A Caution to those in search of Myelois 
Pinguis, — T believe I was the first person 
who discovered the habitat of Myelois 
Pinguis, in the Regent’s Park, some few 
years back. I look some specimens there 
last evening, and while collecting them 
was accosted by one of the keepers, who 
had been watching me very attentively ; 
he asked if I was the person who had cut 
the bark off the trees P this I answered in 
the negative. It would be as well, for 
the sake of Entomology, if collectors 
would not mutilate the trees ; for, if this 
practice is continued, I feel assured we 
shall be warned ofif, if nothing worse 
happens to us. — A. Coopee, R.A., 19, 
New Millman Street ; Sept. 2. 
Chloephora Quercana. — On the 27th of 
this month I beat a specimen of this in- 
sect from ivy, at the fool of Leigh Woods, 
about three miles below Rownham Ferry.

Hyponomeuta vigintipunclatus. — T am
