Mr. Stainton will be “at home” on 
Wednesday next, the 6lh instant, at 
6 f. m., as usual. 
Change of Addbess. — Having left 
Liverpool my address is now — H. Ste- 
phenson, Fisher Yard, Long Royd 
Bridge, near Huddersfield ; February 23. 
TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
S. S. — The numbers refer to the Ap- 
pendix to the ‘ Manual,’ which is printed 
separately as ‘ Synonymic Lists.’ See 
advertisement in another column. 
J. I. — Your saw-fly is Sirex gigas or 
S. juvencus ; the white grubs no doubt 
belong to it. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidopteba. 
Another Locality for Noctua Dilra- 
pezium. — Ou the 21st of last August 
I captured two moths I could not at the 
time make out. I showed them to 
several of my entomological friends, 
none venturing to say what they were, 
until my friend Mr. Edleston pro- 
nounced one a variety of A. Tritici aud 
the other a variety of N. C -nig rum. On 
Sunday last my friend Mr. Gregson 
came over from Liverpool, and I sub- 
mitted them to his examination : the 
first he pronounced Agrulis C'ursoria, 
var., he having a form just like it; the 
other he says he is certain is no less 
than Noctua Ditrapezium, aud he begged 
the favour to exhibit it at the meeting 
of the Northern Entomological Club, 
which will take place at Manchester in a 
few weeks. I captured it in my net, 
flying over the flowers of Senecio Ja- 
cubcea : it was raining at the time, and 
the wind so strong that insects could 
scarcely sit on the flowers. The fol- 
lowing I find in my note-book for the 
same night: — “One Prcecox, one Ces- 
pitis, a few Cursoria, a number of Tri- 
tici, &c., &c., all on the marsh, near 
Conway, North Wales.” Mr. Gregson 
says Ditrapezium should be out in J uly, 
at sugar, so if any of my brethren of the 
net should pay a visit to Conway I hope 
they will keep their “ weather eye ” 
open ; if they do I have no doubt that 
many will be able to fill up a gap in 
their cabinets before another year is 
over. — Thomas Hague, Dog and Part- 
ridge Lnn, Staleybridge ; Feb. 19. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Coleophora Siccifolia. — Looking on a 
hawthorn-hedge, the other morning, I 
thought that oue of the brown leaves left 
sticking on seemed of a rather familiar 
form, and, on taking hold of it, it turned 
out, as I expected, a case of Coleophora 
Siccifolia. It might be advisable to 
collect these cases (if they can be found) 
before the hedges are agaiu green, as a 
Siccifolia collected now should be more 
easily reared than one collected in 
August. — H. T. Stainton ; Feb. 26. 
EXCHANGE. 
Erirhinus vorax. — Having taken this 
insect in plenty, I shall be happy to 
forward living specimens to any one 
sending a pill-box aud stamps. — R. 
Tykeb, Cavendish, Sudbury ; Feb. 19. 
Exchange. Wishing to complete ray 
Rhopalocera first, I have Melitcea Cinxia 
(12), Arge Galathea (40), and Sphinx 
Convolvuli (15), to exchange for Erebia
