THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST.

Carpocapsa Splendana , Woodford, 
near a row of oak trees. 
I quite agree in tlie general 
opinion about sugaring. Sucb species 
as Polyodon and Maura are about 
the general run of my captures, 
and very few of them. No doubt, 
they find it very good fun, for I 
never disturb them. The neighbour- 
hood of Chingford lias been, I think, 
a shade better than Woodford. I 
had an evening there with my 
friend, Dr. Gill, and we did see a 
few adventurous Diffinis. 
I beat a variety of Epliyra Punc- 
taria, some time since in Epping 
Forest. This is a grand district 
for the Ephyras ; but the Forest is 
neither as large nor as productive 
as formerly. — J. B. Blackbukn. 
EXCHANGE, ETC- 
PupoB of G. Gurtula. — I have a 
number of pupae of this species, and 
should be glad to exchange them 
for eggs of L. Pictea or P. Monacha. 
Any entomologist desirous of ex- 
changing is requested to write first, 
in order to prevent disappointment. 
— Robert Dewse, Marol Street , 
Groves, Yorlc. 
Noctuce in Duplicate. — I have 
duplicates of A. Valligera and A. 
Tritici , also a few M. Literosa, which 
I shall he glad to give to anyone 
sending box and return postage. 
I have also a few specimens of 
P. Pulchrina , for which I shall be 
glad to receive offers. Parties are 
requested not to send boxes for this 
insect, before writing, and receiving 
an answer from me, as I have not 
many. — Richard Merryweather, 
Towry Wall, Hartlepool. 
Gratuitous Distribution. — I have 
the following insects to spare, and 
shall be glad to hear from anyone to 
whom they will be useful. If 
any of my wants, which are nume- 
rous, are sent, I will pay post- 
age one way. Those who have 
none of my desiderata must send 
return postage ; but none must send 
a box before writing, as I have very 
few of some species : —
