806 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



females sought the clover for the purpose of depositing their 

 eggs on it : I have several times kept the females in confine- 

 ment, with the view of obtaining eggs, but always without 

 success. — J. S. Dell ; September 16, 1865. 



234. Food-plant of Anthoc/iaris Cardamines. — In No. 6 

 of the ' Entomologist,' Mr. Newman enumerates several plants 

 as the food of the larvae of Anlhocharis Cardamines. In ad- 

 dition to these it may be found upon the ladies' bedstraw 

 (Galium verum). In the midsummer of 1803 I found two 

 larvae on the above-named plant, which I reared, one from a 

 green pupa, the other from a pupa of a brownish hue. — S. A. 

 Davis, Jan. ; Seven Sisters' Road, Holloway, N.

 of the Entomological Society, unavoidably stand over. 



*** Great disappointment has been expressed at the receipt 

 of another periodical instead of this, when ordered through 

 booksellers : the difficulty probably arises from the somewhat 

 similar name. Please order Newman's ' Entomologist.'
