THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



Captures. 

 Mr. E. Harper : February 7th, H leuco- 

 phearia. February 20th, N. Msjridaria, 4, 1 

 very dark var. with pale border, 2 P. pilo- 

 saria, and H. leucqphearia, at Richmond 

 Park. 



The only notice I have received from the 

 northern part of London has been that 

 H. rvpicapraria has been very common. 

 Several of our members have been after the 

 larvae of A. villica, but very few captures 

 have been recorded. Although we have had 

 mild weather, our members who have hy- 

 bernating larvae have not noticed any incli- 

 nation to feed. — R. G. Burry.

 BRITISH BIRDS, NESTS AND EGGS. 



I much want a grey Wagtail in fuli 

 breeding dress, and a young bird in nest 

 plumage, for figuring in British Birds ; also 

 Bearded Tit male and female, and one in 

 nest plumage, as well as nest and eggs. 

 Also authentic eggs and nest of Cole Tit. I 

 wish to give a good plate of eggs of the Tree 

 Pipit, and would be obliged if persons 

 having curious or striking forms, would 

 submit them for figuring. If they are 

 required to be returned I will pay all 

 expenses of transit. If not I will give copy 

 of the part containing any such specimens 

 figured, or will, in any other way, give such 

 return as is in my power, if senders will 

 include their marked lists showing desiderata. 

 The following are also wanted for the same 

 purpose : — Young birds in nest plumage of 

 Ray's Wagtail, Tree Pipit, Meadow Pipit, 

 Rock Pipit. 



Wood Lark, young bird, nest and eggs. 

 Shore Lark, ,, ,, ,, ,, 

 Snow Bunting, summer dress, nest and eggs, 

 Nests and eggs of Hawfinch, Siskin, Mealy 

 Redpole, Crossbill ; extreme varieties of any 

 kind, either birds or eggs ; and many others 

 which will be given in further lists. — S. L.
