ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Subscribers who do not receive the 
‘Intelligencer’ in due course, are 
requested to forward their complaints to 
E. Newman, 9, Devonshire Street, 
Bishopsgate Street. 
Pressure of matter compels us to hold 
over several interesting communications. 
Those who wish to complete their series 
of the ‘Intelligencer’ should do so 
before the end of September, as the num- 
bers will not be sold separately after the 
close of next month. 
Price of Nos. 1 and 2 is twopence 
each : all the remaining numbers may 
still be had at one penny each. 
No. 20 will be the last number of the 
‘ Intelligencer ’ this year. No. 27 will be 
published on Saturday, April 4, 1857, 
price one penny. 
J. J. — You may call the Emperor 
Carpini or Pavonia-minor, whichever 
you please : both are names given to it 
and to nothing else, so that there can he 
no confusion. We dare say some call 
you “James” and some call you “Jim,” 
and you would answer to either name. 
S. B. — Few would adopt a plan of 
keeping their stores of duplicates in a 
relaxed state. Perhaps your friend was 
a had packer. 
R. W. — The larva of Ilicifolia may 
he quite as variable as that of Querei - 
folia : both are troublesome enough to 
describe. 
E. G. C. — Your caterpillar with black- 
ing-brushes along its hack, which pro- 
duced a wingless female, is Orgyia an- 
tique (the Vapourer). The female 
almost invariably lays her eggs on the 
cocoon : see ‘ World of Insects,’ p. 45. 
A. G. M. — There is no misprint, and 
the matter needs no explanation : read 
the sentence again before dinner. 
H. Aris. — Your larva is the Common 
Dagger ( Acronycta Psi) ; it will eat any 
tree or shrub, elm, lime, sloe, &c. 
Erratum. — In last week’s ‘ Intelligen- 
cer,’ p. 180, first column, line 31, for 
“C. J. Fox” read “ Capt. C. J. Cox, 
Q. G.” We are sorry that the composi- 
tor should thus have parodied Box and 
Cox : we suppose it was the alliteration 
of Eordwich House, Fbrdwich, that 
caused it.

Sphinx Convolvuli . — A fine specimen 
of this insect was brought me last
