condition, and should be happy to ex- 
change for

„ Pruni, 
„ W-album, 
Nemeobius Lucina,

better write to me, and those not receiving 
an answer within a week may assume that 
their offer is of no service. — W. Cairnes, 
Holgarlh Street, Durham; Sept. 1. 
Acherontia Alnpos. — I have at present 
a fine pupa of tbis insect ; it was given 
to me by a gentleman who had it brought 
to him by a person who found it on some 
potatoes. Can any of your readers inform 
me how to prevent mould and insects 
from destroying Lepidoptera? — R. E. 
Brameld, St. Johns Parsonage, Mans- 
field. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — If any gentle- 
man is in want of any of the following, 
I will supply them as long as my stock

— J. Daniels, Lately Common, near 
Leigh ; August 30. 
Stock exhausted. — My stock of V. Poly- 
chloros and P. Ageslis is quite worked 
out. I have still a small surplus of 
A. Gilathe.a, S. Semelc, and male speci- 
mens (very fine) of P. Corydon. I have 
taken several Edusa since my last, also 
Aspilates Gilvaria, all male specimens, 
and about two dozen larvae of Sphitix 
Liguslri, which are passing into the 
pupa slate daily. I shall be happy to 
exchange any of the above, with the ex- 
ception of Edusa, for a pair of any 
of the under-mentioned, either imago or 
pupa; : — 
D. Elpenor, A. Villica, 
S. Ocellatus, L. Dispar, 
C. Dominula, E. Ligniperda, 
E. Plantiginis, Z. ffisculi, 
or any Theda, except Quercus and Rubi. 
— John Tyree, jun., Melville Hospital, 
Chatham, Kent ; A ug. 28. 
Doings near Bridgewater. — It is not 
for the want of searching that I have 
not succeeded in finding the lame of 
Deilephila Euphorbia. From Burnham 
to Brean, a distance of seven miles, 
Euphorbia Paralias is as plentiful as well 
can be on the sand-hills, and over the 
whole of this I have hunted repeatedly 
several times during the past and present 
month. Whilst searching, on the 22nd, 
1 started several of Colias Edusa, and 
succeeded in capturing seven, two females 
and live males, four of them most per- 
fect specimens, one of the females being 
2§ inches in expanse. On the sand-hills 
at Brean the sea kale is rather plentiful, 
and on the cliffs close by samphire grows 
in abundance. On the 13tli of July I 
took L. Complana on the top of the cliffs. 
I shall “try again.” — John Sanders, 
Eastover, Bridgewater ; August 29. 
Captures at Ryde. — 1 captured a line 
specimen of Plcrosloma Pa/pina at light,
