Water-beetles, up to the present time, 
are extremely scarce; even the most 
common species seem to have vanished. 
Insects in general are far from numerous.

OBSERVATIONS. 
Acidalia inornaia. — In this week’s im- 
pression I see a note from Mr. Batty 
respecting this insect. If any onq has 
reared it on Vaccinium Myrlillus I 
doubt if that would settle the question, 
for I think it can be successfully reared 
on almost any low plant — certainly on 
any of the grasses. I find it occurs most 
in the lower parts of woods and lanes, 
where not a vestige of V. myrtillus can 
be found for miles. I believe it may be 
found wherever its companion, A. aversata, 
is; in fact, I have found all the young 
collectors that I am acquainted with 
have the two species blended together. 
In fairness to Mr. Batty, I ought to say 
it was he that first pointed out the 
dififerences of the two species to myself. 
I and several of my correspondents have 
bred the above-named species this year, 
and find that they do well on Polygonum 
aviculare or grasses : they eat very little 
in the winter months, and are in the 
larva stage a little over ten months, 
which makes them rather tedious to rear.

EXCHANGE. 
Nemeobius Lucina. — I have a few 
duplicates of this insect, for which I 
should be glad to receive ofiers of ex- 
change. Persons wishing to exchange 
had better write first, and those not re- 
ceiving answers within a week must con- 
clude that their offers are not accepted.

Radley, Abingdon, Berks. 
Cucullia Chamomilla. — I have larvse 
of this insect in duplicate, also pupae of 
Epunda lichenea, which I should like to 
exchange for larvae, pupae or good imagos 
of any of the following : — 
Colias Hyale
