THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
have sent me choice of lists, but at the 
same time the boxes empty, so that, lo 
embrace their offer, I must again send 
my boxes. And others have sent their 
boxes with insects, merely at a guess 
(but in most cases acceptable), but, in 
their haste of despatch, have forgotten 
the item of return postage; this class 
being rather numerous, I hope indi- 
viduals will not be offended at my being 
obliged to mention it. Through your 
notification I may be able to give the 
quickest satisfaction to all. — Mas. 
Payne, Chickerell , near Weymouth ; 
August 10. 
Polyommalus Corydon. — Having with- 
in the last few days captured three or 
four dozen specimens of this species, I 
shall be happy to supply those in need of 
them, provided boxes be sent and postage 
paid. Specimens of other species equally 
rare will be very acceptable in ex- 
change. — G. Pyle, Amesbury, Wiltshire ; 
August 10. 
Erebia Blandina. — I have some dupli- 
cates of this and other local species, 
which I should be happy to exchange 
with any one in want of them. If they 
will write to me, I will send a marked 
list of duplicates and desiderata. — W. 
Cairn es, Head of Church St., Durham; 
August 10. 
CoLEOPTERA. 
Stenolophus elegans. — Within the past 
month 1 have succeeded in taking this 
rare beetle, in the only recorded locality, 
so humourously described by Mr.Douglas, 
between Sheerness and Queensborough. 
A limited number of duplicates still re- 
main with me. I have also, from the 
same district, Bledius tricornis and Hete- 
rocerus obsoletus , which I shall be happy 
to offer to any Coleopterist who may re- 
quire them. — Alfred Haward, 0, Oak 
Terrace , Annerley ; August 5. 
Carabus auratus. — As I have a few 
duplicates of this species to spare, in good 
preservation, also of Sarrotriuvi muticum 
and Cicindela hybrida, I shall be glad to 
exchange with any eutomologist for spe- 
cimens of Cetonia aurata, Elater aneus, 
semiruber, Copris lunaris or Scarabceus 
typhccus. On receipt of a box prepaid 
containing the desiderata I will return 
the same with the insects free of charge. 
These three species were taken last 
May, in the sand-hills at Southport ; the 
latter very plentifully, where I have no 
doubt there are many rare insects. — 
R. Tyrer, jun.. Row Lane, Southport, 
Lancashire; August 5.

NATURAL HISTORY OF THE TINEINA. 
At this season of the year I should like 
to call the attention of my readers to the 
important question, Which of the Ela- 
chista are double-brooded ? 
Passing over the dog-wood miners, 
Pfciff'erella and Treilschkiella, of which 
we know there is but one brood annually, 
and the Clinopodium miner Brunni- 
chella, of which we know there are two 
broods in the year, how is it with the 
grass and Care x, &c., mining species? 
Glcichenella appears to have but one 
brood ; the larva in April and May ; 
imago June, July. 
Magnificella, of which the larva is un- 
known, appears only in July and August. 
(N.B. It is not improbable that the larva 
of this species will, like Brunnichelta, 
mine a labiate plant instead of one of the 
grasses.) 
Apicipunctella, larva unknown ; imago 
in June only. 
Albifrontclla, larva in April and May ; 
imago in June. Should there not be a 
second brood of this species i‘
