rents of rain. The only previously known 
locality for D. Galii in this county was, 
as stated in your ‘ Manual,’ at Felixstowe, 
where the larva was found by Professor 
Henslovv some years ago. — C. R. Bree, 
Stricklands, Stowmar/cet ; September 4. 
Vanessa Antiopa. — Your correspondent 
Mr. Guise is in error as to the Eastern 
Counties being omitted among the lo- 
calities for this butterfly. During the 
last ten years the following have been 
taken in this neighbourhood: — Two at 
Stowmarket; one at Needham Market; 
one at Hitcham by Professor Henslow; 
one at Elmswell (in my collection) ; one 
at Erwaston,near Ipswich (in my brother’s 
collection) ; and he will find “ St.” in the 
‘ Manual.’ — Ibid. 
Appendages to the Proboscis of Anthro- 
cera Trifolii. — I would suggest that 
Mr. Barrett’s so-called Fungi are por- 
tions of the anthers of flowers among 
which the Trifolii’s tongues have been 
revelling. — Ibid. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have this 
season bred a number of specimens of 
S. Pavonia-rninor, T. Cratcegi and A. 
Myrtilli , which I should be happy to ex- 
change for good specimens of any of the 
following: — C. Hyule, A. Cratcegi, L. Si- 
billa, M. Cinxia, P. Avion, P. Adonis, 
S. Tilice, S. Ligustri, A. Villica , C. Pro- 
missa and C. Sponsa. Boxes must be 
sent, and will be returned with the insects 
in exchange. I have also a quantity of 
S. Pavonia-minor in pupa, which I shall 
be happy to exchange with any person 
who maybe in want of it. — T.M eldrum, 
Mill gate, Ripun, Yorkshire ; Sept. 3. 
Fungus on the Proboscis of Anthro- 
cera Trifolii. — Seeing in the ‘ Intelli- 
gencer’ of last week (p. 182), that Mr. 
Barrett has found a curious Fungus (?) 
on the proboscis of Anlhrocera Trifolii, 
I should very much like to examine a 
specimen of it. Having been working at 
the British Fungi for several years, I 
feel very much interested about it, and I 
will make the results of my examination 
known through the medium of the ‘ In- 
telligencer,’ if Mr. Barrett will kindly 
favour me with a specimen of the insect 
thus affected. — E. Parfitt, 4, Weirfield 
Place , St. Leonard's, Exeter ; Sept. 6. 
Captures near Ashford. — I have lately 
caught 
Cynthia Cardui (2), 
Thecla Betulaj (12), 
Colias Hyale (4), 
„ Edusa (6), 
and have found thirty larvae of Chccro- 
campa Elpenor. — A. Russell, Ashford, 
Kent ; September 4. 
Lyonetia Prunifoliella on Birch. — 
Mines similar to those made by this 
insect in sloe leaves occur also on birch, 
rather sparingly. I have bred two speci- 
mens of the perfect insect. — Professor 
Frey, Zurich ; September 2. 
Butalis Noricella. — In June I obtained 
from the Engadine some tips of Epilo- 
bium angustifolium, which were spun to- 
gether by a very lively dark grey, yellow- 
striped larva : in July and August these 
produced three specimens of B. Noricella.

Tischeria gaunacclla. — Last w'eek I re- 
ceived from Herr Hoffman, of Ratisbon, 
larvae of this species. It is surely very 
likely to occur in this country. It mines 
the leaves of the sloe, and the young 
mines are very similar to the young 
mines of T. marginea on the bramble 
leaves, but the mines of T. gaunacclla, 
when the larvae are nearly full-fed, 
contort the sloe leaves considerably, 
causing the edges to turn upwards. —

Doings in the West. — During our re- 
cent stay at Ilfracombe we accidentally 
discovered that moths have a great pen- 
chant for the flowers of the common 
heath, which grows very abundantly on 
the side of Hillsborough facing the 
channel. Here the cliff is almost perpen- 
dicular, and rises to a considerable eleva- 
tion. One evening, while scrambling up 
the hill-side, we found the moths sitting
