THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
they were stored up, being all iu a little 
cavity under the moss. — I bid. 
Pupce of Lusiocampa Trifolii. — I have 
no more left, having sent some to all 
who applied previous to the 17tli: those 
who have applied since I hope to supply 
next season. — J. B. Rydeb, 15, Navi/ 
Row, Morice Town, Devonport ; Juli / 
21, 1856. 
Odonlia Dcntalis (Lep.). — I regret to 
say the food-plant Echium vulgare lias 
been partly destroyed by submersion, and 
I fear the pupa of the insect with it, as 
there is greater scarcity than usual. I 
shall have pleasure in replying to some 
of the many applications received. — A. 
J. Wigginton, Sussex County Hospital, 
Brighton ; July 22, 1856. 
[Our correspondent being overrun with 
applications for Dentalis hopes that 
others will pause before writing; in short 
he exclaims “ Oh don’t you !”] 
Our Native Sweets. — Having lately 
had little success with “sugaring,” I was 
much interested by the two recommenda- 
tions in your last number of the flowers 
of Glyeeria jluitans, and the secretions 
of the Aphides on the beans. I lost no 
time iu trying both these substitutes for 
sugar, and am happy to report favour- 
ably, the moths swarming both amongst 
the beans and among the Glyeeria : 
from the latter plant I have not been so 
successful in capturing the Noctuce I 
have seen, as it grows in such a wet place 
that I cannot very well get at it. — An 
Incipient; July 23, 1856. 
[We perfectly understand the difficulty 
of our correspondent, well knowing the 
sort of places in which the Glyeeria loves 
to grow. We presume “an Incipient” 
has a horror of wetting his feet, or per- 
haps he is a juvenile and would be 
scolded if he did so. Our advice would 
be simply this: that “the Incipient” 
should don a pair of waterproof boots, 
and thus equipped he would find no dif- 
ficulty in reaching the Glyeeria and box- 
ing the moths as they sit on the flowers. 
The Glyeeria, though partial to wet 
places, rarely grows where there is any 
depth of water, however fond it may be 
of soft mud ; but this would prove no 
impediment if our correspondent were 
provided with long fishing-boots over his 
trousers which, by the way, he would 
find very serviceable when walking 
through long grass after heavy rain.] 
Our Native Sweets. — I now know why 
my sugar, so attractive a short time ago, 
is now so unattractive to the Nocture, 
which I found last night swarming at 
“ the swampy edges of ditches and 
ponds.” — A Vectisian ; July 23, 1856. 
MISCELLANEA. 
The Entomological Society. 
Sir, — Will you kindly inform me 
(through the ‘ Intelligencer’) what the 
annual amount of subscription is, and 
the course I should pursue to be made a 
member of the Entomological Society. 
I attended the meeting of the 7th inst., 
and was very much delighted. 
July 8, 1856. Felix. 
Sir, — I am very sorry to see repre- 
sented in the ‘ Intelligencer’ how easy it 
is to introduce oneself into the company 
of entomologists. I presented myself for 
the third time on Monday last, making 
sure, after the invitation put forth in the 
‘ Intelligencer,’ that I should succeed : 
but no ; I was doomed to disappoint- 
ment. 
The first time that I presented myself 
I was told that I could not get admission 
without being introduced, and as 1 knew 
no one there I was obliged to go back 
home. 
The second time I went, which was 
last March, I saw Mr. Foxcroft, whom l 
knew : I told him that 1 wished to see 
the Society’s rooms, and he went up-
