THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
125 
June 18th. — 
Ceratopacha Or. Sugar, Darenth Wood. 
E. Dolohraria. Beaten, Darenth Wood. 
H. Hectus. Common, Darenth Wood. 
In fine condition. 
H. Velleda. Common, Darenth Wood. 
Much wasted. I did not expect to 
find this species, believing it a northern 
insect. 
Aleucis Pictaria (larva). Beaten from 
Prumis spinosa, Epping Forest. 
J une 20ih. — 
Thecla Betulas (larva). Beaten from 
Primus spinosa, Epping Forest. 
These are a few of my best captures 
during the first half of 1858: I hope to 
add many more during the next four 
months. At the close of the season I 
shall doubtless have a few duplicates, 
but am now too busy to attend to them. 
— William Henry Togwell, 112, 
Cheapside , E.C. 
Offer to Catch. — I hope to spend a 
fortnight on the chalk soon, and shall 
find the following if any one wants 
them : — 
Hipparchia Semele, 
Polyommalus Corydon, 
„ Agestis, 
Pamphila Comma. 
I shall be happy to take and set two or 
four of the above for any young ento- 
mologist, provided be sends boxes and 
return postage ; but, to prevent disap- 
pointment, he had belter write first, 
stating which of the species be would 
like, that I may regulate my captures 
accordingly. Address — W. H. Tug- 
well, Laurel Cottage, Reigale, Surrey. 
Melanthia Rivaria. — I am now taking 
the above in perfect condition, and shall 
be glad to have a letter from any one 
requiring them who can supply me with 
any of the following: — Tiliaria, Favil- 
lacearia, Flexulnria, Hepararia, Quin- 
guaria, Cunsortaria, Abietaria, Cinctaria, 
Viduaria, Corticaria, Fuliginaria, Sali- 
caria, Autumnaria, Borearia, Polycom- 
tnala, Sexalisaria , Virctaria, Rhamnaria, 
Vetularia, Hydraria, Bifasciaria, 'lami- 
naria, Rotundaria, Emularia and Obli- 
quaria. I require but one $ and one $ 
of each species (but these must be in per- 
fect condition, as I have written on my 
cabinet “ Rubbish must not be lodged 
here”), but shall be happy to send a 
longer series, if I succeed in taking a 
large number, to those who require more. 
Please write before sending any thing.

Mount, Heavilree ; July 4. 
Larva of Macaria Allernaria. — 
I think Guenee is wrong concerning 
the larva and pupa of Allernaria, as it is 
a slender larva and pupa, is not angular, 
and does not make a cocoon just beneath 
the surface, as some are down an inch or 
more, and not the least particle of silk.

Entomological Notes from Deal . — 
Captured Lithosia Pygmcola, Heliothis 
Dipsacea, Odonlia Dentalis, just out. 
During the hot days in June, large 
numbers of Coleoptera from the Sand 
Hills, took flight to sea from the heat of 
the sand. May not this, or similar 
causes, be the reason why flights of 
butterflies and other insects are so often 
recorded? The larvre of Vanessa Cardui 
leave the thistle and nettle for the 
Parietaria officinalis (wall pellitory) ; it 
is swarming with them. — II. J. Harding,

A Visit to Herne Ray.— Having just 
returned from a few day’s stay at Herne 
Bay, I proceed to give some account of 
the habits and haunts of Aporia Cratagi, 
that place being one of the localities for 
this species, and certainly they are very 
abundant, throwing the common whites 
into the shade in the proportion of two 
to one. They fly only during the bright 
sunshine, but as I was not favoured with 
more than two consecutive hours of that 
luminary’s appearance, I had to seek 
other modes of capture, viz. , taking them 
at rest on the heads of corn, which situa-
