134 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
raunication respecting a singular mode 
of reposing observed during the eclipse 
last Wednesday, and desires me to fur- 
nish the name of the bee so discovered : 
it is Nomada ochrostoma, a female of the 
species. I may add that, a fortnight 
ago, on one of the dull mornings, — of 
which we have had so many lately, — I 
saw the same species of Nomada sus- 
pended at the side of Bishop’s Wood, 
Hampstead. I suspect it is not an un- 
common mode of reposing, but I never 
observed it before, although others have, 
and have published their observations. 
Mr. Slone asks me to add any observa- 
tions of my own : the above is all I have 
10 record, — F. Smith, British Museum;

EXCHANGE. 
Phraymatobia FuUyinosa . — I have a 
quantity of larvte of the above, also a 
few images of Hepialus Heclus, to ex- 
change for any local species; ova, larvae 
or pup® preferred. Gentlemen will 
please write first, stating what they have 
to offer. Those not hearing from me in 
the course of a week must conclude I am 
not in want of the species offered by 
them. — George Nash, JBlossomyale, 
Itipon ; July 20. 
Illustrations of Mines, ^c., wanted . — 
Would any gentleman be so kind as to 
send me any mined leaves or cases of 
larv® ? I want them for a public ex- 
hibition on the 8th and 9ih of August. 
I should be greatly obliged to any gentle- 
man who would assist me with any of the 
conspicuous leaves. There is to be an 
exhibition of children’s work and fancy 
articles at the Loitdon public school, and 
they have applied to me for the loan of 
specimens of Natural Hi.story, and for a 
short explanation on some of the most 
important, and I think there would be 
great interest in these, if 1 can get 
several together : the proceeds are to be 
given to the school children. — William 
Winter, Aldeby, near Beccles ; July 23,
