TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



G. F. W., Birmingham. — The Cocoon you 

 • send is that of a large Sawfly, probably 

 Trichiosoma lueorum. The larva passes the 

 winter in the cocoon, and changes to a 

 pupa in the spring. Do you require it 

 returned ? We shall always be glad to 

 receive such things when they seem un- 

 common. 



T. W. R.; Camber well. —Thanks for your 

 efforts ; we are glad you have found our 

 Exchanges useful. We are always pleased 

 to insert them when sent to us for that 

 purpose.
