THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Captures near Perth . — I take the liberty 
of sending you a list of my first month’s 
recordable captures, on Braes of Gowrie, 
near Killspindie. 
Polyommatus Alsus. Very abundant. 
„ Artaxerxes. Two speci- 
mens asleep on marsh plants. 
Melitaea Artemis. Abundant in a moist 
part of a moor. 
Leucophasia Sinapis. Visiting marsh 
plants in a wood. — W illiam Stewart, 
227, High Street, Perth ; June 28. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Lozopera Francillana. — I am now 
breeding this insect from larvae feeding 
in stems of wild carrot. I have also bred 
a few specimens of the beautiful A. JEne- 
ana ; the larva is excessively subject to 
ichneumons. — D. T. B. 
Depressaria Larvae. — I see you ignore 
my having bred D. Ciliella from the 
larva I sent you from Probus last year ; 
but I think there is no doubt about 
them, the only difficulty being my having 
bred D. Yeatiana from a larva taken at 
the same time and place, which I had 
put aside as slightly different. — T. Boyd, 
17, Clapton Square ; July 4. 
Getechia pictella bred. — The larvae 
mentioned in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ No. 140, 
p. 77, has produced this species, both 
Mr. Stainton and myself having bred it: 
mine, of course, all came out during my 
absence from home ; and there they lay, 
stiffened creatures, alongside one or 
two of the Volunteer Rifle Corps, alias 
ichneumons. — John Scott, Southfield 
Villas, Middlesbro'-on- Tees ; June 28. 
Gelechia Brizella bred. — When at 
Brighton, at the latter end of last year, 
I collected a few heads of Statice, in 
which were larvae of what I suspected 
would produce this species; and I have 
now the satisfaction of recording that the 
above insect is making its appearance in 
my breeding-cages. — Ibid. 
Humble Bee's Nest wanted. — I should 
be much obliged to any gentleman who 
would send me a nest (full of larvae, &c.), 
of any of our humble bees, except Bombus 
muscorum. I shall be willing to pay 
any expenses incurred in transmitting the 
nest.— J ohn Lubbock, High Elms, Farn- 
borough, Kent ; July 4. 
EXCHANGE. 
Polyommatus Avion. — I beg to inform 
those who have written to me about this 
species, and to whom I have not as yet 
returned an answer, that I have sent away 
and promised all my specimens in dupli- 
cate, and therefore am not able to comply 
with their request by sending specimens 
to them, but hope to write to them at 
some future time. — W. H. Comyns, 
Wolseley Villa, Cheltenham ; June 29. 
Eriogasler Lanestris. — Does any one 
want larva) of E. Lanestris P If so, send 
box with return postage. — J. Hawley, 
55, Hall Gate, Doncaster. 
Leucania Pudorina . — I have fine spe- 
cimens of this insect to spare, and shall 
be most happy to exchange them for any 
of the following, as numbered in the 
‘Manual’:— 20, 42, 44, 50, 59, 62, 75, 
86, 88, 90, 100, 101, 102, 1 19, 124, 125, 
140, 155, 168, 182, 206, 220, 221, 223, 
238, 241, 255, 311, 314, 321,344,379, 
382, 386, 401, 428, 435, 445, 446, 450, 
470, 482, 489, &c. — W. Brest, 7, Castle- 
gate, York ; June 28. 
Micro Ostrina . — The enquiries I have 
had about Micra Ostrina and Perm are 
so numerous, I shall feel much obliged 
if you will permit me to give an answer 
through the ‘ Intelligencer.’ I am sorry 
to say we have met with no trace of either 
this season, although we have searched 
most carefully for the last month, and 1 
believe that Mr. Metcalf has been equally 
unsuccessful. Luctuosa has been abun- 
dant, and if any of my former correspon- 
dents or others wish for fresh specimens,
