THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
77 
Was hailed by “ Holloa ! I say, you be 
going the wrong road ! ” Thinking I 
was trespassing, I awaited my supposed 
keeper, but was glad to find only a kind- 
hearted countryman, wishing to put me 
in a better locality for my sport : he con- 
tinued by saying, “You be going the 
wrong road for the Glories (meaning 
Endromis)\ this ’ere’s the road for 
them (pointing to another part of the 
Forest); they gets lots of good things 
out there ; they gets a thing they call 
‘hobby! — hobbydy!”’ Here my friend 
came to a stop ; he could not think of its 
name, but suddenly he recollected it was 
“ hobbvdy-hoides 1 ” I was considerably 
puzzled at the knowledge of my com- 
panion, but came to the conclusion that 
it was Diclcenides slightly provincialized.

EXCHANGE. 
Nemeobius Lucina. — I have a quantity 
of this insect to spare, and should be 
glad to supply any one in want of it, on 
receipt of a box and return postage. — 
Isaac Swinden, 236, iSyal/t Street, Park, 
Sheffield. 
Stock exhausted. — The duplicates men- 
tioued in No. Ill of the ‘ Intelligencer’ 
are all exhausted. Gentlemen who have 
not received answers to their letters, I 
hope will not think me wanting in cour- 
tesy, as it is impossible for me to answer 
all the letters received. — W. H. Latch- 
ford, 11 , Pleasant Roiv, Islington, N. 
A Box of Insects smashed. — One of my 
numerous correspondents has been (I 
must say n) foolish enough to send three 
specimens of Polyommatus Adonis and 
one of Pamphila Comma by ihe post in 
a common chip pill-box, such as are used 
when out sugaring, and the consequence 
is that it arrived completely smashed — 
insects and all. Not being able to make 
out the name and address of the sender, 
I take this opportunity of acquainting 
him with the sad disaster.— IniD, 
Exchange. — I have duplicates of the 
following species, as numbered in the 
‘ Manual:’— 3, 13, 15, 22, .38, 46, 54, 57, 
65, 71, 72, 86, 87, 145, 147, 173, &c., 
which I should be glad to exchange for 
any of the undermentioned: — 4, 9, 11, 
20, 23, 24, 28, 31, 35, 41, 42, 43, 44, 52, 
53, 59, 61, 63, 66, 69, 74, 75, any of the 
Clear-wings, 103, 110,112, 136, 137, 144, 
any Lithosia, 163, 167, 172, 181, 184, 
205. In Noctuina my wants are almost 
too numerous to mention. Letters and 
boxes to be addressed — Miss Wilkin- 
son, St. Andrews, Guernsey. 
An Appeal to. the Benevolent. — Having 
had the first volume of the ‘ Manual ’ in- 
terleaved, I am now drawing and colour- 
ing the Spbingidae and Bombyces in it. 
I am anxious not to insert any species 
unless copied from nature. Of the fol- 
lowing I have no specimens : — 
D. Livornica, T. Allanlifovme, 
C. Celerio, C. Bicuspis, 
T. Vespiforme, N. Tritophus, 
Chrysidiforme, G. llicifolia, 
Sphegiforme, P. Sicula. 
I should feel greatly obliged to any 
brother entomologist who would kindly 
lend me a specimen of any of the above, 
especially of the species of Trochilium. 
The utmost possible care would be taken 
of it, and postage of course paid both 
ways. I am aware that this is a very 
unusual request, and feel that I shall 
have no right to be disappointed if it is 
not acceded to. A foreign specimen, 
how'ever, would be equally acceptable, if 
presenting no difference from those found 
in this country. — Rev. J. Greene, Cub- 
ley Rectory, Doveridge, Derby. 
THE BRITISH TOETRICES. 
As many are anxious to be arranging 
their collections during the winter months.
