THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
I op 
female of this Geometra from a mixed 
hedge near Lewes: she has since laid 
some eggs. Can any one tell me what 
to feed the lame on, if they hatch? 
This species has been, I believe, usually 
taken in September, so it will probably 
prove to be double-brooded. — H. Tomp- 
kins, 44, Guildford Street, Russell Square , 
London ; June 7. 
Captures near Sheffield. — Since my 
last I have taken the following: — 
Ceropacha Fluctuosa, 
Eurois Herbida, 
Hyppa Reetili iea, 
Melanippe Hastaria, 
„ Tristaria, 
Acidalia S lvaria, 
and many commoner sorts. — J. Batty, 
133, South Street, Park, Sheffield; 
June 14. 
Cap'ures near Sheffield. — In Eeclesall 
Wood, on the 6th of June, I captured 
L. Albicillaria (5), C. Erutaria (1), V. 
Hastaria (1), and in Wharncliffe Wood, 
by beating, D. Fluctuosa (10), P. Laver - 
tula (5). Mr. Green caught, at the same 
time, seven specimens of D. Fluctuosa. 
— W. H. Smith, Eeclesall New Road, 
Sheffield. 
Captures at Light. — I have lately 
taken Centra Bifida (1), C. Vinulu (1), 
Selenia Lunaria (1), &c., at suburban 
gas lights. — James Buyant, 16, Ed- 
uard Street, Shepherd's Walk, London; 
June 15. 
Thecla W-album. — I have just bred 
this species from larvae taken at West 
Wickham on the 23rd of May. — Inin. 
New mode of killing Insects. — Dr. 
Hagen’s plan of killing Neuroptera by 
coup de soleil reminds me of something 
which occurred to myself a few days ago: 
wishing to be sure that the wings of a 
bred specimen of L. Camelina were quite 
dry before I killed it, I put it into a chip 
box, which I covered with lens, and 
placed in a sunny window ; on taking it 
up again, iu about ten minutes time, I 
found the insect quite dead, and in 
capital order for setting out. — T alpa. 
Trochilium Formiceeforme at Forest 
Hill. — I took a specimen of this Clear- 
Wing here to-day, among Salix triandra : 
it was at rest on a leaf, and apparently 
just out. — R obert M ‘Lachlan, Forest 
Hill; June 17. 
Limacodes Testudo. — I am now breed- 
ing this insect, from larvae collected in 
West Wickham, in September last. — 
Charles Healy, 4, Bath Place, Hagger- 
stone, N.E.; June 7. 
Stock exhausted. — My supply of larv'ie 
of L. Trifolii is quite exhausted. I can- 
not answer all the letters 1 have received, 
but those who have not heard from me 
must understand that my stock is ex- 
hausted. — J. S. Dele, 126, Navy Row, 
Morice Town, Devonport ; June 16. 
Larvte of Cucullia Verbasci. — I shall 
be glad to exchange larvae of C. Verbasci 
fur those of Trichiura Cratcegi, Nemeo- 
phila Plantaginis, or any of the genus 
Catocala. — Ibid. 
Entomological Notes from Deal . — 
Polyommatus Alsus. Very plentiful. 
Melitaa Cinxia. Common near Dover. 
Vanessa Cardui. Worn, but plentiful. 
This, I expect, will be their year to be 
common. 
Macroglossa Stellatarum. On the 
wing, rather common. 
Setina Irrorella. Just out. 
Argyrolepia Marilimana. Not com- 
mon. 
When on the Dover cliffs a Coitus 
llyale passed me. I understand a num- 
ber of both the species of Colias were 
seen some few weeks ago. 
N. B. If there is any entomologist 
resident in Deal or vicinity, a visit would 
much oblige: from an hour’s conversa- 
tion both might pick up a little informa- 
tion. — II. J. Harding, “ Noah's Ark," 
Peter Street, Deal, Kent; June 14. 
Elachista Magniftcella bred. — In 
April last Mr. Scott and Mr. Wilkinson, 
having both been successful in tiudtng
