OBSERVATIONS. 
Nemotois Cupriacellus Larvee ? — Since 
my communication of the 29th of Sep- 
tember last, respecting this larva, I have 
continued my examinations of the de- 
cayed seed-heads of Scabiosa succisa, 
and by placing fresh heads on the top of 
the decayed seeds and examining the 
flowers from day to day, I have been 
enabled the more readily to detect the 
larvae. The following is the result of 
my continued searches up to the 1st of 
November last, since which date I have 
failed to discover 
1860.

I believe 
it is 
the 
generally received 
opinion that the larvae of this genus 
enlarge their cases by means of cutting 
pieces out of leaves. Now, as regards 
the larvae iu my possession, I have not, 
up to the present time, observed such a 
habit; but this much I have noticed,
