feeding freely in the leaves of the alder. — 
Ibid. 
Neplicula Myrlillella. — Yesterday we 
found in some abundance the Nepticula 
larva, which feeds in the leaves of the 
bilberry (V actinium Myrtillus) ; we found 
a great many empty mined leaves. — 
Ibid. 
Toxocampa Pastinum. — A female of 
this species, which I caught a fortnight 
since, laid a batch of eggs ; these hatched 
yesterday, and the young larvae are now 
feeding freely on the tufted vetch ( Vicia 
Cracca). — Ibid. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have bred 
some Vanessa Polychloros ; I have also 
some perfect specimens of Polyommatus

change. My wants are very numerous : —

Doings in the Forest of Dean. — For 
the last month I have been staying on 
the borders of the Forest of Dean, and 
have been rather successful in my cap- 
tures: among them arc the following: —

J. T. Langley, Monmouth ; August 1. 
Pampliila Aclccon. — It may interest 
you to hear that my children and self 
yesterday visited the “ Burning Cliff,” 
and this time secured specimens of the 
veritable P. Aclccon. They were not 
abundant, so that all the time we could 
spare only afforded us thirty specimens. 
I have never yet, even with the wind in 
our favour, been able to get over so 
quickly as Mr. Douglas did, and the 
return, being against the wind, is both 
tedious and difficult, so that we could 
not stay above two hours. I think the 
breeze was unfavourable for their sporting 
about, although it was a fine, clear, sun- 
shiny day. I especially remarked the 
singularity of their only being found ou 
the very spot, as in the adjacent fields, 
where the plants and herbage is precisely 
the same, within bow-shot, not one w’as 
to be seen. I have hopes of being able 
bye and bye to send you some more par- 
ticulars of this species, from observations 
I have, and am still, following up, and 
will let you know the result; now merely 
adding that as we shall have more speci- 
mens than we need to keep, my children 
will supply, as far as they go, any readers 
of the ‘Intelligencer’ who may wish for 
specimens, premising only that as they 
are young beginners, with only limited 
means at command, parties requiring 
them must send boxes, and pay all
