ceming which we get more letters from 
Lepidopterists than can readily be ima- 
gined ; its scientific name is Trichiosoma 
lucorum. We have already written about 
it more than enough. W. C. G. is re- 
ferred to the speech made by T. lucorum 
at the “ Important Meeting of Saw-flies,”

A RING-NET WANTED. 
To the Editor of the ' Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — Can you inform me where I can 
get a ring-net iu London? I want one 
that will turn into a walking-stick, into 
which I can put the cane-ring.

LITHOCOLLETIS QUERCIFOLIELLA. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Sir, — I am quite ashamed of the letter 
which that little upstart creature of a 
Neplicula sent to you last week, but I am 
not surprised when I consider the cha- 
racter of the sender ; it is just what you 
might expect from a member of his 
family, whose adult bearing is full of con- 
sequential self-importance. Poor things ! 
I believe they cannot help it ; it is here- 
ditary, and so they have my pity. He 
says his race is only little by com- 
parison; but the whole family have 
the swagger and strut of little people, 
which I look upon as a kind of com- 
pensation given to them by Providence 
for their insignificant appearance, and 
no other evidence is required to show 
their absolute littleness, because if they 
were really great in their deeds there 
would be nothing to assume. When 
you consider the obscure origin, the res 
angustce domi and tortuous policy of the 
race, the ultimate brilliant appearance of 
the creatures is not a thing to boast of. 
I own they have a very lustrous plumage, 
but my family is quite as old and as 
good as his, and hold up their heads 
with reasou when they think of the 
glorious decorations on their escutcheon, 
where too appears no bar sinister, which 
is more than can be said of some people
