 dition, July 17th : Is not this rather late ? L. turca, next to 

 M. slrigilis, by far the most common insect at sugar. C. Cy- 

 therea, just coming out when I left. A. caliginosa, very 

 common. T. fimbria, a few larvae ; I did not see the imago.

Zeuzera JEsculi. — In the garden here, on the stem of a 

 small Siberian crab-tree is an orifice, from which the frass 

 of some larva is thrown continually : the tree is but about 

 four inches in circumference, the orifice about the size of a 

 cedar-pencil. Will you or some of your correspondents be 

 good enough to say if the insect is likely to be ^sculi, and 

 if its capture in the imago state may be expected to appear 

 this season? — J. A. Tawell ; 3(J, Compton Street, Islingtoti, 

 April 23, 1874. 



[The larva was certainly that of Zeuzera ^sculi ; the 

 moth will come out in June or July. — Edward New)?ian.] 



Is Saturnia Carpini ever Double-brooded ? — I write to you 

 in reference to S. Carpini to ask you if that species is ever 

 double-brooded, and if so whether it is unusual. I find, on 

 referring to Newman's ' British Moths,' it is stated that the 

 cater])illar feeds in August and September, the moth appear- 

 ing the following April. I had some moths of this species 

 last month, from which I obtained eggs about three weeks 

 ago, and some of which have hatched to-day. I may mention 

 that the eggs have been in a room in which a fire has been 

 burning. — G. W. Oldjield ; M'adham College, Oxford, May

[Will correspondents kindly give their experience in this 

 matter ? — Edivard Newman.]
