it down with his walking-stick, without 
injury to it. At the latter end of July, 
in the same year, I took a specimen in 
Copthall Wood, at the top of Muswell 
Hill. Perhaps this wood might turn this 
insect up, if sought for there. I also took 
B. Notha there last year. — W. H. Latch- 
ford, 1, Plumbers Place, Corporation 
Lane, Clerkenwell ; June 9, 1857. 
Leucania and Nonagria. — The season 
for these Noctuae will soon be on, and I 
should be glad if you would point out a 
good locality for them in the immediate 
neighbourhood of London. Is Hammer- 
smith Marshes still a productive locality ? 
— D. K., Russell Square ; June 10, 1857. 
[Never having visited Hammersmith 
Marshes, we cannot answer this latter 
query ; perhaps some of the readers of the 
‘ Intelligencer’ can assist us.] 
Dcilephila Galii. — A friend of mine 
showed me a male specimen of D. Galii, 
which he took the other day, hovering over 
a flower of Rhododendron. — Edward 
Bonney, Churchdale House, Rug e ley ;

“ Too much help, St. Anthony .” — My 
offer of insects in last week’s ‘Intelli- 
gencer ’ has brought me a perfect flood 
of correspoudeuce, which is quite beyond 
all my previous calculations. That offer 
was dated May 22nd, but unfortunately 
did not appear till June (3th. When I 
wrote Argiolus was in full beauty ; now 
I can find none but wind and rain-worn 
specimens ; and, as my offer was to catch 
according to the demand, my stock in 
hand is very small, I fear, therefore, that 
most of the applicants for that insect 
(which appears to be in great requisition) 
will have to wait for the second brood, 
when, if it should prove an abundant 
one, l will do my best to supply all 
my correspondents. With the other 
three Leps. named, I hope to be able to 
supply most of those who want them ; 
but this boisterous weather has come 
most inopportunely. With the Coleoptera 
I was fortunately well supplied before- 
hand ; and so far my stock promises to 
prove equal to all demands. By the way, 
I forgot to ask for boxes to be sent ; my 
supply is so scanty, that the process of 
delivery must be a very tedious one with- 
out such assistance. Does any one care 
to have specimens of Cercopis sanguino-

versham, June 9, 1857. 
Captures at West Wickham. — On the 
31st ult. and the 7th inst. I look the 
following at West Wickham Wood : — 
Sesia Fuciformis, 2 Pgrausta Octoma- 
culalis, Arggnnis Euphrosyne, Thymele 
Alveolus, Nemeophila Plantaginis, Lima- 
codes Tesludo, Arggnnis Selene. — Chas. 
Healy, 4, Bath Place, Haggerstone, 
N. E., June 10, 1857. 
Captures near Thetford. — Last week 
I captured, in Fakenham Wood, near 
Thetford, three specimens of Sesia Fuci- 
formis, hovering around Ajuga replans. 
Are they not peculiarly fond of that 
flower ? I also caught several dozen 
Euplirosyne, which I shall be happy to 
exchange for good specimens of Sinapis, 
Endromis versicolora, or Lucina. I have 
also captured several Fesiucce, which I 
shall be most happy to exchange. — W. 
H. Tillett, Norwich, June 10, 1857. 
Smerinthus ocellatus. — I have about 
two dozen larva of S. ocellatus to spare, 
if any one is in want of them ; they are 
now twelve days from the egg : by sending 
a box and paying postage, I shall be 
most happy to return them to any one. — 
Eli T. Silvester, Pound Hill, Worth, 
Sussex; June 12, 1857. 
Captures in Scotland. — Since I last 
wrote I have taken Acronycta Myricce, 
Hadena rcctilinea, Anarta melanopa, cor- 
digera , Eupisteria carbonaria, and many 
others. This is a firsi-rate county for 
insects of all orders. — H. J. Harding,, 
Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire ; June 8, 
1857. 
A neiv Nepticula Larva. — On Saturday 
last I proceeded to Mickleham, remaining 
there several days ; the best result of my
