Change of Address. — Having left 
town for the summer, our address is 
now — C. & J. Fenn, Grove House, Lewis- 
ham ; April 13. 
Erratum. — I find my change of ad- 
dress was printed in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ 
No. 16, Holford Street, Globe Fields, 
Mile End : it should have been No. 10. — 
W. Machin.

CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera. 
Gastropacha ilicifolia. — Last August 
I look two larvae of this insect; a month 
ago I put them into a little warmth in 
the greenhouse, and they both came out 
perfect last week, but unfortunately both 
are males. — George Baker, Broadjield 
Nursery, Sheffield; April 9. 
Biston prodromaria. — On Thursday, 
the 5th instant, when walking lb rough 
Eastham Wood (the Richmond of the 
Mersey), I discovered, on one of the old 
oaks, a fine specimen of B. prodromajria, 
having just emerged, and on making 
further search found two more, all males, 
and very fine. The season for insects 
appears very backward in Lancashire. — 
Thomas Galliers, 9, Brenton Street, 
Park Road, Liverpool. 
Elachista maynificella. — Yesterday I 
determined to have a good search 
amongst the leaves of Luzula pilosa for 
the larvae of Elachista magnijicella, and 
after doubling up my perambulators for 
four hours I was glad to cry “enough:” 
upon arriving home and taking stock I 
found I was in possession of twenty-seven 
larvae of this little beauty. — C. Healv, 
71, Napier Street, Hoxton, N. ; April 9. 
Doings in Devonshire. — I bred Endro- 
mis versicolora about three weeks ago ; 
three specimens, two males and one 
female ; they were reared from eggs sent 
me from Brighton last year. I have also 
bred Ennomos illunaria, Biston hirtaria 
and Eupithecia pumilata ; the latter in- 
sect from larvae taken off ragwort last 
September: unfortunately 1 took no de- 
scription of the larvae at the time; but, as 
far as I can recollect, they were pale green, 
with darker dorsal and spiracular lines 
and reddish lozenge-shaped spots on 
the back. I have taken Biston prodro- 
maria, Xylocampa lithoriza and Anticlea 
badiata. The weather has been so wet 
and windy that the sallows have been 
utterly ruined, so I have taken no Tcenio- 
campce. I have not even seen Pieris 
Rapce or Lasiommata JEgeria yet. Pieris 
Brassicee and Anthocharis Cardamines 
were both out abundantly by the 5th of 
April last year! Some eggs 1 have of 
Diloba cceruleocephala and Ptilophora 
plumigera hatched to-day ; I am afraid 
the latter must starve, as I can find none 
of their food in leaf : I have supplied 
them with some buds which seem ready 
to burst, and I hope they will manage to 
exist for a day or two on them till the 
leaves open. These larvae, when just 
hatched, are pale lemon-colour, thickly 
covered with yellowish hairs, with a dark 
greenish spot at the vent; the hair dis- 
appears after the first change. The larvae 
of D. caruleocephala, at the same age, 
are black, with rather lighter coloured 
hairs. — G. F. Mathew, Raleigh House, 
Barnstaple ; April 3. 
Coleoptera. 
Capture of Rhyncolus trimcorum . — 
What pleasure a hungry man has on 
seeing a good dinner spread before him, 
and with what a wonderfully serene 
aspect, after having dined off it, and 
picked liis teeth with the quill, which he 
always carries in his right-hand waist- 
coat-pocket for this purpose, he turns
