but most have occurred in the morning. Although IL have 
been on the look-out for both of these species for the last 
thirty-five years, I never took them before.—Samuel Stevens ;

Entomological Pins.—\ do not think Messrs. Tayler & Co. 
‘need make any additional pins for the use of British entomo- 
logists, but may safely cease making several sizes which are 
constantly used by some of my good-natured, but unpractical, 
correspondents. May I suggest to Mr. Adams, who writes 
upon this subject (Entom. ix. 160), that if he and other 
entomologists use the following pins for something like 
the purposes mentioned below, they will soon like these 
sizes to the exclusion of all others. Such is my own case, 
after having used them for about nineteen seasons. No. 6— 
gilt; for largest butterflies, Sphinges, &c. No. 8—gilt; for 
Noctuina, and other stout-bodied moths and larger Geometers. 
No. 10—gilt; for small Geometers, Pyralides, and large 
Tortrices. No. 18—gilt; for small Tortrices, and all Tinea, 
excepting smallest. No. 20—gilt; for small Tinee. The 
No. 18 is an especially useful pin. I wish if Messrs. 
Tayler & Co. are making any change, it would be to make 
the heads of all the pins somewhat smaller.—John T. 
Carrington. 
Answers to Correspondents. 
Eustace F. Clark.—(1) Can you tell me to what country 
the Papilio, Helenus, Stalacthis, Susanna, Heliconea, Phyllis, 
Danais, Plerippus, and D. Chrysippus, belong, as I have got 
them, but know nothing of their economy or habitat? (2) 
Do you know of any competent entomologist who would be 
willing to name beetles if I sent some to him? I prefer to go 
by the classification at the end of Mr. Rye’s book. I can 
identify but few of my insects, and I know no entomologist— 
in fact, I doubt of there being many—in this neighbourhood. 
I have also many Lepidoptera I do not know by name. (3) 
I send you several wings of moths, found by me lying about 
all together on two successive days. I suppose they had 
fallen victims to some spider or beetle. Can you tell me to 
what moths they belong? There is one dark gray, with the
