148 THE ENTOMOLOGISTS WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
often solitary, one sometimes meets with 
individuals so amiable that five or six 
will live harmoniously together. On two 
occasions I found that the larva, not 
satisfied with the natural protection of 
tlie web, had pressed a great coat into 
its service, in the form of an old seed-pod 
of the Ulex. The outer web is tolerably 
thick and fluffy-looking, but besides that, 
nearly every larva is separately enveloped 
in a white robe de sole. The creatures 
were all quite active, by no means torpid, 
but then it was a mild, spring-like day, 
and, with the thermometer above 50° and 
a light breeze from the south west, tor- 
pidity was not to be expected. Owing to 
tlie dry season Wimbledon Common was 
far from being in its normal state; it 
was comfortable and clean walking, and 
the wet places were all dry ! Genista 
anglica was putting forth its young green 
leaves, without any superfluous moisture 
at the roots of the plants. Thus I opened 
my season of 1859. — H. T. SxiiNTON ;

Most of the above are in good, and some

cases, 1 have only single specimens for 
exchange, applicants will please write 
before sending insects. On the British 
list I should be particularly glad ol' Jine 
specimens of P. Arlaxerxes for several 
Continental friends, also of a few Pyy- 
maiola and Liltoralis. 1 will send a list 
of my chief wants in the European Lcpi-

insects are “ set in the English style,” — 
the greater number are on the Continental
