honev and wax produced in that province is estimated at 

 5,000,000 V— Times, March 28, 1865. 



153. Cryphalus TilicB discovered in Britain. — Turner 

 took eight or ten specimens of this insect in December, 1860, 

 near Bridgnorth, and has recently taken a larger number near 

 Lincoln ; it feeds on the bark of a tree called " bass," and 

 supposed by Dr. Power to be a lime. It is described by 

 Fabricius, S. E., ii. 383; and by Ratzeburg, Forst. i. 164, 

 tab. xii. fig. 20. [See Ent. Mo. Mag. No. 9, p. 212.] 



154. Correction of an Error. — Allow me to draw your 

 attention to an error in No. 14 of the ' Entomologist,' since I 

 have no wisli to appropriate credit that does not belong to 

 me. In paragraph 135 I am called the discoverer of the galls 

 of Laverna decorella in the stems of Epilobium. In the 

 ' Entomologist's Weekly Intelligencer' for March 9th, 1861 

 (No. 231) is an extract, from the ' Stettin Entom. Zeitung,' 

 of a note by Senator von Heyden, in which he records the 

 breeding of Momphis divisella (Laverna decorella) from galls 

 in the stems of Epilobium alpinum. It was only after being 

 repeatedly urged by Mr. Slainton to search, and after having 

 examined many species of Epilobium in vain, that I at last 

 found the galls. All I can claim then is to be the first to 

 have found the galls in this country, and to have added some 

 trifling observations to those of Senator von Heyden. — 

 C. G. Barrett ; Haslemere, May 11, 1865. 



Supplement to Doubleday's Synonymic List of British 

 Lepidoptera. — Mr. Doubleday has prepared a complete 

 Supplement to his ' Synonymic List,' bringing up this cata- 

 logue of indigenous Butterflies and Moths to the present 

 time. It is stitched up with No. 14 of the 'Entomologist' 

 (price sixpence), and also with the copies of the 'Synonymic 

 List' that are yet unsold. This Supplement will not be sold 

 separately. 



No. 16 of the 'Entomologist' will be published on 

 the 15th of June. Prepaid subscribers will receive it gratis.
