THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, 
duplicates. — F redk. Bockton, 6, Beech 
Grove Terrace , Leeds. 
Both the Clouded Yellows. — I have 
lately taken several specimens of Colins 
Edusa and Hyale, also a specimen of the 
var. Helice, in company with the above, 
in a clover field. — R. H. Fremlin, 
Waterinybury, Kent; August 23. 
Colias Edusa and Hyale at Wands- 
worth. — Yesterday I saw a specimen of 
C. Edusa and another of Hyale , in a 
potato - field, near the Wandsworth 
Station of the Richmond Railway; 
having no apparatus with me, I tried to 
knock them down with my hat, but was 
unsuccessful. This will make the third 
specimen of Hyale I have seen near 
here, only one of which I have managed 
to capture. — T. Blackmore, The Hollies, 
Wandsworth, S. W. ; Aug. 23. 
Dispar wanted in Exchange. — I wish 
to exchange a male Fluviata and male 
and female Alternaria for a pair of C. 
Dispar. — Edward T. Norcombe, 5, 
Salutary Mount, Heavitree ; August 14. 
Macroglossa Stellatarum in London . — 
This moth has lately been seen several 
times hovering over the larkspur and 
oiher flowers in my little garden at Ken- 
ning ton, I scarcely expected to find 
this species here, as I am now so sur- 
rounded with chimney-pots and smoke.

Macroglossa Stellatarum in London . — 
I don’t know exactly what distance we 
are to consider to be the limit of the 
space included in what is called the 
“ Loudon District but, as I have dis- 
covered a locality for a Lepidopterous 
insect in the midst of the streets, squares 
and crescents which form what is properly 
called the Great Metropolis, I may 
safely conclude that my locality may be 
set down as within the limits.' The 
insect for which I have discovered a new 
locality is Macroglossa Stellatarum (the 
Humming-bird Hawk-moth). The gar- 
den of my house, No. 27, Richmond 
Crescent, Barnsbury, Islington, is the 
locality. Yesterday, and again this 
morning, I saw two or three of these 
“ fairy things” sipping the sweets of the 
flowers of the Verbena. I imagined this 
little creature belonged to such spots as 
are to be found about Deal, Dover, 
Hastings and the Isle of Wight, as well 
as in the sunny nooks of Kent and simi- 
lar localities ; but that it should be 
tempted within the smoky region, not 
more than two miles and a half from 
St. Paul’s, I did not expect. To make 
sure, I caught one; and, having satisfied 
myself, released him, to pursue his sweet 
pilferings unscathed for me. I do not 
know whether mine is the nearest locality 
to St. Paul’s or not. — Fredk. Smith, 
27, Richmond Crescent, Islington. 
Cerura bicuspis and Acronycta Alni . — 
I took, on Thursday last, the 12th inst., 
a fine larva of C. bicuspis, and on Satur- 
day, the 14th, the larva of A. Alni, nearly 
full-grown; both of them appear to relish 
in confinement the alder, upon the leaves 
of which I found them. 1 also found, 
on the 12th, two Coleophora larvie, 
feeding in the seed-pods of the gorse or 
furze. My friend, Mr. Wilkinson, says 
they will be Albicosta. — R. Cook, 10, 
Castle Crescent, Scarborough ; Aug. 1(>. 
Phibalapteryx Anyustata, Haw. — On 
the 10th, whilst crossing the swamp on 
Crosby Sand Hills, near the Station, I 
observed a moth, with its wings up, on a 
blade of grass close to the ground, and 
whilst admiring it, and thinking it was 
the first P. lineolaria I ever saw at 
Crosby, it fluttered up through the grass ; 
on its getting fairly on the wing I said, 
“ That don’t fly like Lineolaria ! I must 
see it!” As 1 stepped lightly through 
the mud it arose again, but only flew 
about a yard, and threading its way 
between the stems of Poa jluitans and 
around the stalks of Sparganium, it again 
settled for a moment on the bare mud, 
at two or three yards distance, this time 
sitting Jlat. “ That’s no Lineolaria ! —
