DOINGS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 
OF STETTIN. 
(Continued from,p. 87.) 
The day after our return to Stettin an 
excursion was made to Julow and Frau- 
endorf; here we found the leaves of 
Aira eoespitosa abundantly tenanted by 
larvae, which I imagine are those of 
Elachista Airce; we also found a few 
paler larvae in the same leaves, which are 
probably Elachista albifrontella ; in a 
damp part of the wood, just in such a 
locality as I found it six years ago at 
Hokendorf, we stumbled on Chauliodus 
Illigerellus ; the larvae were about full 
fed ; a few had crept into the unex- 
panded flower-heads to revel on the 
young buds. In this part of the wood 
we found many plants of Rhamnus fran- 
gula, and I searched for drooping shoots 
like those noticed at Guildford three years 
ago, but without success, though why I 
cannot understand, as a specimen of 
Laverna Rkamnella taken in this neigh- 
bourhood was shown me. On Genista 
tinctoria I fancied I saw traces of larvae of 
Gelechia lentiginosella, but no larvae 
were visible, — perhaps it is already too 
late; of Coleophora Vibicella we saw no 
symptoms, but I found one larva of the 
Coleophora of the G. tinctoria, which the 
Frankfort entomologists call Onobry- 
chiella. One of the parly (Herr Miller) 
dislodged, by sweeping amongst tbe 
Genista, some specimens of Cemiostoma 
Wailesella. Orobus niger grows freely in 
this wood, and as a specimen of Grad- 
laria Imperialella was taken here last 
June, Dr. Schleich and Herr Hering 
are fully determined to find the larva 
here before the end of the season. 
We then turned away from the wood 
to a more open part of the country, 
where I noticed a strange Centaurea, 
which I was told was C. paniculata ; this 
is the plant which Professor Zeller ima- 
gines produces Parasia Paucipunctella . 
We were now steering for the precise 
spot where, in 1855, Professor Zeller and 
I had met with the larva of Coleophora 
Ballotella on the Ballota nigra (though 
at the time I believe we both mistook it 
for that of C. ochripennella) ; Professor 
Zeller had indicated to the Lepidopterisls 
here the locality so precisely that they 
had no difficulty in taking me direct to 
the spot, where, alas ! however, no larvse 
were to be found. Possibly in 1855 
Professor Zeller or I had been so greedy 
in collecting the larvte, which are pretty 
conspicuous, that we had extirpated the 
brood ; certainly I had never then ex- 
pected to come back to the identical spot 
in search of it. 
To compensate for this disappoint- 
ment, the next day I found the larvae of 
C. Ballotella, in some plenty, close to the 
town of Stettin, and they are now feeding 
very comfortably on Ballota placed in 
water on the table before me.

Stettin, June. 7, 1861. 
NEAR SOUTHAMPTON. 
About three miles out of Southampton, 
on the road to Winchester, in a lane 
leading from the main road by the side 
of a plantation, the boundary of the de- 
mesne is formed by a high sandy bank.
