OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 109 



of this from the blotch miner of the alder leaves (Enigma, 

 No. 2*2), of which I detailed the habit last year in the 

 Annual of 1857, p. 132. Mr. R. Cook and Mr. T. Wil- 

 kinson have collected the larvae freely near Scarborough, at 

 the end of July ; 1 was unsuccessful in my attempts to meet 

 with it near Beckenham this season. 



Argyresthia glaucinella, I. B., p. 185. I have received 

 the larva from Mr. Edleston, who finds them in April, feeding 

 solitarily in the sound bark of oak and horse-chestnut trees, 

 revealing their retreats by protruding a little reddish Jrass 

 from the hole. 



Argyresthia aurulentella, I. B., p. 189. The larva mines 

 the leaves of the juniper at the end of April; it enters from 

 the upper surface and eats out the apical portion of the 

 parenchyma, it then leaves its excrement in the mined leaf, 

 and proceeds to repeat the process in another leaf; it never 

 enters the stem. 



Gracilaria Ononidis, I. B., p. 201. When at Zurich I 

 met with the larva of this species making flat dipterous- 

 looking blotches in the leaves of clover. 



Coriscium Brongniardellum, I. B., p. 202. The larva 

 of this species is excessively abundant on the oaks between 

 Woking and Guildford. 



Coleophora Vibicella, I. B., p. 213. The larva has again 

 been met with in Trench Wood, its old locality, by Mr. 

 Crump. 



Coleophora currucipennella, I. B., p. 215. I met with a 

 single larva of this species on a sallow leaf in Burnt Ash 

 Lane, June 24th. 



Coleophora therinella, I. B., p. 217. A thistle-feeding 

 larva, found this autumn by Mr. Gorham and Mr. Aris, in 

 a long case, somewhat allied to that of C. Troglodytella, 

 will perhaps produce this insect.
