EXCHANGE. 
Ova of Smerinthus Oeellalus . — I have 
a brood of fertilized ova of this insect; 
any juvenile desirous of rearing it can 
have a batch of the eggs by sending a 
stamped and ready-addressed envelope. — 
George Gascoyne, Newark; May 27, 
1861. 
Ova of Endromis Versicolor . — I have 
been entirely unsuccessful with this in- 
sect : only one female emerged, who 
waited a fortnight for a mate, and ulti- 
mately died of the complaint caused by 
“hope deferred.” I have examined the 
pupae, and find them perfectly healthy. 
I infer that they intend remaining over 
until another spring. I shall hold the 
envelopes for another occasion. It is 
yet too early for Cucullina . — Ibid. 
Abraxas yrossulariata . — I have pupae 
of the above-mentioned moth to spare, 
of which I shall be happy to send a few 
to any one in need of them. Applicants 
to send small box and return postage. — 
W. Lang, 2, John Street, Hamilton, N. B. 
Exchanye . — I have larvae of P. Mo- 
nacha, T. Cratayi and A. Ajirilina for 
exchange. Ova, pupae, larvae and imagos 
acceptable. — E. Tearle, Gainsborouyli. 
A DAY AT LYMINGTON SALTERNS. 
Being recently at Southampton, I 
went one day across the water to “the 
Salterns,” about two miles beyond Lym- 
ington. Alas! this hunting-ground, be- 
loved of Dawson and Wollaston, will 
soon be no more: there is but one 
Saltern left, all having been relinquished 
aud broken up, because they did not pay, 
and the remaining one will soon cease to 
work. This information I got out of an 
old fellow who was vvalking about with a 
spade in his hand, opening and shutting 
the communications between one basin 
and another; and, as soon as he dis- 
covered what I was at, he volunteered 
some particulars about certain prede- 
cessors of mine in entomological experi- 
ments on that ground, which, as there is 
some reason to believe they are true, and 
not to their credit, I shall say nothing 
about. True is it that a man uncon- 
sciously leaves photographic images of 
himself wherever he goes, and that, 
under particular circumstances, these 
life-pictures become visible to others, 
often the last persons in the world that 
the “object” represented would wish to 
view them. 
Well, with all the hints of famous 
places for insects that this old salt could 
give me, I got nothing, during several 
hours’ search, worth mentioning. In 
vain I turned over clods, bricks or stones ; 
there vvas nothing better than Nebria 
brevicoliis and Harpalus obsoletus. So I 
sat down in disgust, and turned my 
thoughts aud eyes avvay from terrestrial 
things ; after a journey in space, long 
if measured by distance, but short by 
time (after the fashion of many sublunary 
travels on wheels), my eyes reverted to 
the earth, and my thoughts soon fol-
