antennae, and had the tips of the wings 
much rubbed. Indeed, it soon became 
quite a saying, when any one got a 
very shabby specimen, hardly worth 
taking, “ Oh ! it will do for Barnes ; 
he’ll call it a fine specimen!” and the 
soubriquet “ one of Barues’ fine speci- 
mens” was given to many a moth in 
miserable plight.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
R. H. F. inquires “ Is it of common 
occurrence to find eggs of Lepidoptera 
ichneumoned ?” It is not uncommon. 
W. W. M., Gildersome. — We believe 
your Cerura larva to be that of V inula. 
No doubt it will grow much larger. The 
other two larvae you mention are Hy- 
menopterous, belonging to the family of 
saw-flies. 
Vanessa Polychloros. — Nothing un- 
usual; we have always found that this 
species disappears, — that is, retires to 
its winter quarters earlier than its con- 
geners. 
H. W. B., Little Germains. — No. 1 
is no doubt Alexis £ ; No. 2 is probably 
Alexis $ . 
H. Z. — The eggs are those of the lace- 
winged fly or golden eye. See Dallas’ 
* Elements of Entomology,’ No. 9, p.206. 
F. B., Sheffield. — Your pumpkin 
received with thanks.
