I proceed to make a lew remarks upon 
these insects. 
1. Solenobia inconspicuella. Of this 
I received several larvte from Herr Hof- 
mann, of llatisbon, which produced spe- 
cimens quite similar to those we take 
near London. Mr. Gregson sent me some 
cases found on grit-stones in Lancashire, 
but these only produced a single female (!) 
Mr. Edleston deems the grit-stone species 
distinct. 
2. Ochsenheimcria Birdella. This 
abounded, as usual, within a hundred 
yards of where I am now writing. In 
July I can take any quantity, if any one 
still wants it. 
3. O. Bisoniella. I met with a single 
specimen of this near the Bridge of Allan 
last August; I put it in a pill-box in my 
waistcoat-pocket (not having any ap- 
paratus with me), and it actually re- 
mained alive for a fortnight, and in that 
period travelled to Aberdeen, Loch Lo- 
mond, Edinburgh, and eventually to 
Lewisham, when it was transferred from 
the waistcoat-pocket to the killing-bottle, 
and this long-lived and travelled Ochsen- 
heiineria departed this life. 
4. Inc.urvaria peclinea. Of this spe- 
cies I bred two from larvae on birch 
leaves, sent me the previous summer by 
Mr. R. Cook. I am still anxious to see 
the young mining larva. 
5. Swaminerdamia griseocapilella. I 
bred this rather frficly from larvae col- 
lected on birch trees at .\bbey Wood, in 
September, 1857. The colour of the head 
of the perfect insect varies much ; in some 
specimens it is nearly white, yet there is 
an appearance about the anterior wings 
which makes the insect look different 
from the hawthorn-leediiig specimens. 
The larva of S. Pruni, so strikingly dif- 
ferent from that of S. griseocapilella, pro- 
duces a moth we can scarcely distinguish 
from the last-named species. 
6. Depressaria Hofinanni. Of this I 
reared two specimens from larvae sent me 
from Ratisbon by Herr Hofmanu; these 
larv’ae feed on At/iamanta Libanotif in 
May. 
7. D. Angelicella. A correspondent^ 
immediately on the appearance of No. 87 
of the ‘ Intelligencer,’ with the crumpled 
leaf of JEgopodium Podagraria, posted to 
me some larvae, which he hoped would be 
the long-sought Illigercllus ; the plant, 
however, was Angelica, and in due course 
the larvae were developed as D. Angeli- 
cella. Mistakes will occur; our corres- 
pondent will perhaps have better luck 
next time. — H. T. Stainton; Jan. 14.

A CO-OPERATIVE ENTOMOLOGICAL 
SOCIETY. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — The great length of time which 
an individual must work, unless he make 
extensive jturchases, before being able to 
amass anything like a complete collec- 
tion, coupled with the inconvenience 
and expense, inherent in the ordinary 
system of exchanging, has induced me 
to consider how the dilliculty may be 
overcome; anil I beg to offer to my 
brother entomologists the following 
sketch of a scheme, which may doubtless 
be improved upou. 
Let a Society be established, with its 
head-quarters in London, and called the 
“ Co-oj)crativc Entomological Society,” 
or any other approjtrialc name, with an
