THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
A new Society was, however, esta- 
blished before 1776, under the same 
title of the Society of Aurelians ; of its 
precise duration History is uncertain, 
but in 1780 another Society sprang 
up, as the Society of Entomologists of 
London, and lived two years. In 1801 
a new Society was started called the 
Aurelian Society : this continued in ex- 
istence for several years, and, in 1806, 
adopted the title of the Entomological 
Society of London, and, in 1812, it 
published a volume of ‘Transactions’ — 
a volume of especial interest to the 
Lepidopterist, from the original descrip- 
tions it contains of several Noctuae and 
Geometrse : this appears, however, to 
have been an expiring effort of the 
Society, which shortly afterwards be- 
came defunct, and is now only known 
as the old Entomological Society of 
London. 
The existing Entomological Society 
dates but from 1833: however, we must 
return to this subject again, as space 
forbids more at present. Our readers 
will bear in mind, however, that the 
Entomological Society of London is 
still in existence, and meets on Monday 
next, at 8 p.m., at 12, Bedford Row, 
Holborn.

ligencer may be obtained

Lewi sham, near London, S.E. No notice 
will be taken of anonymous communica- 
tions. 
Mr. Stainton will be “at home” on

6 P.M., as usual. 
LEUCANIA VITELLINA. 
Our wood-cut this week represents the 
species of Leucania taken, two years 
ago, near Brighton, by Mr. Cooke. A 
fine specimen, taken by Mr. Bouchard, 
is in the collection of the British Mu- 
seum; and, if we are not mistaken, 
specimens may be seen in a collection 
in the West of England, which were 
sent from Yorkshire as Euperia fulvago ; 
perhaps other collections possess it under 
the same name. 
TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
J. G. C. — C-album is commoner than 
usual this year. 
F. B. W. W. — Your beetle is com- 
mon, — Cassida Viridis (the green tortoise 
beetle). 
H. A. — The larva in the stems of 
Solatium dulcamara is no doubt Gelcchia 
costella ; it also mines the leaves and ex- 
plores the interior of the fruit. 
Several interesting communications 
necessarily stand over, for want of 
8]>aee.
