TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. J. H. — There is nothing unusual 
in your comparison. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidopxeea. 
Deilephila Livornica . — A specimen of 
this insect was picked up here by a 
cabman on the 2nd inst., and taken to a 
friend of mine, Mr. Burt, of whom I 
bought it. I put it into an empty 
breeding-cage, and it has not moved 
since, sitting on the side of the cage. 
It is a very fine specimen, and seems 
only just out of the chrysalis. The 
2nd was a very warm day here, quite 
spring-like. — G. King, ^85, Lower Union
