178 THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



in September and October. It is a greyish green sixteen legged caterpillar, 

 with a yellowish head. The third pair of legs is club-shaped. Epigraphia 

 steinkellneriana feeds between turned down leaves of hawthorn, in August 

 and September. Tinea bistrigella may be found in a large blotch on birch 

 leaves. Adelafibulella lives in a flat case on Germander speedwell, Swammer- 

 damia ccesiella makes a web on hawthorn leaves as does also the yellow S. 

 pyrella, which latter also feeds on apple and pear trees. Platella xylostella 

 feeds on turnip and cabbage leaves. Enicostoma lohella turns down sloe 

 leaves. Gelechia acuminatetla mines the leaves of thistles. G. notatella 

 unites sallow leaves. G. scriptella turns down maple leaves. G. triparella 

 unites oak leaves. jEcop/iora flavimaculella feeds on the seeds of wild 

 angelica. (E. similella should be sought for under the bark of dead fir-trees, 

 in the north ; and Alemelia uorguatella may perhaps be met with in the same 

 localities, in birch and elm leaves. Gracillaria Swederella makes cones on 

 oak leaves. Coleopkora paripemiella makes a case on hawthorn and sloe, 

 which lies flat on the leaf ; we may also find it on rose and bramble. C. lari~ 

 cell a makes a case on larch (see the coloured plate with the Young Natura- 

 list for September, 18S4.) C, tlierinella we find in a long whitish case on 

 thistle leaves, but it is far from common. C. argentula makes a short whitish 

 case and feeds on the seeds of yarrow (Achillea millefolium.) C. virgaureella 

 makes a small cylindrical brownish case, and feeds on the seeds of golden rod. 

 Bedellia somnulentella mines convolvulus leaves. Laverna Hellerella lives 

 in hawthorn berries, and Tischeria complanella makes whitish blotches on 

 oak leaves. 



Of the genus Lit/iocollelis, we have quite a long list. On oak we find 

 mines of roborella, amyotella, horlella, Cramerella, Eeegeriella, irradiella, 

 lautella, quercifoliella, and Messaniella. On maple we have acerifoliella 

 (figured in the coloured plate with the Young Naturalist for July, 1884.) 

 On hornbeam, tenella (underside), and carpinicolella (upperside.) On alder, 

 we have alnifoliella, Frolichiella and Elemanniella, mining the underside of 

 the leaves, and Stettinella mining the upper side. On birch we have ulmifoli- 

 ella (see plate with Y.N., September, 1884), and the scarce castella. On 

 sallow, we have spinolella, salicicolella (see plate July, 1SS4), and viminiella 

 (ibid). On osiers, we have viminetella, which will be found figured on the 

 same plate as the two preceding species. On hawthorn, we havo pomifoliella 

 (and apple), corylifoliella (see plate with Y.N., September, IS 84, and the 

 northern Caledoniella. Both these last two mine the upper side of the leaves, 

 while the first-named mines the underside. They all three seem to be scarce 

 in the South of England. Besides these we have Corylella and Niceliella 

 mining nut leaves; schrelerella (see plate with Y.N., September, 1884) and
