has also met with it at Frankfort, whilst col- 

 lectin^ mines of Lithocolletis Brennella. 



7. " A Gelechia ? larva on oak, forming an entire leaf into 

 a vaulted chamber." Is not this Anchyopera subuncana? 



8. " On apple, a new Nep. larva, greenish, with dark 

 greenish dorsal line, mining a gallery: found also rather 

 commonly on hawthorn leaves." None have yet been reared, 

 and this autumn it has escaped me. 



10. A Nepticula larva, making brown blotches in birch 

 leaves." I have received a few larvae this autumn from 

 Mr. T. Wilkinson, of Scarborough. 



11. " An Elachista larva, found by Mr. Scott at the end 

 of April, mining in leaves of Scirpus lacustris." Has not 

 again been met with. 



16. "A Nepticula larva, found by Mr. Scott, making 

 blotches in the leaves of Lotus corfdculatus." I found this 

 larva in leaves of Lotus major, at Headley Lane, August 

 4th, but did not succeed in rearing them. Professor Frey 

 also finds it near Zurich, and has now about twenty in 

 cocoon.
