Capture of Atomwria ferruginea and A. Jknetarii m Yorkshire. — During the month 
[ay, 1867, I captured a fine series of A. ferniginea, by shaking moss at the roots 
,sh-troes, in a very damp part of one of our woods. I had the satisfaction of 
n finding it the other day in the same place, in some plenty. There are no 
i' nests, either in the trees or in the ground, near where I found the Atomaria, 
he same neighbourhood, in May, 1867, I had the good fortune to take a fine 
nple of Atomaria fimetarii. — Id. 
Occurrence of Potaminus suhstriatus near Scarlorough. — I have taken this very 
resting and local species in Scalby Beck, scantily, from January last up to the 
lent time, amongst moss growing on a timber waterfall, also on submerged 
es of wood, accompanied by Elmis Vollcmari, parallelopipeclus, and ceneus, and 
Wcena pulchella. — Egbert Lawson, 58, St. Thomas Street, Scarborough, October

Query respecting Bedegiuw galls. — There being reasons for supposing that other 
s (especially cultivated varieties) besides the dog-rose, sweetbriar, and Rosa 
.osissima, are infested with " Bedeguars " in this country, any information or 
lenticated specimens, throwing light on this subject, would be very acceptable 
le. I particularly wish to ascertain if grafts of the moss-rose have ever been 
id thus diseased. — Albert Muller, 2, Camden Villas, Penge, S.E., October 
i, 1868. 
[With reference to this query I may remark, that I believe to have seen the gall 
Rosa arvensis, but am not quite certain. In observations on " standard " roses, 
lould be noted whether the galls are on the head of the plant, above the point 
* budding," or on shoots or " runners " from the root or base of the stem. —

Enoicyla pusilla, the terrestrial Trichopterous insect, bred in England. — At page 
)f the present volume I noticed the finding by Mr. J. E. Fletcher, of Worcester, 
ihe larva? and cases of a terrestrial caddis-fly, which were probably those of 
msilla, Bui-m. Both sexes of that insect have now been bred bv Mr. Fletcher 
a these larva). He found about 200 oases, and remarks that the larva feeds on 
!S and lichens at the lower part of the trunks of trees growing in damp situa- 
LS. When it ceases feeding, it stops up both ends of its case and burrows into 
ble earth, or moss, if the earth is not suitable, but only to a shght depth. Some 
,gos appeared early in October, though at that time some of the larva? had not 
led to pupa3. This insect is the most important addition to our Trichopterous 
aa that has y^t been made. Through the kindness of its discoverer I have 
3ived a living example of both sexes ; the female {Dromophila montana, Heyden) 
the merest rudiments of wings, and a stoutly developed abdomen, looking 
lething like certain Coleopterous larvae (e.g., Crioceris), but with long porrected 
ennse. The larva has no external respiratory filaments. — R. McLachlan, Lewis-

Note on Agrypnia picta, Kolenati. — In noticing my capture of Agrypnia picta 
M. Mag., Oct., p. 125), Mr. McLaohlan has made a shght error. Ho says I
