!N.B. When I wrote the above note I had not observed Mr. 
Cordeaux’s note in the “ Zoologist.” s.s., p. 1839. On the 24th 
of J uly, (the same day as above referred to), about thirteen miles 
from the Lincolnshire coast, his cutter ran through numerous belts 
of water “ from a few yards to some hundreds in breadth, and 
extending both to port and starboard as far as the eye could reach ; ” 
so full of myriads of green-winged Aphides as to present a “ thick 
pea-soup appearance.” The air in and around this city literally 
swarmed with these insects during the whole of that day, Mr. 
Cordeaux also mentions the astonishing number of the larvae of 
the Lady-bird in the pea-fields — ten or twelve on each plant. 
“There were many of the perfect insects, but the larvae out- 
numbered the parents as fifty to one.” — T. Southwell, Sept., 1869
