LONGEVITY OF LARVAE. 
To the Editor of the ‘Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — Allow me to eorroborate your 
remarks upon the singular longevity 
of the genus Coleophora in the larva 
stale. 
In the course of last autumn I col- 
lected a large quantity of the larvas of 
several of the common kinds, viz . ; — 
Coleophora solitariella, 
... albitarsella, 
... Gryphipennella, 
... Alcyonipennella, 
... Argentula, 
... Caespititiella, 
to which I added, during the months of 
May and J une, in the present year, — 
Coleophora Troglodytella, 
... Limosipennella, 
... Badiipennella, 
... Palliatella, 
... Currueipennella, 
... saturatella, 
... lineolea, 
... lutipennella, 
... fuscedinella. 
All these have been very carefully 
bred in open, exposed glass cylinders, 
and the following is at present the 
result : —

This is a very discouraging result, as 
Uhe breeding of these little creatures 
takes up a good deal of time and gives 
considerable trouble; still I take com- 
iJbrt from your leader, and shall cer- 
tainl 
larvae 
not throw away my Coleophora
