THE ENTOMOI.OGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER 
we think it is not yet three years ago, 
yet in that interval what a stride have 
the Natural Sciences, the Sciences of 
Obsen'ation, taken not only in public 
estimation, but in the estimation of those 
connected with our great seats of learn- 
ing, and in the estimation of the Head 
Masters of Schools. Such signs of 
progress are most encouraging.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
J. F. M. — Larvie of Lasiocampa 
Trifolii will no doubt fast during the 
winter. 
H. Z. — Your insect is no doubt the 
female of Didymata. 
C. D. S. — We do not use chloroform ; 
a drop on a piece of cotton-wool placed 
beside the insect to be operated on is, we 
believe, the usual process. Ruhi hyber- 
nates, and must be kept out of doors 
through the winter; it will soon cease 
eating, but will not change till after we 
have seen the new Reform Bill. 
W. G. R. — We are still overjlowiny 
with matter, so that a list of your Rho- 
palocera and Sphingina, if of general 
interest, would be delayed some time. 
Sugar as soon as you can, and try if it is 
too late. 
J. H. — Your larval will probably not 
eat much in the ivinter, though they 
will scarcely assume the pupa state till 
spring: they are probably Ephippiphora 
scutulana. 
The ‘ Annual.’ — We beg to return our 
sincere thanks to those correspondents 
who have sent us notices of captures of 
rare insects for insertion in the forth- 
coming ‘ Annual ;’ these notices we hope 
to publish in our own pages during the 
winter ; for the ‘ Annual ’ we are obliged 
to economise space, as a consolidated list 
of all the British entomologists (now be- 
come a niattcr of necessity) will occupy 
many more pages than has hitherto been 
devoted to the lists of entomologists. For 
the last two years the “ rare British spe- 
cies captured in” has been little more
