THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
23 
de la Societe Entomologique de France,’ 
1856, p. 29, is an account of some hybrid 
specimens of Cerura vinula and ertninea , 
and a figure of one of the specimens is 
there given, pi. i. fig. 2. I have heard 
also of the occurrence of hybrids between 
Salurnia Spini and Carpini. Muetzell 
has described in ‘ Wiegman’s Archivs,’ 
under the name of Deilephila phileu- 
phorbia, a hybrid between Euphorbia 
and Galii ; and D. vesperliloidcs is sug- 
gested as a hybrid between Vespertilio 
and Galii or Euphorbia. — De. Hagen,

YOUNG BARNES’ LAST. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘ INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — I have been unfortunate enough 
to “turn up” a rare moth in some num- 
bers, and have done my best to supply 
all applicants. Of course Young Barnes 
victimized me last year, and I bore it as 
well as I could; but, like Oliver Twist, 
he wants more, and I have this day 
most unexpectedly received a parcel from 
him, with the accompanying letter: 
“ Dear Sir, — Herewith I have the 
pleasure of sending you a pair of bred 
Anticlea sinuaria, which is, I believe, 
a species you want. 
“ Should you be successful in breeding 
Cabera rotundaria again this spring, I 
should be much obliged for any speci- 
mens you have to spare. 
“ I am, dear Sir, 
“ Yours very truly, 
“ A. Barnes.” 
Dear Sir, advise me. What shall I 
do ? Shall I send back his box with 
Sinuaria in it? 
Yours, in much perplexity, 
Frederick Allgreen. 
[Can you not take him at his word, — 
keep the Sinuaria, and send him Rotun- 
daria when you have it to spare ? Of 
course you will supply all your corre- 
spondents (not of the Barnes family) with 
Rotundaria before you have it to spare.] 
NATURAL HISTORY OF THE TINEINA. 
The Genus Coleophora. 
On “taking stock” of the figures and 
descriptions which we have collected of 
the larvae of the genus Coleophora, I find 
that we have fully worked out the natural 
history of forty species, and of ten others 
either the mine or the larva only is wanted 
to render their illustration complete. 
I announced last October that the 
fourth volume of the ‘ Natural History of 
the Tineina ’ would contain twenty-four 
species of the genus Coleophora, and of 
course no impediment exists to this in- 
tention being fully carried out ; indeed if 
we like to continue the same genus in 
Yol. V. there seems no difficulty in giving 
the private lives of another twenty-four 
species. 
Of Vibicella I should be glad to receive 
some feeding larvae, not having obtained 
a figure of its mine. 
Of Vilisella I should be glad to receive 
some feeding larvae, not having obtained 
a figure of the mine. 
Of Pallialella I should be glad to 
receive some feeding larvae, as, last year, 
the larva spun up before it could be 
figured. 
Of Murinipennella I should also be glad 
to receive some more feeding larvae, and 
I should like to see these larvae in a state 
of infancy. 
To my foreign correspondents I take 
this opportunity of stating that I much 
want fresh mines of Virgatella, Ditella, 
Saponariella, and to learn the precise 
mode of feeding of Coronilla, and I am 
also in want of the larvae of Duponchel’s
