178 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Half the troubles of young Barnes 
arose from his impatience to have a 
first-rate collection in no time. Had 
he stuck systematically to his own 
proper work it is not impossible he 
might have made a better collection 
more quickly. 
The Entomologist’s Weekly Intel- 
ligencer may be obtained 
Wholesale of E. Newman, 9 Devon- 
shire Street, Bishopsgate, and of 
W, Kent Co. 51 & 52 Pater- 
noster Row.

TO CORRESPONDENTS, 
C. W. P. — We cannot guess what 
larvc'e Nos. 1 and 2 arc; No. .3 was no 
doubt the Small Eggar (^Rriogaster 
I.anestris'), 
C. W. R. R. — Larva No. 1 is certainly 
Lasiocampa Rubi ; No. 3 is probably 
Eriogaster Lanestris ; No. 2 and No. 4 
we do not recognise. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera, 
Arge Galathea. — I took thirteen speci- 
mens of this insect in an open space of 
about thirty yards on the Undercliff, Isle 
of Wight, in about thirty or forty minutes. 
They are all in fine condition. I have 
only seen one (which I took) away from 
this spot. — J. J. Runtz, Shanklin, Isle 
of Wight; August 28. 
Sphinx Convolvuli. — On the 31st of 
August, after having had an uni)rofitable 
walk of three miles sugaring, I thought 
I would take a walk round my garden, 
when, to my surprise, I saw a Sphinx 
Convolvuli flying over my Petunias, 
which I captured. — Rev. G. R. Read, 
StUton -on- Derwent, York; Sept. 3. 
Leucania Putrescens. — Last night I 
was fortunate enough to take a fine spe- 
cimen of this insect, about a quarter of a 
mile from the place where I took them 
before. It is more than a month later 
than I took the species last year, in con- 
sequence, I suppose, of the bad weather. 
I found it on the flowers of Teucriutn 
Scorodonia, which plant is very attrac- 
tive to moths in general. — R. M. 
Stewart, 3, Park Place, Torquay, 
Devon ; August 28. 
Leucania Putrescens. — Since my last 
communication I have taken two more 
specimens of L. Putrescens ; they are 
both apparently fresh from the pupa. — 
Ibid ; Sept. 3. 
Apamea Connexa. — This species has 
occurred near here in abundance ; from 
the 22nd inst. we have taken upwards of 
four hundred specimens in Haw Park. — 
W. Talbot, Crystal Place, Wakefield; 
August 27.
