worked in concentric circles, sometimes 
extending from side to side of the leaf. —

Nepticula Ulmivora. — Mr. M‘Lachlan 
having discovered a habitat for this spe- 
cies between Norwood Station and West 
Wickham Wood, I went with him on 
the 2nd to be properly introduced to this 
larva in situ; the larva is green, thus 
resembling Viscerella, but the mine is 
very different from that of Viscerella, 
and the commencement of the mine is a 
slender track containing a linear thread 
of excrement, which does not occupy the 
whole width of the mine. Tue larvae 
were few and far between ; three were 
found in a unde state on a fence, where 
oue had come to grief, having entangled 
itself in a spider’s web. — H. T. Stain- 
ton ; October 6. 
Nepticula Aucuparice. — Mr. Healy has 
sent me a mountain-ash leaf collected at 
West Wickham, which appears to con- 
tain a mine of this species. The mine 
goes in and out of the serratures of the 
leaf, and the excrement does not form so 
dark and so continuous a track as in 
Oxyacanthella. It is possible that larvse 
of Aucuparice may have been mistaken 
in this country for those of Oxyacanthella. 
According to Frey’s description, Aucup- 
arice would certainly appear to be a 
distinct species. — Ibid. 
Achroia Grisella. — I met with this 
species about three weeks ago in the 
apiary of a neighbour. A description of 
the insect in its larva and pupa stales 
may not be uninteresting to some of the 
readers of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Larva about 9'" in length when full 
led; very active, throwing itself into 
violent contortions at the slightest 
annoyance; white with a tinge of 
pink ; rather hairy ; the head and 
second segment reddish brown ; spi- 
racles barely perceptible. 
Pupa pale brown, enclosed in a white 
cocoon; usually secreted under the 
inside ligaments near the entrance 
of the hive. 
Does A. Grisella hybernate ? I found 
my specimens in what were said to he 
hives of the present year, and the perfect 
insects are now making their appearance.

Lindsey ; October 3. 
EXCHANGE. 
Duplicate Epunda Lichenea. — I have 
two dozen bred specimens of E. Lichenea, 
which I shall be happy to give to any 
entomologists who may wish to fill up 
their blanks with this species in fours, 
twos or sixes, as the case may be. —

An Offer to send Larvce. — If any of 
the readers of the ‘ Intelligencer’ would 
like larva: of Lasiocampa Rubi, I shall 
be happy to supply them as far as I can. 
I have about one hundred specimens that 
I can spare, and should more be re- 
quired I dare say I can procure them. — 
Thomas A. Adam, National School, 
Newport , Isle of Wight ; October 3. 
Exchange of Bonks. — I have a com- 
plete copy of Haworth’s ‘ Lepidoplera 
Britaunica,’ 4 vols., boards, which I 
should be glad to exchange for a copy of 
Macleay’s ‘ Horse Entomologies.’ If any 
of the readers of the ‘Intelligencer’ 
would like to make the exchange I 
should be glad to hear from them. — 
E. Simpkin, 9, Spring Street, Bury, 
Lancashire ; October 6. 
Exchange. — I have fine specimens of 
the following: — 
Anthrocera Lonicerae (30), 
Pygtera Bucephala (18), . 
Hypogymna Dispar, 
Bryophila Perla (20), 
Gorlyna Flavago (12), 
Polia Chi (150), 
Abraxas Ulmata (30).
