bourbood of Dresden. We accordingly 
walked to the village of Plauen, and 
there scrambling up a very slippery hill- 
side we came to a little thicket where 
there was a great variety of growth. 
Silene nutans was here in profusion, but 
Micropieryx was the main thing to look 
for, and soon Dr. Staudinger found some 
birch leaves tenanted by larvae of that 
genus ; these, I fancy, from their period of 
appearance, must be the larvae of Micro- 
pteryx Sparmannella ; their mine is very 
peculiar, as the incipient portion of it is 
so precisely like the mine of a Nepticula 
larva. Most of those we collected had 
not commenced the regular blotch, and 
it was difficult to persuade oneself that 
the young larvae were not really Nep- 
ticulte. Those who have already noticed 
the extraordinary similarity between Mi- 
cropteryx and Nepticula will be interested 
to hear of this further point of resem- 
blance. 
On the Genista tinctoria we found 
some very juvenile larvae of Cemiostoma 
Wailesella; but they seem to feed up 
very rapidly, as some of these are now 
already in pupa here, having taken to 
the journey very kindly. I do not re- 
member that we found anything else of 
note on that occasion, and in the after- 
noon we returned to Dresden, and I then 
parted with regret from Dr. Staudinger 
and Professor Fritzsche, and came on 
the same evening to Leipzig.
