E. Uuifasciata. At light. 
E. Plumbeolata. P. 
Dodonseata. P. 
M. Eivata. By beating. 
C. Gemniaria. $ and ^,by beating, 
and at light. 
C. Psittacata. At light. Ivy, and P. 
iMiata. At light. Psittacata ought 
to have “ Ex. ! ” and Miata only “ Ex.”, 
the former occurring in the proportion 
of a hundred to one of the latter. 
E. Bipunctaria. By beating. 
Lineolata. On sand-hills. 
D. Literalis. At light. Not knowing 
what I had taken I peeped into the pill- 
box to see, and in shutting it again quite 
spoiled the beauty of tbe specimen. 
P. Stratiolata. At light.

fish), waljiing down the trunks of oak 
trees in October.

at the end of twigs. — Talpa. 
OBSEEVATIONS. 
A new British Depressaria. — I took a 
beautiful female D. Rhodochrella, in the 
middle of August last, at Blackpool ; it 
is a splendid creature when alive, and 
the black head and thorax make it look 
very conspicuous; I met with two of 
them, beating them out of earth banks, 
that do duly in that part of the world 
for fences. — R. S. Edleston, Rorcrfore ; 
January 7. 
[We believe we have seen the same in- 
sect taken at Charlton amongst Atomella, 
but we thought at the time it was only a 
freaky individual of that species about 
to play “ Othello.” The Continental 
entomologists repute it a good distinct 
species, and Herrich-Schiilier describes 
it twice, once as Rhodochrella and once as 
Himmighofenella^ 
Cocoon of Chrysopa. — I observe in 
Dr. Hagen’s valuable paper on the 
British Planipennes, in the * Entomolo- 
gist’s Annual’ for 1858, he says, at p.21, 
“ Cocoon of Chrysopa, of the form of a 
barrel of thick-sj)un silk.” I should wish 
Dr. Hagen to be informed that I have 
had the larv® of this genus turn into the 
cocoon, and one now in my possession is 
of a perfectly globular or round form, 
about the size of a small pea and of a 
delicate white silk. — W. F. Evans,

EXCHANGE. 
Exchange. — I have duplicates of the 
following, as numbered in the ‘ Ma- 
nual’;— 12, 15, 32, 34, 36, 37, 40, 65, 
71, 89, 145, 177, 374, 376, 403, also 
H. Pennaria, H. Aurantiaria and H, 
Defoliaria. My desiderata are — 3, 5,11, 
23, 33, 38, 39, 42, 43, 50, 55, 62, 63, 66. 
I wish to exchange 89 for T. Betulai and 
G. Pruni. As I have only six specimens, 
gentlemen must write first. — Joseph 
Hutchings, 11 , Heworth Road, Yor/c;

MR. WATERHOUSE’S CATALOGUE OF 
COLEOPTERA. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligeneer.' 
Sir, — Several entomologists who saw 
my protest against Mr. Janson’s remarks 
in the ‘ Annual,’ expressed the opinion 
“ that I had not gone far enough.” Now, 
at the time that I wrote, I was perfectly 
aware that I had not gone far enough for 
some purposes, but I thought I had said 
enough to extract from Mr. Janson the 
grounds he had for his assertions : I was 
sure that it was utterly impossible for
