at Noctorura, Cheshire, where it was not 
scarce. He also exhibited specimens of 
Dianlhaeia ? taken by Messrs. 
Tiltman and Nicholson on the coast of 
Cumberland ; a singular variety of Arclia 
Caja; Walkerii variety of Menlhastri, 
presented to him by Mr. Tiltman ; and 
a series of varieties of Carpophaga, from 
light buff to reddish brown. 
By Mr. Miller, a singular variety of 
Chrysophanus Phlaas. 
By Mr. Hodgkinson, Coleophora Muri- 
nipennella, bred near Preston ; a singular 
variety of Arctia Caja; and a series of 
Grapholita Nisana P fed on white poplar: 
this insect never varies like the sallow- 
catkin feeder, but is always a dull

Cardamines, the larva of which fed upon 
LeguminoscB ; a fine series of Leuco-

phreys, pi. 6, fig. 11. 
The President also exhibited fine series 
of these two species of Leueophasia, 
British, and a number of foreign speci- 
mens of the same genus, including 
L. Lalhyri, Dup., ErysimiP Bork., &c.,* 
from Switzerland, Bavaria and France, 
illustrative of a paper he read upon the 
genus Leueophasia, which paper was 
further illustrated by a series of litho- 
graphic figures he had drawn and 
printed for distribution amongst the 
members. 
The President likewise exhibited a box 
of curious varieties of Abraxas Ulmaria, 
recently added to his collection : one of 
them, obtained from Mr. J. Blakeley, has 
one superior wing unicolorous dark, the 
other singularly white.

AN INSUFFICIENT ADDRESS. 
To the Editor of the ^Intelligencer* 
Sir. — Mr. James Duckworth, of Black- 
well, has very kindly sent me a good 
many specimens of humble bees, and 
offered to do so again next winter. 
My letter of thanks has, however, just

B. lucorum. 
I am, sir. 
Yours obediently, 
John Lubbock.

To the Editor of the * Intelligencer * 
Sir, — The leader on “ Method ” in the 
‘Intelligencer’ of the 13th instant en- 
courages me to ask for assistance in a 
subject which is not generally studied, 
and to which I have been turning 
my attention for the last two or three 
years, viz. the ova of Lepidoptera. 
I see frequently in your pages notices 
that such and such a moth has laid a 
batch of eggs, &c. Now I would feel 
much obliged to any gentleman (who 
would take the trouble) who would write 
out a description of any ova of Lepi- 
doptera that came in his way, and send 
me the descriptions at the end of the
