ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. F., Chichester. — We do not know 
of any work we can recommend you on 
the Natural History of Jersey. The in- 
sects of the Channel Islands are not 
considered British. 
A Young Collector is troublesome, 
because anonymous. We do not answer 
anonymous communications. 
C. H., Haggerstone. — Your larva is 
Taleporia pseudobomb ycella ; it should 
now be full-fed ; it is supposed to feed on 
lichens. Darenth Wood is, I believe, 
free to all comers. West Wickham 
Wood you may sometimes be turned out 
of, but the proprietor won’t give any 
orders. 
G. N. H. — We do not feel certain 
about your cases : at any rate their 
former tenants have no doubt had many 
a hearty meal off the insects on your 
setting-boards. 
E. G. C. — See p. 77, 1. 3. “The 
perfect insects fly by day.” 
E. H. — Unidentaria has a black me- 
dial fascia ; in Ferrugaria it is dull rosy ; 
the ochreous slender fasciae are more dis- 
tinct in Unidentaria. Westwood’s Re- 
mutata is a var. of Aversata , totally dis- 
tinct from our old Floslactata, which is 
the Remutaria of Doubleday’s Cata- 
logue. 
F. M. — Cold water is efficient ; why 
go to more trouble ? 
J. P. T. — We cannot account for the 
vagaries of your Cossus larva; it appears 
to be troubled with indecision of charac- 
ter, a great misfortune to man or beast. 
If you suspect the larva of AEsculi to be 
inside a tree, we know of no better 
means of ascertaining whether your sur- 
mise is correct than by cutting down the 
tree and examining it bit by bit : this is, 
however, an expensive proceeding. Any 
Member of the Entomological Society 
can give you an order to view the col- 
lection ; it is open on Mondays from 
2 to 7 p. m. 
Pressure of matter compels us to hold 
over several important communications. 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Cfucroeampa Celerio. — It may perhaps 
be worth mentioning that I have in my 
collection an unrecorded specimen of 
Charocampa Celerio , which I have now 
had some years, aud which was taken 
from the banister of a house in this 
town. — A. Fuller, Brozle House , Chi- 
chester ; May 28, 1856. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I shall be 
happy to supply any one who may want 
them, with Polyommatus Alsus and Ne- 
meobius Lueina, Leiocampa die leva is 
also being taken at lights pretty freely. — 
Arthur Naish, Brooklyn Lodge , Ashley 
Hill , Bristol ; May 30, 1856. 
Polyommatus Argiolus (Lep.). — In 
consequence of the numerous demands 
for this insect my stock is now ex- 
hausted, and as I receive daily applica- 
tions for this insect this notice will save 
parties, still in want of this species, the 
trouble of applying. I shall, however, 
not fail in case of another capture to ap- 
prise you, when I shall feel most happy 
in supplying all who have been disap- 
pointed. — F. Meyer, 17, Sand Street, 
Birmingham ; June 2, 1856. 
Cucul/ia Scrophulariee (Lep.). — Last 
July I found about twenty larvae of C. 
Scrophulariee at St. Leonard’s-on-Sea, 
feeding on the water betony. I bred one 
a week ago; three more have just ap- 
peared, and I hope to rear the others in 
due course. If any of your readers want 
specimens I shall be happy to supply
