THE YOUNG NATURALIST.

Editor of the Entomologist casts upon the statement by his reference to the 

 date (I have known other Cucullias appear at an abnormal date at large), but 

 that the pupae were not British. The Artemisia of the old lists was an insect 

 likely enough to occur in Britain. Its range, according to Staudinger, is 

 over Northern, Central, and Southern Europe, extending to the Southern 

 parts of Sweden, and through Hungary to Central and Southern Kussia. The 

 species now announced has a much more restricted range, and not extending 

 in this direction at all. Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Livonia, 

 Sweden (Southern), Russia (Central and Southern), &c, being the localities 

 given by Staudinger. Young Naturalists must therefore be careful before 

 they part either with their rarities or their cash for these reputed species. 

 Old Naturalists can take care of themselves.
