THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
EXCHANGE. 
Epunda Lichenea . — I promised to in- 
form several gentlemen, through the 
medium of the ‘ Intelligencer,’ when I 
should be able to forward them the 
larvae of this insect, and, in fulfilment of 
my promise, I am happy to say that I 
am now ready to supply them, as far as 
my stock will hold out; and, to save un- 
necessary postage of empty boxes, if they 
will forward to me a note enclosing two 
postage-stamps, I will send them the 
larvae, and not require the return of the 
boxes. — John S. Dell, 126, Navy Row, 
Morice Town , Devon; March 11. 
Surplus Beetles . — I have a few of the 
following, taken in the marshes, to give 
to any one in want of them : — 
Carabus granulatus, 
Badister unipustulatus, 
... peltatus (2), 
Bembidium pusillum, 
... arliculatum. 
Those applying must please pay the 
postage both ways, as I give them without 
asking any return whatever. — W. Win- 
ter, Aldcby, Beccles ; March 9. 
Erirhinus vorax. — I have supplied 
nearly twenty applicants with this in- 
sect, and my stock at present is ex- 
hausted. I hope soon, however, to 
capture more, and then the numerous 
boxes I have still on hand shall be for- 
warded to their respective owners. 1 had 
no idea this insect was so generally 
wanted, as it is by no means uncommon 
in this county, under the mossy bark of 
the black poplar. — R. Tyrer, Cavendish, 
Sudbury. 
JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer 
Sir, — Dr. Gray’s letter, in the last 
‘ Intelligencer,’ reminds me of Falstaff’s 
“hap’orth o’ bread to an intolerable lot 
o’ sack,” — it is not so much a defence 
of the ‘Journal of Entomology’ as a 
Quixotic attack upon the Presidents of 
the Societies named therein. Whatever 
delay in the publication of papers in the 
Entomological Society’s ‘ Transactions ’ 
may, at times, have occurred, it has not 
been due to the regulations of the Society ; 
if it had been, the evil would doubtless 
have been rectified by the superabundant 
energy of Dr. Gray during the two years 
he was President of the Society. It 
would be an easy but invidious task to 
show that the delays mentioned are often 
caused by the authors themselves, and 
that, if they wish it, there is no advan- 
tage an independent journal can offer 
that their own Society’s ‘Transactions’ 
cannot afford to them. 
I am, Sir, 
Yours, See.,

Notice of an unrecorded British 
Species of Philonthus — P. scu- 
TATUS OF ErICHSON, KRAATZ, & C. 
BY G. R. WATERHOUSE, ESQ. 
My attention having been directed to 
the species of Philonthus more or less 
nearly allied to P. aeneus, P. carbonarius, 
See., through the announcement, by Mr. 
E. Shepherd, of a new British species 
(P. punctiventris) of that section, I have 
amongst other species examined an in- 
sect kindly sent me by Mr. Bold, and 
which he regarded as the P. lucens; this 
insect I find does not agree with a Phi-
