Exchanges with South France. — M. Franz Richter, assistant 

 to M. Lichtenstein, at Montpellier, offers all objects of natural 

 history in the south of France, and more especially southern 

 HvuiDioptcra well-named, Aphididae and Coccidae in microscopic 

 preparations. He has also sets of Phylloxera in the various life- 



HiBERNATtON of the Army Worm.— The experience of the 

 past winter has very fully confirmed the revised conclusions we 

 reached in 1880 respecting the hibernation of Leucania unifmncta 

 in the larva state. We found the larvae of all sizes throughout 

 the milder winter weather in Washington, and the first moths 

 issued from them early in March or about the time when in South 

 Georgia what may safely be assumed to have been a second gen- 

 eration of worms for that latitude were found of all sizes. At the 

 present writing, in Washington the second generation of moths 

 are ovipositing, preferring, in the open field, as we rightly inferred 

 in 1877, old hay and stubble and coarse grass or corn stalks to 

 the green grass, whenever the former are at hand. From the 

 widespread occurrence of this insect wherever we have sought 

 it so far, we conclude that much damage will result from the sec- 

 ond and third broods of worms in the more northern States. — C
