THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCE!!. 
has overlooked some entomologist who 
would wish to join the party ; if so, we 
hope any individual who wishes to join 
the excursion will commuuicate with us, 
and will not he incensed at his not 
having already received an invitation. 
“ Accidents will occur to the steadiest of 
men,” and the omission to invite some 
distinguished individual may have been 
quite accidental ; therefore the omitted 
will act wisely to apply to us. 
We remember a curious instance of 
accidental omission which occurred to 
the editor of ‘ The Entomologist’s An- 
nual’: in compiling the list of entomolo- 
gists, the name of a distinguished votary 
of entomological science was accident- 
ally omitted ; here was an offence ; the 
injured party was highly indignant, and 
wrote to all his friends to complain of 
the slight put upon him, fearing, no 
doubt, that the revising barristers and 
agents would be chuckling at his name 
having been expunged from the register.

ligencer may be obtained

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
B. W. P. — Cycnia meiulica will no 
doubt feed on the species of mint (Mentha), 
willow-herb ( Epilobium ), or other plants 
growing by the sides of ditches. 
J. O. — You can buy Daplidice, An- 
t.iopa and Dispar, if you are not particular 
about their being British ; there are no 
British specimens on sale. 
A Beginner. — We cannot name your 
larvae ; but as they seem to be spinning 
up we will let you know to what they 
change. 
W. W. — P. falcula larva feeds on 
birch, alder, oak, Sec . ; P. hamula on oak 
and birch: change in a cocoon between 
leaves. 
T. F. W. — Your Fritillary larvae pro- 
bably fed on some low-growing plant 
near the grass on which you found them ; 
they are not known to eat grass. 
W. B. — What arc the markings on the 
under side of your butterfly which re- 
sembles P. Alexis? Refer to the Table 
in the ‘ Manual,’ and say in which section 
of (he genus you would place it. Huphro- 
syne is apt to vary. In Dia the ground- 
colour of the under side of hind-wing is 
violet , and there are three or four silvery 
spots along the centre. You will pro- 
bably find many who want Artemis; it 
is a local insect. Write to some offerer
