THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

so; E'. DofoSran'a, three specimens ; A, 
Prunaria, about twenty, including a few 
good varieties. One day last week I had 
the good fortune to secure a good batch 
of A. Gilvaria (Straw Belle), and at the 
same time five specimens of Ornala, the 
second brood this year. On Saturday 
afternoon last I took a ramble, with the 
‘Intelligencer’ in my pocket, and was 
just reading your remarks about Colias 
Edusa, when I had the pleasure of be- 
holding, I should think, a score or two 
flying about a clover field : I captured 
nine only, for they flew, I believe, swifter 
than ever, or I should have netted more. 
I have lately been to some trouble and 
expense in getting up beds of white 
Petunias, for the benefit of the grand- 
children of some of my deceased friends, 
with whom I made acquaintance the 
year before last — I mean S. Convolvuli — 
to the number of seventy (what a Goth 
some will think me!) ; but I am content 
to be called a Goth, for 1 have enjoyed 
as much pleasure and excitement from 
netting S. Convolvuli, during the time, 
as I have from a day’s shooting or hunt- 
ing. They are noble fellows on the wing, 
darting hither and thither, and even when 
you have them in the net, what with their 
strength and dislike of imprisonment, 
they are a little trouble to handle. Up 
to the present time I have taken only 
two, fine females, in beautiful condition. 
Since writing the above I have had this 
evening a stroll > round my Petunia 
beds. I saw three at once on one bed. 
I captured one, missed another, and 
another escaped from my net; so that 
j the grandchildren are putting in an ap- 
I pearance. A correspondent, in the last 
week’s ‘ Intelligencer,’ says one must not 
expect to eat the cake and have it, which 
is true ; but I beg to say that the year 
before last I threw out of my net many 
female specimens of N. Convolvuli, and 
males too, that were not good enough for 
a cabinet. I shall feel great pleasure in 
giving any information to gentlemen 
respecting the localities for insects here- 
abouts. — Sa MDEL Stonestreet, R.E.D.,
