Sweeping, $-c. — I have lately been en- 
gaged in the laborious, but not unprofit- 
able, work of sweeping, and have taken 
several insects new to me. The scene of 
my operations is a field, or more properly 
part of a gentleman’s park, which this 
summer has never been mown, and con- 
sequently is covered with tall grass and 
weeds, delighting in every degree of 
luxuriance, some even reaching over your 
head. I have worked for several days 
two hours a day, and, among other things, 
I have taken — 
Amara spinipes 
Necrophorus morluorum 
Nitidula grisea 
Byrrhus pilula 
Anthrenus muscorum 
Anthuphagus pallens 
Chrysomela staphylea 
... geminata 
Ph$don fastuosa 
Cryptocephalus pusillus (in several 
varieties) 
Longitarsus verbasci 
Haltica Euphorbias 
... fuscicornis 
Sphteroderma testacea 
Hypera variabilis 
... nigrirostris 
Ceuthorhyuchus erysimi 
... constrictus 
Orehestes melanocephalus 
Coccidula rufa. 
I have also taken — 
Callidium variabile, 
Donacia cincta, 
Scydmenus tarsatus, 
and hosts of Staphs, some of them, no 
doubt, good, if I only knew the names. —

OBSERVATIONS. 
Larva of Cosmopteryx Eximia. — In 
this week’s ‘Intelligencer,’ speaking of 
Zeller’s Druryella, you observe, “ Zeller 
remarks that it occurred amongst rasp- 
berry and hop bushes, and there is an 
impression gone abroad that it (like 
Eximia) mines the leaves of the hop.” 
I send you two extracts from my diary, 
and hope they will be the means of 
throwing a light upon this question. 
1859. 
“ 17th Aug. Hackney. Cosmopteryx Ex- 
imia. Collected many larvae in 
wild hop leaves. 
“ 19th Aug. Do. Do. Do. 
“ Observed several yellowish white 
larvae, with a brown head and 
green dorsal line, crawling about 
the glass cover of the jam-pots 
along with the marbled larvae of 
C. Eximia.” 
These larvte were precisely shaped like 
those of C. Eximia, but differing, of 
course, in the markings. When l col- 
lected the mined leaves I did not per- 
ceive any difference in the mine. Un- 
fortunately, in moving from Haggerstone 
to Hoxton, the jam-pots containing these 
larvae got broken and the contents lost. —

Larva of Cosmopteryx Eximia. — This 
larva is among those described by Carl 
von Heyden, in a recent number of the 
‘Stettin Entomologische Zeitung’ (1860, 
p. 122) ; as the worthy Senator notes the 
fact that the beautiful rosy livery of the
