possession of a valuable collection of 
foreign ferns, and if any of your readers 
are in want of any I should be glad to 
exchange them for entomological speci- 
mens of the more uncommon kinds. 
Amongst other ferns are Pteris hastata, 
P. Serratifolia, Doodia cordata, Erythina 
filix-fcmina, and many other valuable 
specimens. I am willing to correspond 
by letter. — Lewis Serjeant, Boston Spa, 
Tadcaster ; August 8. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have a few 
duplicates of the following species: — 
Argynnis Euphrosyne, 
„ Selene, 
„ Paphia, 
„ Adippe, 
„ Aglaia, 
Arge Galathea, 
Polyommatus Alsus, 
„ Argiolus, 
Thanaos Tages, 
Lithosia Aureola. 
And I can take on a bank near this, — 
Hipparchia Semele, 
Pamphila Comma. 
I am in want of Nemeobius Lucina , any 
of the genus Theda, and Smerinthus 
Ocellalus . — Amherst Tyssen, North- 
wold, near Brandon ; August 6. 
[Our correspondent is requested to 
keep a sharp look out for Agrophila sul- 
phuralis (‘ Manual,’ p. 295, last seven 
lines) in clover fields, if he should be in 
the same locality at midsummer next 
year.] 
Doings in Hampshire. — The following 
account of doings in the neighbourhood 
of Hampshire, principally Whervvell 
Wood, may perhaps interest some of 
your readers : — 
Argynnis Paphia (very abundant), 
„ Aglaia „ 
Melitaea Cinxia „ 
Vanessa Pol^chloros „ 
Arge Galathea ,, 
Hipparchia Semele „ 
„ Hyperanthus „ 
Apatura Iris (seen), 
Triplrsena fimbria (at sugar), 
Agrotis nigricans „ 
— J. F. Moon, Hyde, Isle of Wight; 
August 8. 
Miana Expolita . — Having again taken 
this insect, I have fifty specimens for 
exchange, if any one wants it; I have 
also a number of Erebia Blandina . — 
Jonathan Oude, 6, East Street, Dar- 
lington; August 9. 
Gelechia Liltorella. — I have taken 
this pretty species in this neighbourhood 
for the first time: the Isle of Wight and 
in Ireland, if I am rightly informed, are 
the only localities where this insect has 
been taken. I was engaged looking after 
Trechus Discus and Dyschirius at the 
time ; I took seven of the former and 
only one Dyschirius nitidus, and also 
one Lebia chtorocephala at the same 
time, which is not a very common in- 
sect here : Bembidium lunatum rather 
common. — James B. Hodgkinson. 
Pamphila Actceon. — The number of 
applications that have poured in from all 
quarters for P. Actceon being perfectly 
bewildering, and fourfold in number to 
the specimens I at present hold, will you 
kindly say for me in the ‘Intelligencer’ 
that I will endeavour to do the best and 
fairest I possibly can, and that correspou- 
dents who do not hear from me directly 
must ascribe it to this cause ? Even if I 
could possibly satisfy all, some consider- 
able delay must occur in despatching so 
many boxes, ike., and therefore I hope 
none will be impatient. I mention this 
because some speak of a “ return di- 
rectly,” See., and as I neither like to 
receive or return empty boxes, I will try 
all in my power, but such a flood of 
applicants I certainly never expected. 
Some have both kindly and considerately 
writteu first, to know if they could have 
any, and what would be desirable in re- 
turn, previous to sending their boxes, 
when they would enclose them. I wish 
I had specified this mode, it being far 
the best and least troublesome. Others
