THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
127 
the Messrs. Harvey, of Southampton 
(Intel. 117, 1857), for pointing out the 
locality. It is very satisfactory, when at 
a strange place for only a day or two, to be 
able to proceed at once to the locality of 
a particular insect, known to inhabit the 
neighbourhood. I may as well mention, 
for the sake of entomologists travelling 
with their families, that very clean and 
nice accommodation may be found at 
the ‘ Crown ’ inn, at Lyndhurst. — Rev.

COLEOPTERA. 
A Manual of Coleoptera ivanled . — 
I think the leading article in last week’s 
‘Intelligencer’ quite right. I wish some 
one would publish a ‘Manual ’of the 
Coleoptera; he might begin with the 
attractive Longieorns, which are not 
very numerous as a family, nor very hard 
I should fancy. — Murray A. Mathews,

HYBRID INSECTS. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — Having read communications on 
the subject of hybrids, and hearing of 
them being produced without passing 
the winter in pupse, I beg leave to state 
that at the time Mr. Hague’s specimens 
were coming out, I had some in chrysalis ; 
but mine, without exception, tarried until 
the natural time of appearance, and, 
from what I have seen, it has improved 
the insects. The way I account for 
their appearance is, that they were bred 
out of doors, so that they were not forced 
in any way by heat. 
My insects are from male S. Ocellatus, 
female Populi, and their markings are 
Populi fore wings with a slight mixture 
of Ocellatus, hind wings with the brick 
blotch and eye-spot as well marked as 
can be expected (in general the sexes 
are more or less mixed). I had one such 
a decided male, I was almost inclined 
to see if it would breed. 
My larv® got mixed with the true 
insects, and I was not able afterwards 
to distinguish them ; the pupie in my 
opinion bears a close resemblance to 
S. Tilice. 
Yours, &c., 
John Adamson.
