TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



E. A. B., Sandback. — The skin sent you us is 

 that of the larva of some species of Dragon 

 Fly. 



The larvae produced from the ova of S. Mice 

 acknowledged last week are dead, so that 

 species is amongst our desiderata. 



K., Crmberwill, and others — We are sorry 

 we overlooked the fact that you had paid 

 for colored plates, we send you one colored 

 with this number, and will try and keep 

 right in future. 



F. W. — Full instructions on preparing eggs 

 for the cabinet, with figures of the instru- 

 ments required, were given in No. 5. We 

 cannot repeat them now. If your book- 

 seller cannot get you the number we will 

 send it by post for three halfpenny stamps. 



H. M. Parish, Taunton. — Many thanks for 

 larvae of T. quercus. Of the others; the 

 smallest was dead ; the second sized one 

 had partly cast its skin, and was dying. 

 These two were quite unrecognisable. The 

 largest larva was in a bad state, from the 

 exudation from one of the others, but as far 

 as we could make out, was T. instabilis. 

 It was not possible to be certain in the 

 state it was in. 



Colored Plates. — Several annual sub- 

 scribers have complained that Plate 3 

 has been sent them uncolored. If they 

 refer to Page 106, No. 10, and Page 

 210, No. 27, they will find that besides 

 4 colored plates in the year, we now pur- 

 pose to issue, with first number in the 

 intermediate months, an uncolored plat^. 

 These extra plates can be had colored at a 

 charge of 2d. each, on application ; but we 

 cannot pretend to give hand-colored plates 



NATURALIST. 



at the rate of 12 in the year for our small 

 subscription. If our circulation increase; 

 as we trust it will, these extra plates may 

 be issued fortnightly, or even weekly, but 

 in any case an extra charge will be made 

 when they are wanted colored, for they 

 actually cost us the amount we charge. 

 Plate 4 will be issued next week, those wish- 

 ing to have it colored should order at once 

 if they have not already done so.
