on Wednesday next, the 7th inst., at

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
B. G., Wakefield. — Your larvae are 
saw-fly larvae ; that ou the fig-wort is 
Tenthredo Scropularice (see Eut. Ann. 
1858, p. 125). 
F. 0. II. — Try and breed your larvae ; 
we cannot say what they are from your 
descriptions. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidopieea. 
Ayrophila Sulpkuralis. — I have to an- 
nounce the capture of ten specimeus of 
A. Sulphuralis this year in Norfolk. I 
took them all in the last week of July 
and the first week of August, in very 
good condition, flying over a hedge of 
Scotch fir. I took nine of them in one 
place, but the other I caught nearly two 
miles off. I should have caught several 
more if it had not been for the bad 
weather. — R. T.; October 30.

With the exception of a few wet coats, 
the season has proved favourable, and it 
has been a splendid year for larvae : I 
have more than a thousand safely gone 
to earth. I may here mention that the 
sweeping-net has been very successful ;
