P. cassinea, larve rare. N.chaonia and N. dodonea, larve. 
T. derasa and batis, common. D. Orion, one, in fine con- 
dition, July 17th: Is not this rather late? LL. turca, next to 
M. strigilis, 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 larve; I did not see the imago. 
T. miniosa, larve not rare. H. contigua, four. H. dipsacea; 
I was too late for this species, and only took one. E. fuscula, 
one. C. promissa, just coming out when I left. Besides the

Zeuzera Aisculi.—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 ; 30, Compton Street, Islington, 
April 23, 1874. 
[The larva was certainly that of Zeuzera Asculi; the 
moth will come out in June or July. — Edward Newman.| 
Ls Saturnia Carpini ever Double-brooded ?2—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 
caterpillar 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. Oldfield; Wadham College, Oxford, May 
15, 1874, 
[Will correspondents kindly give their experience in this 
matter ?’—Hdward Newman. |
