Leucophasia Sinapis Ovipositing.—On the 13th of June I 
was in the woods at Grange, North Lancashire, when I 
observed several wood-whites flitting about and settling on 
various plants close to me. It then occurred to me | had 
seen an article in one of our magazines that wood-whites had 
never been observed to settle, always being seen on the wing. 
I have seen scores in my time at rest. I stooped down to 
look whether they were males or females on the ox-eye 
daisy-flowers: one I watched more carefully than the others, 
as I could see it was very anxious to find a plant to lay eggs 
upon; I stood still and watched it within three feet of me, 
and it was careful among the rough herbage to single out the 
trefoil to deposit its eggs upon; I noted some of the sprigs, 
so that I could gather them to look for the eggs, and there 
was only one egg deposited on each sprig ; the shape of the 
egg is very peculiar, just the shape of a conical shot. I also 
found young larve, about three-eighths of an inch long, on 
the same plant. It seems as if Loti ought to be the name, 
instead of Sinapis.—J. B. Hodgkinson; 15, Spring Bank, 
Preston. 
Is Acidalia rubricata a Single-(brooded| Species 2—I have 
twice endeavoured to rear this insect from the egg. The first 
time the only caterpillar that survived the winter died at the 
commencement of June. ‘This year two caterpillars survived 
the winter, and one moth has appeared this morning. Now, 
caterpillars of the August brood ought, by right, to have 
produced the May brood. I have not yet succeeded in 
obtaining eggs from the May brood.—|[ Rev.) A. H. Wratis- 
law; School Hall, Bury St. Edmunds, July 2, 1874. 
Description of the Larva of Eupisteria heparata.—On the 
2nd of July last I received a few larve of this species from 
Mr. A. H. Jones, of Eltham, and on the 5th described them 
as follows :—Slender, length about five-eighths of an inch; 
head the same width as the 2nd segment, globular, and 
slightly notched on the crown; body cylindrical, and of 
nearly uniform width throughout; each segment is plump in 
the middle, which makes the divisions distinct; skin clothed 
with a few short scattered hairs. Ground colour bright green ; 
head glaucous-green, with a large black ocellus on the upper
