THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
131 
Captures near Sheffield. — Visiting the 
old spot in search of Toxocampa Pasti- 
num and Arge Galuthea, we returned 
home quite satisfied with our journey. — 
W. L., Sheffield, and J. J., Rawmarsh ; 
July 14. 
Polyommatus Artaxerxes. — I take the 
liberty of writing to you to tell you of a 
new locality for Polyommatus Artaxerxes, 
although perhaps it is hardly worth in- 
serting in the ‘ Entomologist’s Weekly 
Intelligencer.’ On Saturday last I found 
it in great numbers on the coast of Kin- 
cardineshire, about two miles north of 
Stonehaven. The cliffs are very high at 
this part of the coasl, but are broken 
every here aud there by little bays, where 
high grassy banks slope down to the 
beach: it was upon these banks, which 
are covered with clusters of Helianlhe- 
mum vulgare, that the insect occurred, 
and it was so abundant that one or more 
rose at every step. I caught upwards of 
two dozen in half-an-bour, and would 
have caught many more, but the banks 
were so steep that I fell several times, 
and at last tumbled into a furze-busb, 
which made me give up the pursuit for 
that day. These banks extend for nearly 
two miles, and Artaxerxes seems to occur 
along the whole in nearly equal abun- 
dance. — B. Jazdowski, J20, Croivn St., 
Aberdeen; July 13. 
Thec/a W-album. — I have received 
such a multitude of letters that I hope 
those who do not receive any answer 
will not think me lacking in courtesy ; 
to answer all would be more than I can 
pledge myself to. — R ev. Herbert Bree, 
Woo her stone, near Ipswich ; July 14. 
Cochylis dipoltana and Hyponomeuta 
vigintipunctatas. — Last year I was com- 
pelled to disappoint many who applied 
for Cochylis dipoltana. This year I hope 
to be able to supply any who like to ask 
for it, having found it in considerable 
plenty near here. I have a few of the 
summer brood of Hyponomeuta viginti- 
punctatus now in pupa ; so that f can 
still continue to supply those who do not 
possess the insect. — Rev. P. H. Newn- 
ham, Guildford; July 16. 
Vanessa Polychloros. — Having bred 
more specimens of this insect than I can 
use, I shall be very glad to exchange 
them for some other species. Among 
many desiderata, the following are some 
of those I most waut: — 
Pieris Crataegi, 
Erebia Blandina, 
„ Cassiope, 
Nemeobius Lucina, 
Thecla Rubi, 
„ Betula?, 
,, Pruni, 
Polyommatus Adonis, 
„ Avion, 
„ Artaxerxes. 
I shall be moving about for some weeks 
after the 26th. — A. C. James, Eton Col- 
lege, Windsor. 
Polyommatus Corydon.— I have taken 
this beautiful insect near Cambridge in 
some plenty, and shall be happy to ex- 
change with any one in want of it, if 
they will write to me, and I will name my 
wants. I have also some larvae of Calli- 
morpha Jaco bee cc ; if they should be 
wanted by any one I shall be happy to 
exchange. — Walter Balls, 2, Camden 
Place, Regent St., Cambridge ; July 16. 
Porthesia Chrysorrhcea. — I have taken 
this insect in some abundance; does 
any one want it? — W. H. Tillett, 
Norwich ; July 15. 
Apatura Iris. — As I have been very 
successful in the capture of this fine 
insect during the present week, I shall 
be glad to treat with any one making an 
offer of really good insects in exchange 
for the specimens I have to spare. I will 
send you a list of captures when the cam- 
paign is over. I have this week taken 
the first specimens of G. C-album, and 
hope, in the course of a few weeks, to 
supply those whom I was forced to dis- 
appoint in the spring. — W. Sturgess, 
Kettering ; July 20.
