species, among other commoner ones: —

— Henry Akjs, 149, St.John Street, 
West Smithfield ; June 19. 
Aleucis Pictaria. — Through the kind- 
ness of Mr. Baldwin, I have received 
two larva? of this insect for description. 
The food of ihe larva is blackthorn. 
Mr. Baldwin remarks that “ they seem 
very particular, as they will eat no other 
blackthorn than what comes from Dart- 
ford Heath, unless starved to it.” The 
remarkably stunted growth of the sloe 
bushes there, adds, I suppose, to the 
flavour of the leaves. These sloe bushes 
are the favourite resort of Myelois mar- 
morea ( epelydella ). — H. T. Stainton ; 
June 21. 
Nepticula Cry/itella. — Mr. T. Wilkin- 
sou has bred an extensive series of this 
insect, which seems to be exceedingly 
variable, some specimens having only 
the single spot on the inner margin, 
others having also a costal spot, and in 
some the two spots are united and form 
a rather broad fascia. — Ibid. 
Asyehna Terminella. — Since the me- 
lancholy catastrophe with this insect, 
recorded in the first volume of the ‘ In- 
telligencer,’ I had not till last week the 
pleasure of again seeing the little gem 
alive, but between the 12th and 19th of 
this month seven specimens have ap- 
peared in my breeding-cage, and been 
duly pinned, without a preliminary 
squashing. — Ibid. 
Lozogramrna Pelraria. — I should be 
glad to hear from any of your readers 
what the larvte of L. Petraria will eat. — 
T. Chapman, Glasgoiv ; June 22. 
Nemoria Viridata.—l have lately taken 
near here no less than ninety specimens 
of this very local species. — E. Smith, 
Turkey Street, Worcester ; June 22. 
Captures near Folkestone. — 1 have been 
staying at Folkestone during the last 
week, and the following are some of my 
captures : — 
Colias Edusa (2, $ and 9 )> 
„ Hyale (2, both females), 
Cynthia Cardui (common), 
Melittea Cinxia (12), 
Thecla Rubi (15), 
Polyommatus Alsus (common), 
„ Ageslis (6), 
„ Adonis (common), 
Anthrocera Trifolii (4), 
„ Filipendulte (common), 
Macroglossa Stellatarum (common), 
Philea Irrorella (19), 
Euthemonia Russula (9),

Callimorplia Jacobaese (common), 
Euclidia Mi (7), 
„ Glyphica (15), 
Phytometra Tinea (ti), 
Fidonia Atomaria (common), 
Ptychopoda Ornata (S). 
I saw T. lchneumoniformis at rest on a 
flower, so I tried to box it, but it was 
more lively than I expected, and flew off 
before I could close the box on him. 
Most of the insects mentioned were taken 
in the warren between Folkestone and 
Dover. — C. D. Drury, Grole’s buildings, 
Blackhealh ; June 22. 
Duplicate Larvce. — I have larvae of 
S. Carpini to spare, and any gentleman 
in want of it can be supplied on applica- 
tion. — G. Lumb, Kirkgate, Wakefield; 
June 19. 
Aporia Cra tiegi. — Last Saturday, the 
19th, I took seventeen specimens of this 
insect in the New Forest, in about an 
hour. Unfortunately I had no more time, 
or I might have taken many more. No 
one need apply for specimens, as I shall 
have to take more than a hundred before 
I can supply my last year’s applicants. —
