peared in the last volume of the ‘ Intel-

“ Neplicula Sericopeza bred. — Dr. 
Wocke has bred this species from larvce 
found mining the leaves of Populus 
tremula in October and November; the 
mine is very similar to that of N. ar- 
gyropeza . — Professor Frey, Zurich; 
April 12, 1860.” 
Sericopeza is one of our greatest rarities 
in England.

FEN INSECTS. 
To the Editor of the ‘Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — As the time has nearly arrived 
for the distribution of my fen insects 
among my subscribers, I beg to say that, 
owing to the unusually wet season, it 
will not be in my power to satisfy all 
the shareholders so well as I could wish ; 
therefore I think the best way will be to 
distribute full shares to those who have 
paid their full subscriptions, and return 
the money to those I cannot fairly sup- 
ply. All collectors must be well aware 
of the great difficulty of finding insects 
on dry land, but what is that to col- 
lecting in the marshes ? I can truly say 
that some of my best hunting-grounds 
have been flooded nearly all the season 
with from two to four feet of water ; and 
the place where I mostly find the Wain- 
scots is now two feet under water, and 
for days I sometimes do not catch sight 
of the commonest insect; so I hope that 
no gentleman will feel annoyed by my 
returning his money in place of the 
insects, for I have done my best to get 
them. 
I hope to try next season again, when 
I trust I shall meet with better success. 
Thanking all for their kindness, I shall 
be glad of any advice in the matter, and 
remain 
Yours, See., 
W. Winter.

F OR SALE. — I have twelve speci- 
mens of Gastropacha Ilicifolia, 
which I have bred this year; they are 
very fine, and are for Sale, not ex- 
change. I have also a fine specimen of 
Aeronycta Alni, which I took this year 
near Sheffield. — W. Green, Ecclesall 
Road , near the Small Bar, Sheffield.
