EUMERUS 2ENEDS. Brassy Onion-fly. Mr. Curtis 

 says the maggots are brownish, and are very rough 

 from a multitude of rigid bristles, especially towards the 

 tail. The fly itself is of a reddish-ochre colour, freckled 

 with dark brown, and there are two spiny processes like 

 short horns upon the thorax, in the female at least. 



It is densely clothed with short hairs, thickly and dis- 

 tinctly punctured, and of an olive-green colour, with a 

 brassy tinge ; the antenna? (feelers) are entirely black, 

 the seta naked ; the face is very hairy, simply convex, and 

 silvery white ; eyes dark brown, and slightly hairy ; 

 rostrum very short ; thorax with two whitish lines down 

 the back. The maggots of this fly do not seem to be 

 confined to the onion, for Mr. Curtis bred one in the 

 middle of May from cabbage-roots, and specimens have 

 been taken flying about hedges in June and July, in 

 the neighbourhood of London and Bristol. As it often 

 happens, the female has not been observed depositing 

 her eggs ; the spot that she selects is therefore yet un- 

 known. Drought does not suit them.

EUO'NYMUS. The Spindle-tree. (From eu, good, and 

 onoma, a name ; literally, of good repute. Nat. ord. 

 Spindle-trees [Celastracea?]. Linn. s-Pentandria, i-Afono- 

 gynia.) 



Interesting trees and shrubs in autumn, their opening 

 capsules looking very beautiful when other things are 

 losing their attractions. Seeds may be sown either in 

 autumn or spring ; cuttings of ripe young shoots may be 

 planted in a border in autumn ; common soil. The 

 American species require a moist situation. Those from 

 Nepaul, though from a high altitude, have not been 

 proved quite hardy, though it is presumed they would 

 in many places ; protect them in winter.
