THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Acrolepia Betuletella. — I have Lad 
agaiu the pleasure of taking this speeies 
at Castle Eden, a very fine specimen ; 
this was beaten from yew, as was also the 
one I took last year: I suppose it had 
gone there for shelter. The part of the 
Dene where I took this one is quite three 
miles from where the other was taken, 
so the locality does not seem very re- 
stricted. It darts about when beat out, 
just like Cerostoma Radiatella, and looks 
like a small dark one when flying. I 
found also a few larvae of Tinea Bi- 
strigella. — John Sang, Darlington ;

Salicis, 
I have made many, but I am sorry to say 
unsuccessful, searches for Daplidice and 
Lathonia in the localities where those 
species were captured in former seasons. 
Sphinx Convolvuli has been no rarity 
here; but I have been unable to obtain 
a decent specimen. Two or three indi- 
viduals have been brought me, but they 
were such rakish-looking animals I could 
not think of introducing them to the 
select society of my cabinet. Mr. King, 
of the Colchester Grammar School, took 
a specimen a short time since, and I be- 
lieve others have been more fortunate 
than myself. I was much surprised, 
some time ago, on opening a cocoon of 
Saturnia Carpini, to find tioo pupce very 
snugly enclosed : the only supposition I 
can offer towards the elucidation of this 
remarkable occurrence is, that having 
several larvae in my breeding-cage at the 
same time, two of congenial ideas entered 
into partnership and built a mutual 
habitation. I am bound to say there 
was no love in the case, siuce both the 
individuals were gentlemen. — W. H. Har- 
wood, St. Peter's, Colchester ; Oct. 12.
