134 NEW ENIGMAS FOR SOLUTION. 



some years ago in Devonshire, and last year Mr. Parfitt 

 found it; this autumn it was sent me from Reigate by 

 Mr. Jeffrey. 



28. A Coleophora larva with a case similar to that of 

 limosipennella, feeding on birch. I have found this at 

 Lewisham, and have also received it from Mr. Tress Beale 

 at Tenterden, and Mr. Weir at Pembury. 



29. A Coleophora larva with a case similar to that o 

 siccifolia, feeding on birch. This I also received from Mr. 

 Tress Beale at Tenterden. 



The following have not yet been found in this 

 country, but are still unsolved problems in 

 natural science. 



30. An Adela ? larva in a flattish case formed of pieces 

 successively added at one end. These were found by Herr 

 Schmid at Frankfort, in March and April, and fed indiffer- 

 ently on sloe, chickweed, or almost any thing green. They 

 climbed up the twigs of sloe I gave them, without difficulty, 

 and nibbled off the just expanding buds. " Can an oyster 

 climb a tree ?" 



31. A Coleophora larva feeding on Vaccinium Myrtillns 

 in a longish slender case somewhat like that of Viminetella, 

 found by Herr Schmid at Frankfort, the middle of October. 

 I believe I found one of the same kind in May, 1855, in the 

 Stadtwald at Glogau ; hence the feeding larvae may be sought 

 for and collected next spring. 



32. A Coleophora larva found by Herr Miihlig feeding 

 on the seeds of Artemisia vulgaris at the end of September ; 

 the case shaped like a withered flower.
