THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
in good spirits, and set to work, resolved 
to improve his collection. The first 
thing was to supply all his boxes and 
drawers with fresh camphor, for what 
had previously been there had some 
time back all evaporated, he had neg- 
lected to put a fresh supply, and now 
many of the specimens were infested 
with mites. 
When he came back from the city 
that evening he commenced preparing 
some new setting-boards. 
But young Barnes had been much 
struck with the number of specimens he 
had seen in the collection of his new 
acquaintance, which they had obtained 
from different parts of the country, from 
Wales and even from Scotland. He at 
first concluded that these entomologists 
must have travelled much, and had been 
surprised to hear, in answer to some 
observation he had made, that neither of 
them had ever been more than fifty 
miles from London. He then learned 
that they obtained many things from 
correspondents whom they had never 
seen, and whom they had only found 
out from their communications in the 
‘ Zoologist.’ 
Young Barnes thought it would be 
well for him to get the ‘ Zoologist.’

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. Inis. — A correspondent inquires 
whether the eggs hatch in the beginning 
of autumn, and the larva: begin to feed 
then, and pass the winter as young larvae, 
or whether the eggs do not hatch till the 
following spring. Can any of our readers 
inform us ? 
J. F. M. — Most eggs hatch three 
weeks after being laid ; the times indi- 
cated for the larva: are when they are 
nearly full-fed, so as to be worth col- 
lecting.

pupa; you cannot do better than study
