THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
tion they seem to prefer above all others, 
albeit to the great detriment of their 
wings, which get sadly rubbed by the 
friction of the neighbouring ears against 
them. In this position I once took four 
from one corn-stalk, a female appeared to 
be the centre of attraction. Arge Galal/iea 
was also abundant on the sea shore and 
adjoining fields. Vanessa Polychloros, 
judging from the number of pupae sus- 
pended under every projecting ledge, 
will also be most plentiful. I took one 
Thecla Quercus, and, no doubt, had the 
weather been fine, would have taken 
many more. Having had but few op- 
portunities of taking the nocturnal Lepi- 
doptera, I cannot say much about the 
capabilities of the place for them, but 
this I know, that Porthesia Chrysorrhcea 
was very abundant in one hawthorn 
hedge, both in the larva and pupa states ; 
the cocoons being placed gregariously 
five or six in a common web : and hereby 
let me warn incipients to be cautious in 
handling the pupa of this insect, as the 
hairs woven into the cocoon stick to the 
hands, and the hands being afterwards 
mechanically applied to the face and 
neck, they enter the softer skin and 
cause intense irritation, not equalled for 
power and endurance by anything I 
know of. The greater part of these 
pupte contain a large fleshy maggot. 
Leueania Conigera was plentiful at the 
flowers of Glycerin fiui tans, and at them 
I also took a worn Heliothis Marginata, 
and a Caradrina Alsines. Should any 
person wish to know more of this locality, 
I shall be happy to give any further in- 
formation 1 possess; and, in conclusion, 
beg to state that I have no duplicates 
for exchange at present, as they will 
most likely be all distributed among 
“our own correspondents.” — Robert 
McLachlan, Forest Hill; July 12. 
Larva in Centaurca Leaves. — On Satur- 
day last, whilst waiting for the train to 
take me to Castle Eden, I found some of 
the new miner discovered by Professor 
Frey, and collected about twenty of them. 
I found another at Castle Eden Dene 
yesterday, and showed it to Mr. Sang. 
No doubt it is abundant, and only wants 
looking after. — John Scott, Southfield 
Villas, Middlesbro' -on-Tees ; July 12. 
Duplicate Larvce. — Larvae of C. Jaco- 
bcece and E. Lanestris. I have a quantity 
of the above, and shall be glad to hear 
from any one in want of either. — H. J. 
Stubbs, Henley-on-Thames ; July 12. 
Ennnmos Fuscanlaria bred from the 
Egg. — I have this week bred this insect 
from eggs laid Sept. 17, last year; the 
first hatched. May 21st; larvae spun up, 
June 21st; inago, July 11th. I have 
taken during the last fortnight — C. 
Vernarin, P. Tersaria, P. Vitalbaria, E. 
H aivorthiata , A. Holosericearia, A. Sub- 
sericearia, B. Hyalinalis, M. Asinalis,

Pieris Daplidice. — In answer to your 
query of last week, it is a Daplidice we 
took, though rather an inferior specimen, 
appearing to be one of the May brood : 
we secured it between Margate and St. 
Peter’s, in a pea field. Since our last, 
we have taken the following, if the total 
be worth a record in your interesting 
paper.

Aporia Cratajgi (2 $ ,2 9), 
Arge Galathea (24 $, 14 £), 
Hipparchia Hyperanthus (34), 
Cynthia Cardui (9), 
Argynnis Paphia (1 $ , 5 J ), 
Macroglossa Stellatarum (16), 
Leueania Conigera (8) 
Triphcena Pronuba (5),

Limenitis Sibylla. — On July 6th and

beg to thank, through your columns,
