boiled state. 
E. Mi. Will eat Grass. 
“ Glyphica. The larvae from 
some eggs sent me this summer pre- 
ferred Medicb f Medicago lupulina, ) 
and seemed to thrive on it for some 
time, till, one week in August, I 
could not find time to supply them 
with fresh food, when they drooped 
and died. — Rev. J. Hellins, Chap- 
lain s House, County Prison, Exeter. 
Oct. 24.th, 1862. 
To be continued. 
H. Hero and others. Several in- 
sects are expunged from our list 
which formerly were admitted, and 
some people, in consequence, will 
not take the trouble to find out the 
authorities, (as I have, in a few 
instances.) 
Hipparchia Hero is doubted now ? 
though admitted by Haworth, Curtis 
and Stephens. Curtis had a female 
specimen from Plastead, who told him 
that he took it in Ashdown Forest, 
(as also male and female L. Chryseis ) 
and Haworth told me that he saw it 
on the setting board before it was dry. 
I am told that Plastead might have 
relaxed and re-set it. Curtis also had 
Arcanius from Plastead. Some say 
Plastead had several Foreign insects, 
and formerly, what collection had 
not ? Where they could not get 
British specimens, they put in Foreign 
ones, and sometimes an allied species. 
Mr. Stephens among others, adopted 
this plan, having put in, and figured 
as British (see Plate 1.) C alias Philo- 
doce, Gdt. — an American species, 
nearly allied to Hyale , — then in few 
cabinets. 
The true Lycccna Hippothoe, is 
smaller than our British L. Dispar, 
and is without the second discordal 
spot, which the other always has, 
more or less. They may however be 
varieties of the same species. Hip- 
pothoe is a Kentish species, according 
to Haworth; — the other affects Nor- 
folk, Hants, and Beds. — J. C. Dale, 
Gian. Wootton, Sherborne, Dorset. 
CAPTURES. 
CoLEOPTERA. 
D. Emarginata and others. Our 
friends with Coleopterous propensities 
are somewhat quiet, — possibly they 
have not yet recovered from the time 
consumed and the fatigue occasioned, 
by the gigantic effort to do the British 
and Foreign Galleries, at the Exhibi- 
tion, as they deserve, or the still more 
wearisome task of hunting up the 
wonders of nature and of man’s in- 
ventive genius, or of certain products 
of known or little known regions, that 
may especially excite each individual’s 
desire, as interest or taste may di- 
rect, from amongst the interminable 
maze of ordinary and extraordinary
