KNTOMOLOGICAL ECHOES. 175 



alteutiou to them 1 only bred three males; nearly all the 

 larvae were infesleH with Ichneumon Psyche, mihi. On the 

 17th of July 1 again found young larvae, but they, case and 

 all, were not larger than this dot (.) ; the cases were made 

 ol the down from the under sides of the leaves. 1 supplied 

 them well with food as long as leaves could be obtained; 

 then I left them to their fate, and soon discovered that they 

 had fastened themselves to the top of the inverted tumbler, 

 having pre\iously covered the sides with a fine web. About 

 the end of March they began to stir, when 1 supplied them 

 with the buds of whitethorn and sallow ; they soon began to 

 increase the size of their cases, adding to then) fine sawdust 

 and leaves cut very small. After a few weeks they fastened 

 themselves u}) as before, and remained immovable; this 

 being about eleven months since they were hatched. In a 

 short time a great number of Ichneumons appeared, all quite 

 different from /. Psyche. I then examined the cases, and 

 only found in theui the shrivelled skin of the caterpillar. In 

 the month of June of the present year (1828) 1 met with 

 abundant larvae and pupae, and collected a large box full. In 

 the beginning of Jidy the perfect insects began to make their 

 appearance, but 1 only obtained four males and two females. 

 1 have also found them in Highgate Wood. It is past a 

 doubt with me that the larvae are two seasons coming to 

 perfection. This may account for so many being stung by 

 the Ichneumon. — A. Ingpen ; November 24, 18-28." 



" Enclosed is a wing ot Lophopteryx carmelita. 1 have 

 no doubt of it, as it agrees with the figure and description in 

 thy work. I found it in Ongar Park, on the 22nd of April, 

 1828. Thyatira batis is by no means an uncommon insect 

 here. — Henry Doubleday; 5th iMonth 15th, 1829." 



" Endronns versicolor has been taken this year in Suffolk, 

 by Mr. Kerridge, a chemist, of Ipswich. — Rev. WiM. KiRBY." 



"1 may mention ihal Pap ilio {Arye) galatiiea was plentiful 

 about St. Margaret's Bay, near Dover: this was in 1798 and 

 1799. In 1804 the captain of a vessel brought me a death's- 

 head moth, which he saw fly and settle in the sails when he 

 was several miles from shore, near the mouth of the Bristol 

 Channel. They are plentiful about once in seven years 

 about Swansea. — L. W. Dillwyn ; October 12, 1829."
