ingon Chenopodiam album ,C .Bonus. 
Henricus, Atriplexporlulacoid.es and 
A. Hastata (I also found six cases 
on Salicornia Herbacea, which ap- 
peared to agree with the others) ; out 
of a hundred and fifty larvae I had 
collected I bred sixteen only. 
Sept. C. Caespititiella. Twenty larvae: 
none bred. 
During last summer I also collected 
the following larvae : — 
April 30. C. Alcyonipennella. Seventy 
larvae; two bred August 15th. 
May 1. C. Murinipennella. Thirty larvae; 
four bred July 16th. 
May 29. C. Badiipennella. Twenty-six 
larvae ; two bred August 14th. 
June 16. C. Gryphipennella. Forty-two 
larvae; three bred July 3rd. 
... C. Anatipennella. Forty larvae; 
eight bred August 20lh. 
... C. Lutipennella. Twenty-eight 
larvae ; none bred. 
July 3. C. Fuscedinella. Seventy larvae ; 
fourteen bred August 14th. 
Aug. 1 . C. Troglodytella. Thirty larvae ; 
none bred. 
Aug. 24. C. Paripennella. Sixty larvae ; 
none bred. 
In May I collected hundreds of the 
larvae of Laverna Phragmitella in the 
heads of Typha ; I had some feeding all 
the summer, and even at this day some 
are coming out. Nearly all through 
September and October they came out 
cripples, and hid themselves among the 
wool. At last I put them in a green- 
house (which was slightly heated at 
night) for about ten days, and then 
removed them into the forcing-house, 
with a heat of from 40° to 75°, or even 
80°; they soon began to come out very 
fine all through November, far into 
December, when they ceased. 
Finding no more Phragmitella come 
out, on the 21st of December I put my 
remaining pupae and larvae into the 
forcing-house (they had been in the 
green-house since the 14th of December). 
During the Christmas week I was in 
London, and when I come home I found 
some insects had come out and died 
during my absence. I then looked every 
day, and there came out as follows: — 
Jan. 3. One Coleophora Badiipennella. 
4. Two Acrolepia Pygmaeana. 
„ Two Coleophora Fuscedinella. 
5. One C. Solitariella. 
11. Two C. Viminetella. 
„ Four Laverna Phragmitella. 
18. Two Coleophora Liueola. 
,, Three C. Troglodytella. 
24. Several C. Albitarsella. 
29. One Lithocolletis Pomifoliella. 
31. Two Coleophora lutipennella. 
„ Two C. Alcyonipennella.

NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 
TINE IN A. 
The ‘Times,’ writing now in favour of 
the Exhibition of 1862, comments on 
the new population that has grown up 
since 1851, reminding us that though to 
veterans ten years seems no time, to the 
juveniles it is a long period of time. 
There is no great difference between 
sixty and seventy — there is a very great 
difference between seven and seventeen. 
Those who are now seventeen were only 
seven years old in 1851. 
It is now seven years since the pro- 
spectus of the ‘Natural History of the 
Tineina’ appeared, and the first sub- 
scriber’s names were received at a Meet- 
ing of the Entomological Club, at Mr .
