Ou Saturday, July 4, Mr. Staintou 
will proceed ou a collecting expedition 
from Beckenham to West Wickham, 
starting from the mile-stone at Becken- 
ham Church at 6 p.m. Eutomologists 
from Loudon should leave by the 5.20 
Mid- Kent train for Beckenham. 
To-day (Saturday, June 27), as already 
announced, Mr. Stainton will turn down 
Headley Lane at 10.30 a.m., and at 6.30 
p.m., and will be glad to meet there any 
entomologist from Dorking or vicinity. 
Incipients who are afflicted with shy- 
ness may perhaps pluck up courage 
enough to meet one in a lane. 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Lepidoftera. 
Acronycla Ligustri from Privet. — Last 
week I bred two line specimens of A. Li- 
gustri from larva; found on privet, last 
September, near Exeter. — H. S. Gor- 
ham, 9, Hornton Terrace, Kensington , IV. ; 
June !8. 
Captures at Tunbridge Wells. — [ have 
just returned from a shortstay at Boundes 
Park, near Tunbridge Wells, where 
I made some rather good captures. 
A. Euphrosyne , very common ; T. Al- 
veolus, more abundant (this generally re- 
poses with the wings in a horizontal 
position, but sometimes erect) ; Procris 
Slatices was very abundant in one field, 
but nowhere else. I shall be happy to 
send, to those who wish for them, a speci- 
men of each of Alveolus and Euphrosyne, 
and specimens of Statices, on receiving a 
box with stamps for return postage. I 
also caught one L. Sinapis and five 
M. Artemis.— Hardin of. W. Browne, 1, 
Westbourne Street, Hyde Park Gardens, 
W. ; June 13. 
N. Lucina and P. Argiolus. — I have 
a few of each of these to spare: can any 
one send me P. Adonis, Thecla Betulre, 
T. Pruni or A. villica P •— J. Jess >r,J uti., 
Church Street, Rawmarsh, near Rother- 
ham ; June 13. 
Ceropacha Fluctuosa. — On the 13th ol 
June I took, by beating oak, birch, <$cc., 
a pair of this species, and at sugar a pair 
of Hadena rectilinea in company with 
Thyalira Batis, and other commoner 
things. — W. Laycock, I5d, Bath Street, 
Sheffield; June 15. 
Smerinthus Tilice assembling . — Having 
bred a specimen of this insect, 1 placed 
it in a glass globe while its wings ex- 
panded, and the globe was put outside 
the window. At 8.30 p.m. a number of 
large moths came Hying round the globe, 
and I caught four of them, and found 
them to be S. Tilice, evidently attracted 
by my bred female. — Herbert Jenner, 
The Limes, Carshalton, Surrey ; June 15. 
Gelechia desertella. — A northern ento- 
mologist writes that lie has bred this 
insect from larvae feeding on Sedum 
acre: I fancy there must be some mis- 
take, as Mr. Gregson, of Liverpool, had 
previously iuformed me that he bred it 
from moss. — H. T. Stainton ; June 18. 
Ce.rura Bicuspis. — I have in my pos- 
session a male of this species, bred by 
my brother, at Clifton, near Preston. — 
G. Nixon, Preston-, June 16. 
Emmelesia Blomeri. — Two of my 
friends were out the other day, and cap- 
tured nearly fifty of this insect in a new 
locality near here. — R. Sharples, Pres- 
ton ; June 1 6. 
Colcophora Vibicella. — I have been to 
Trench Wood for this insect, and have 
succeeded in finding from three to four 
dozen larvte. I shall be most happy to 
exchange with any persons who may be in 
want of it; if they will write to me I will 
send them a list of my wants. — T. L. 
Crump, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire ; 
June 15. 
Lasiocampa Trifolii. — I have now a 
large quantity of these larvae, and should 
be happy to send it, to any one in want 
of it. — Henry S. Bishop, Catherine 
Street, Plymouth; June 16.
