THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, 
end of September and beginning of 
October. When Professor Frey first 
met with it he mistook it for the larva of 
N. trimaculella. 
15. Turicensis. Professor Frey re- 
marked of this (Int. iv. p. 15), “ I have 
bred this in plenty from larvae in beech 
leaves; the mines were so similar to 
those of Tilyrella that I had collected 
them supposing them to be that species.’’ 
19. Betulicola. We have a description 
of this larva, but no figure. The some- 
what visceriform mine and the yellow 
larva with distinct green dorsal vessel 
render this species easily recognisable: 
it appears partial to young birch trees. 
20. Gratiosella. Of this hitherto un- 
distinguished larva Professor Frey writes 
as follows (Linn. Ent.xi.p. 430): — “The 
larva mines the hawthorn, but I could 
not distinguish it amongst the yellow 
larvte of this shrub. However, in the 
spring of 1855 I bred this species in 
plenty, and only this, from mines I had 
collected at Frankfort, so that on my re- 
ferring to the dried leaves from whence 
I obtained the moths I have in all pro- 
bability a clue to the mine. The gal- 
leries begin with a much contorted, very 
slender track, with blackish brown line of 
excrement, which does not touch the 
margins of the mine, and then gradually 
expands to a very broad and long gallery, 
or an elongate irregular blotch, which 
sometimes overlaps, and includes the 
original slender tracks. The larger mine 
is yellowish, intersected by the rather 
slender wavy line of excrement.” 
21. Continuella. A mine difficult to 
see from its retaining so very nearly the 
colour of the leaf: it occurs sparingly 
near here. I have made two attempts to 
have the larva figured, and hope to be 
successful next time. 
23. Mespilicola. This larva is peculiar 
to a Sonth-European shrub, which Pro- 
fessor Frey names Amelanchier vulgaris ; 
I presume this is the Aronia rolundifolia 
of Wood’s ‘ Tourist’s Flora.’

SOCIETY regret the unavoidable 
delay in the issue to the Subscribers of 
the volume for 1859, Mr. Blackwall’s 
Monograph of British Spiders. The 
Plates to this volume have to be carefully 
coloured by hand, and as the figures are 
rather numerous, and the number of 
Subscribers exceeds 600, the process of 
colouring the whole issue necessarily re- 
quires considerable time. The volume 
will probably be issued early in 1861.
