will oblige by first writing. — J. Sang,

Madeiran Coleoptera. — In Coleoptera 
I am quite an incipient, but I have sent 
home the few I can name and the under- 
mentioned duplicates, as I should like 
to enter into correspondence with any one 
who would like to have Madeiran types, 
of various orders, in return for well-set 
British Rhopalocera, nearly any of which 
I shall be glad to receive, as most of my 
own collecting were very much damaged 
in the voyage, and my moths not being 
so I want to fill up the gap. The 
apterous tendency and variation from 
climatal causes will make even the 
common insects interesting, I should 
think. Now is the best time to com- 
mence, as I can return boxes by means 
of friends going home for the summer, 
thereby saving carriage. I should thank 
correspondents to mention if unset speci- 
mens will do as well as those mounted on 
card, as, being an invalid, I have many 
more of the former than of the latter, 
owing to the time and stooping required. 
Lastly, can any of the readers of the 
‘ Intelligencer’ give me an entomological 
introduction to anybody at Madeira (or 
at Lisbon, as I intend making a trip or 
two occasionally) ? If so I shall be very 
thankful. Letters will be forwarded to 
me if addressed to my cousin, F. Mac- 
donald, Esq., 36, Harrington Square, 
Hampstead Road, London.

Notes and Queries on some Insects 
COLLECTED IN MADEIRA, DURING 
January, February and March, 
1859. 
Colias Edusa. Abundant. 
C. ? A very curious variety of 
Edusa or else a nondescript. As yet only 
one, and unfortunately a damaged speci- 
men. I have seen one other in another 
entomologist’s cabinet. 
Pieris Brassicie. Common but not 
abundant. 
Hipparchia ? A fixed geo- 
graphical modification of H. Semele, ac- 
cording to Mr. W ollaston. I have not 
seen any Continental specimens, and the 
variation, in the absence of intermediate 
grades, is certainly very considerable. I 
have yet to see the larvie. 
ArgynnisLathonia. Smaller and darker 
at base of wings than in England, and 
with a tendency to an increase of silvery 
markings on under side. Scarce. 
Vanessa Callirhoe. Common. 
V. Atalanta. Not common. 
Chrysophanus Phlaeas. Smaller, darker 
and much more suffused than in Eng- 
land. Common. 
Thecla Quercus ? Abundant.
