OBSERVATIONS. 
Butterflies in Carmarthenshire. — It 
may be interesting to some of your 
readers to hear that, among the “ good 
things” to be found here are A. Iris 
(which I have seen, but was unable to 
catch, on account of his love for inac- 
cessible altitudes), P. Cratagi (but I have 
not seen one since 1856), C. Edusa (in 
great numbers for the last three years, 
but not one has been seen this year) ; 
C. Hyale , V. Polychloros, M. Artemis 
and T. Betulce , I have seen, but not 
caught: L. Sinapis is very abundant, 
likewise A. Galathea. — H. L. Tyther- 
leige, Kidwelly , Carmarthenshire. 
Hyponomeuta vigintipunctata . — Last 
July I had some of the larvae of this spe- 
cies sent to me, and in the following 
months of August and September several 
irnagos duly made their appearance: I 
now perceive that the remainder of the 
pupae are in their cocoons and are alive. 
Will any gentleman experienced in breed- 
ing this species kindly inform me whether 
it is customary for it to remain in a state 
of pupation during the winter? Should 
no one be able to answer the question, 
then perhaps the gentlemen who have 
taken the larvae this year will inform me 
whether their observations agree with 
mine. — Charles Healy, 74, Napier 
Street, Hoxton, N. ; Dec. 4. 
[We have no doubt that this is one of 
the exceptional occurrences connected 
with the low temperature of the past 
season ; in ordinary seasons all these 
pupae would have produced moths to- 
wards the end of August, but now they 
are “biding their time” till the end of 
April next.]

clude that I am furnished already with 
their spare specimens. — Henry R. Cox,
