Mwinstowe, which latter place I hope 

 rou will reach safely and in due course, 

 f you are a pic-nic party for the day 

 ■our best plan will be to drive to the 

 Major Oak/' a large tree, and spread 

 ut your provisions on the sward. If you 

 re in for a few days' stay, drive to the 

 ottom of the village and take up your 

 uarters with Mrs. Morley, give her my 

 ompliments, and I have no doubt you 

 -ill be quite comfortable. Tell her that 

 am walking, and shall arrive later on ; 

 ) good-bye, I will meet you there, and 

 fter we have had a good night's rest, I 

 ill take you out for a walk through 

 le forest.

INSECTS IN JANUARY. 



By C. W. Dale, Glanville Wootton, Dorset. 



I can add two species to your list of January 

 Lepidoptera, having met with Exapete gelatella 

 ( a common species in orchards ) as late as the 

 7th ; and three Setricodes hyemena, which here 

 emerges from the pupa state soon after the 20th 

 in company with H. leucophozaria. 



Winter Insects. — The following may be truly 

 termed winter insects, being found from October 

 to April. — Xeuroptera, Boreus hyemalis ; 

 Hymenoptera, Cynips apterus ; Diptera, 

 Borborus pedestris, Trichocera fuscata, hyemalis 

 and regelationis, Chironomus stercorarius and 

 minimus, Lestremia leucophaia, and Campy- 

 lomyza-bicolor. Probably a few others may 

 be added to the fist amongst the Hymen- 

 optera and Diptera, but I think there will 

 be found to be none amongst the Coleoptera and 

 Hemiptera, although there is a vast host of hyber- 

 nating species. The Lepidoptera you are already 

 giving as found in the various months. The three 

 first in my list are either totally apterus or partly 

 so. The remainder, which are usually called 

 father long-legs and gnats, may often be seen 

 dancing up-and-down in the air during the sun- 

 shine even when the ground is covered with snow.
