this country.” I can assure him 
that it has been bred in this country, 
not only by myself, but also, I believe, 
by others in the North. I last year 
bred several specimens from larvce 
obtained from Sherwood Forest. —

Euperia Fulvago. — In your num- 
ber, July 25, a doubt was expressed 
by the Rev. Joseph Greene, as to 
whether any one had previously 
bred Euperia fulvago, in this country. 
Permit me to say that I figured 
larvce of that species on June 21, 
from which the perfect insects ap- 
peared during the last week in 
July and the first week in August 
of last year. 
The larvce fed on birch were semi- 
transparent, but especially the head 
and three following segments in 
each of them, which were much 
paler than the rest of their bodies. 
Anteriorly they were of a pale 
ochreous green, which gradually 
blended at the fourth segments into 
each of them, which were much 
paler than the rest of their bodies. 
Anteriorly they were of a pale 
ochreous green, which gradually 
blended at the fourth segments into 
a greenish-grey tint, which coloured 
the remaining segments ; the dorsal, 
sub-dorsal, and spiracular lines were 
thin and whitish. 
The larvae were most kindly sent 
me by friends at York and Exeter, 
early in June, 1862. — Vm. Buckler,
