I also observed Coiias Edusa on the wing

ill that nciglibouihood. The larva; of 
A. Atiojios were very abundant. 1 hud 
one larva of S. Ocellatns, which went to 
earth, but has died in the pupa state. 
Since I have come down here I have 
had three pup® giv'en me of A. Atropos, 
which are quite lively. I have also seen 
several C. Edusa . — Rev. G. C. Green,

beautiful specimens of Xanthia Gilvago 
(male and female) in my breeding-cage, 
on tlie Kith inst. During the last four- 
teen days I have taken the following 
species at sugar : — 
Cymatophora Diluta, 
Agroiis Suffusa (common), 
Noctua Glareosa, 
„ Xanlhographa (common), 
Anthocelis Rufina (common), 
Xanthia Cerago,

One of the females of Glareosa has de- 
posited from fifty to sixty eggs. Will 
any of the readers of the ‘ Intelligencer ’ 
be kind enough to inform me what they 
feed on? — James Battv, 133, South 
Street, Park, Sheffield; Sept. 20. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Eupithecia . — Lovers of this interesting 
group should now devote their time to 
the collecting of the larva ; I have col- 
lected from off plants, without exaggera- 
ting, some ten or twelve dozen larv® (of 
course many are of one species). I 
should think I have ten or twelve species, 
although I doubt much whether the dif- 
ferent species of the Eupithecia can be 
separated from the larva, as some are so 
very variable ; others are decidedly dif- 
ferent although feeding on the same 
plant. — F. O. Standisii, 2, Alfred Cot- 
tages, Warner Hoad, Camberwell;
