THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
last (June the 5th). During the past 
week I have also taken, among other 
things, the larva of O. gonostigma, on 
bramble, nearly full fed. — A. M. Aling- 
T on , Llwyng ivern, Machynlleth , N. Wales ; 
June 7. 
Micra Ostrina . — My daughter was for- 
tunate enough to capture a beautiful 
specimen of this insect to-day : she found 
it on the side of a wood near the sea, 
and close to the field in which Luctuosa 
has occurred. — R. Battersbt, M.D., 
Oukjield, Torquay ; June 8. 
Acherontia Atropos. — On the 30th ult. 
my wife took a fine specimen of the above 
magnificent insect at rest upon a stem of 
grass. It had apparently just emerged 
from the chrysalis, as its condition is 
very perfect. Is it not very early in its 
appearance? — C. Winchester, Osborne, 
Isle of Wight; June 2. 
Clostera Keclusa. — I think now I must 
have supplied all applicants for eggs of 
this insect ; if not, and any of those I 
have sent' do not hatch, which will pro- 
bably be the case out of upwards of two 
thousand, I shall be pleased to hear 'again 
from them. As the greater number of 
applicants wish to know my desiderata, 
and as I am desirous of availing myself 
of the assistance so kindly offered, I beg 
to enumerate the under-mentioned num- 
bers in the ‘ Manual’ : — 5, 33, 42, 43, 40, 
62, 95, 100, 102, 108, 116, 117, 138, 142, 
161, 167, 325, 492, 493. Eggs, larvae or 
pupa; preferred. — R. H. Fremlin, Water- 
ingbury , near Maidstone ; June 2. 
Overrun with Applications. — I am un- 
able to supply one-tenth of the applicants 
for the larvae of L. Trifolii. I have 
about eighteen boxes, and (with the ex- 
ception of one) they are all with return 
postage, and it cannot be expected that 
I should write to every applicant. As 
I should not like to send back the 
boxes empty, I will take up the first ten 
as they come to hand, and send larvae in 
them, but the rest I do not know what to 
do with. I expect, before the week is out, 
that I shall have some more, as these all 
arrived to-day (May 29). — June 1. Since 
writing the above I have received twenty- 
two more boxes and letters! I will give 
away all I have, but if I had five times 
as many I could not supply all my cor- 
respondents. — R. P. Harvie, 18, Chapel 
Street, Devonport. 
Captures at Darenth Wood. — My prin- 
cipal captures during the last week in 
May have been as follows : — 
Trochilium Culiciforme, 
Lithosia Aureola, 
Apalela Leporina, 
Ceropacha Or, 
Pyrausta Octomaculalis, 
Macaria Notataria, 
Phibalapteryx Vitalbaria. 
I have received forty letters requesting 
eggs of Carmelita : I have answered 
those who inclosed a stamp, but am not 
willing to be put to three or four shillings 
expense; so those that have received no 
reply from me must consider this the 
cause. — H. J. Harding, L, York Street, 
Church Street, Shoreditch ; June l. 
Captures at Ambleside. — During the 
past week I have taken the following in 
this neighbourhood, and hope to add 
more to the list during my sojourn here. 
L. Sinapis (1), 
A. Selene (15), 
Euphrosyne (5), 
M. Artemis (1), 
T. Rubi (12),

Bcckton, of 6, Beech Grove Terrace, 
Leeds ; June 7.
