THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
having thus gratified my curiosity, 
I placed it with lichen in a separate 
box. On this lichen it undoubtedly 
fed. 
I then repaired for refreshment, 
and there being no railways near, 
retraced my weary steps over twenty 
miles of ground. 
Description — Larva. — A looper> 
taken the latter end of May, taken 
in June, and individual specimens 
in July. Imago. — Taken on July 
25, and indifferent specimens taken 
far on in August. 
Larva. — Scarcely an inch long ; a 
beautiful light green ; quite smooth, 
noliumpsonits back; very stoutly 
made and extremely sluggish ; dotted 
over its back with orbicular spots, 
equal in size, giving it a beautiful 
appearance, dots about the size of a 
pin head, No. 8 of Edelsten and 
Williams ; the spots not in a straight 
line, but irregularly scattered over 
each segment ; dots jet black ; the 
sides are marked alike, and are en- 
tirely without dots, but in their 
place they are marked with a num- 
ber of short lines, colour also jet 
black ; the head yellowish white 
very small, and of a flattish appear- 
ance ; belly pale green. 
It did not change among the 
lichen like its congener, G. Uchenaria, 
but on the bottom of the jar. Ob- 
tained the larva on the 14th of 
June, changed to pupa on the 16th. 
Chrysalis half an inch long, slender 
made, greenish at first, light brown 
after, and ultimately a plum colour. 
The porfect insect appeared on July 
4, three weeks in chrysalis and 
three weeks earlier than when in the 
open air, having been kept at the 
window, exposed to the sun, in a 
warm room. Hunter, Barnes, 
Main, aud other entomologists here 
have seen the insect alive on the 
day it first appeared. — Thomas Arm-

C. Curtula double-brooded. — Read- 
ing the query of the Rev. Percy 
Andrews, in last Saturday’s “Weekly 
Entomologist,” I would state in reply 
that eggs of C. curtula, sent me by 
Mr. Porteous, on May 17, hatched 
ou the 25th of the same month ; the 
larvae commenced spinning up on 
June 24, and the first five imagos 
emerged on the 11th of this month, 
since which date they have been 
continuing to come out, thus evi- 
dently determining the species to be 
double brooded in confinement, what- 
ever they may be in their natural 
state. To-day (the 27th) I have 
eggs of Curtula hatching from this 
second brood. — Col. Stewart, Eldon 
Villa, JRedland, Bristol, July 27,

Euperia Fulvago. — In the “Weekly 
Entomologist,” of July 25th, the 
Rev. Joseph Greene, in speaking of 
this insect, says, “ I doubt whether 
this insect has hitherto been bred in
