Virgaureana ; when young this larva is 
a miner. Larva? 2, 3, 4 and 7 are pro- 
bably the Sciaphila ; 5 and 6 the Seri- 
coris. No. 1 in the shoots of Berberis 
vulgaris we do not know: is it not a 
looper ?

— J.W. Dunning, Trinity College , Cam- 
bridge ; May 25. 
Eriogaster Lanestris. — In reply to nu- 
merous applications for larva of E. La- 
nestris , I shall be glad to collect and 
forward them ; but I beg to be excused 
supplying boxes and postage, as I require 
no return from strangers : not one appli- 
cant has sent either. — G. Gascoyne, 
Neivark ; May 26. 
Varieties of A. Betularia. — I have had 
about seventy of this species come out 
this season, and I have twenty-one 
females and twenty males entirely black, 
also nine females and six males with 
very small white marks on them ; they 
are a great deal darker than the species 
generally are. — Henry Stephenson, 
39, Charley Street , Bolton ; May 25. 
Eggs wanted. — Could any of your 
readers oblige me with eggs of S. Tiliae, 
for which I should be happy to exchange 
specimens of Papilio Machaon and 
Smcrinthus ocellatus. — C. Boyle, Cressy 
House, New Road, Hammersmith, W. ; 
May 26. 
All gone. — To prevent disappointment 
it may be well to state that the numerous 
applications I have had for larvae of 
P. Chrysorrlicea have quite exhausted my 
stock. — H. O. Fry, 18, Medina Villas, 
Brighton ; May 26. 
A nice Cabinet Specimen of Tinea 
fuscipunclella. — Towards the latter end 
of last year I found a larva committing 
depredations in the body of an Arge 
Galalhea, and, wishing to learn its his- 
tory, I did not disturb it ; but placed it 
and the butterfly iu a pill-box. Not 
long afterwards it quitted the body of 
the fly, and with a portion of the wings 
formed a cocoon at the edge of the box, 
and this morning I found that a speci- 
men of Tinea fuscipunclella had emerged 
from the pupa. Is it a common occur- 
rence for Lepidopterous larvae thus to 
prey upon the perfect insects? — Robert 
Anderson, St. Martin's, Coney Street, 
York ; May 26. 
[The Tinea larvae and Ephestia larvae 
often do much damage to neglected 
collections.] 
Ypsolophus marginellus. — A juniper 
tree iu my garden is infested with a larva 
which I fancy must be that of Y. mar- 
ginellus. I shall feel much pleasure in 
sending some to any entomologist who 
may be in want of them, provided a little 
box with return postage be sent. — E. 
Boscher, 3, Prospect Villas, Twicken- 
ham; May 28.
