THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
amazing quantity of insect life, of all 
orders, that he has unwittingly collected, 
Coleophora sp. ? — Last spring I 
found at Forest Hill a long, slightly 
curved, dirty whitish case feeding on 
Centaure.a nigra. This was yonng, and 
I belive came to an untimely end, and I 
have since been unable to find another. 
Micro-Lepidopterists should be on the 
look out. 
In conclusion, I would hint that the 
Phryganidee are now out, and will no 
doubt often fall in the way of Lepi- 
dopterists. If they will pin those they 
take, and if, from want of time, they are 
unable to set them, send them to me un- 
set; I shall be greatly obliged, though 
set specimens are always more acceptable, 
as I find these creatures do not relax 
well.
