THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Forest, and captured of this species a 
female, sitting quietly on the heather in 
the sunshine, and a male sitting low 
down in the heather, about three o’clock 
p. m. Several more males were seen on 
the wing. Last week another male was 
taken sitting on the bole of a birch tree.

Villas , Brighton ; April 22, 1857. 
Calendar of Lepidoptera . — One word 
or two more before ‘‘your correspondent 
from the far west” closes. I have, in 
manuscripts, a list of the British Lepi- 
doptera as far as the.eud of the Nocture, 
arranged according to their appearance 
in each month, and referring to the pages 
of the “Manual,” and marked c for 
common, s for scarce, &c., as the case 
may be. Now I shall be glad to have 
this published if I can get enough just to 
clear expenses, or to subscribe to any one 
else who may feel inclined to bring one 
out. The having such a list is a great 
help, as I have found it, since it enables 
you to see at a glance what you want ; or 
slightly to alter the words of Terence, too 
well known to every schoolboy, to be 
able to say, “ In tempore ad larvam 
veoi, quod rerum omnium est pinnum.” 
— Rev. G. J. Bostock, Bideford , North 
Devon; April 24, 1857. 
Aleucis Picturia . — On the evening of 
the 21st I took two specimens of Aleucis 
Pictaria on Hartford Heath. A friend, 
who was with me, succeeded in taking 
three. — E. G. Baldwin, Albany House , 
Barns bury Park ; April 23, 1857. 
Since my last communication I have 
taken five more specimens of Aleucis pic- 
taria on Hartford Heath. — Id.; April 
27, 1857. 
Hibernia rupicapraria . — I beg to cor- 
rect a slight error in my note of last 
week. It is the female of H. rupicapra- 
ria that copulates about four in the 
morning. Mr. Uoubleday says he never 
saw II. Leucophaaria in cop., or heard 
of any one who had. — C. 11. Bhee ;

Cheap Cabinets. — In looking over the 
Index of the ‘ Substitute’ the other day, 
I was much surprised to find so many 
interesting things that I had not then 
perused, — such as the cabinet question ; 
new clap-net ; sugaring for A. Iris — 
“ et multa alia quae nunc describere lon- 
gum est.’’ Now, as regards the cabinet 
question, “ I found at p. 61, as follows : — 
“We are convinced that hitherto entomo- 
logists have paid a fancy price for their 
cabinets; that good sound ones, not 
fancy articles, could be made for one- 
half the usual charges, and that the 
maker who first introduces such will be a 
benefactor to the rising race of entomo- 
logists, and will, doubtless, reap his 
reward.” Now, though / wish not to 
lay claim to any merit as a benefactor, 
yet as a sympathiser with the rising race 
1 come forward, and leave the cabinet- 
maker to reap his reward. The dimen- 
sions are as follow: — 13 drawers ; depth 
2 inches ; width 18 inches; breadth 14 
inches. The fronts, knobs, frames for 
glass, top, sides, and two flaps, are all 
made of capital well-seasoned mahogany. 
The crown glass in frames, lock, bolts, 
hinges, &c. are all of the best quality, as 
several collectors who have seen the cabi- 
net can testify to. The drawers slide in 
the approved London fashion, and any 
one can get such an one (barring the 
cork) “ all for the small charge of” 
£3 10s.; if no glass is wanted, 10s. 
less ; and if no frames, 5s. less still. 
Any cabinet may be ordered, larger or 
smaller, at the same rate, which, with 
glass and frames complete, is less than 
5s. 6 d. per drawer. Now, is not this 
cheap enough ? If any one wishes to 
ascertain anything further on the sub- 
ject, or to order one suited to his wishes, 
I shall be glad to answer any enquiries 
on behalf of the man who made mine, 
and who being almost obliged to stay 
within doors, is willing to turn his atten- 
tion to insect cabinets. — Rev. G. J. Bos- 
XOCK, IJidcford, N. Devon; /l/» t/21,1857.
