TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
.loHN Wu.'io^, ILall(;arth St., Durham. 
— The ‘ Intelligencer’ cannot be for- 
warded to reach Durham on any par- 
ticular day : it is posted every Thursday 
afternoon, and the Post-oflicc autliorities 
will deliver it when convenient. We 
venture to hope other correspondents who 
wish to receive it on “ Sunday morning 
at breakfast time,” on Monday, Thursday, 
Friday or Saturday, wilt take this as a 
general reply. Mr. Wilton’s statement 
that his friend “ never receives it until a 
week after it is published” is indicative 
of a chronic infirmity both of body and 
mind in the Durham letter-carrier. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera. 
Callimorpha Jacobcem. — I had a speci- 
men of this insect brought me on the 
21st instant, which had just been taken 
by a non-entomologist in his garden. 
The specimen is in very good condition, 
and seemingly only just emerged. — R. G. 
Keeley, 11, Sydney Terrace, Marlboro' 
Road, Chelsea, S. W. ; March 27. 
Cyrnatophora Flavicomis. — Fifteen 
specimens of this insect have been cap- 
tured within the last few days in a fir 
plantation, in which there are birch trees. 
A north-west wind was blowing at the 
time. — J. Norton, Storthes Hall, near 
Huddersfield; March 2^. 
Nyssia Hispidaria. — On the 1 8th inst., 
after four hours very diligent search, I 
succeeded in capturing near here five 
males and two females of this species. 
One of the males is beautifully bordered 
with white on all the wings, and is a 
very large specimen, much larger than 
any of the others. I have been several 
times since in search, but not the ghost of 
an Hispidaria to be seen ; I suppose it 
is on account of the stormy weather. — 
.James Batty, 13.3, South Street, Park, 
Sheffield ; March 25. 
Nyssia Hispidaria. — During the past 
month we have, amongst us, captured 
ten specimens of this insect (male and 
female). We hope to take more, as it 
appears by no means over. — J. B. Black- 
burn, 'I'. Blackburn, S. Leigh, Altrinc- 
ham, Cheshire; March 30.
