OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 105 



this spring by Hen* Schmid, from the larva? collected in 

 March, 1856, thus implying that the insect takes two years 

 to complete its transformations. 



Adda viridella, I. B., p. 50. I have this year observed 

 the females apparently in the act of depositing their eggs on 

 the midrib of oak leaves. I could not, however, meet with 

 the eggs. 



Nemotois Scabiosellus, I. B., p. 52. The females of this 

 species have again been detected ovipositing in the flowers of 

 Scabiosa arvensis, and the eggs have been found by Mr. 

 Bond. 



Nemotois fa sci ell us , I. B., p. 52. Mr. Douglas met with 

 two specimens at Darenth, July 14th, on the flowers of a 

 dwarf umbelliferous plant (Int. ii. 132). 



Swammerdamia apicella, I. B., p. 55. Mr. Law has 

 bred this from a larva found in August on plum (Int. ii. 

 77). 



Swammerdamia griseocapitdla, I. B., p. 56. Mr. Par- 

 fitt has bred something very like this from a larva on plum, 

 very different to that of the birch-feeding gri&eocapitella. 



Hyponomeuta vigintipunctatus, I. B., p. 59. This has 

 been bred in some plenty by the Rev. P. H. Newnham, 

 from the larvae he collected last autumn and this summer. 



Anesychia funerella, I. B., p. 63. I have received the 

 larvae of this species from Mr. T. Brown, who found them 

 near Cambridge feeding on Comfrey at the beginning of 

 August. 



Plutella Dalella, I. B., p. 69. Dr. Staudinger found 

 the larva in Iceland on Arabis petr&a at the end of June. 

 The cocoon is of open net work, similar to that of P.porrec- 

 tella. 



P. Annidatella, I. B., p. 68. I have received from Mr.
