this insect ; as I have had little difficulty 
in obtaining it in plenty, I will endeavour 
to enlighten hira as to my method of pro- 
curing them. Let him visit the sand- 
hills on the coast some fine warm day 
about the end of May, when he will not 
fail to observe the tracks made by the 
larvae crawling on the sand at the edges 
of the patches of dwarf willows ; by tracing 
one of these he will find it abruptly ter- 
minate at a small hillock or upheaving 
of the sand, under which is the larva. 
Having once become acquainted with 
them he need not trace the tracks, but, 
avoiding making too many tracks himself, 
carefully search for the hillocks or bur- 
rows, where he will have no difficulty in 
procuring as many as he likes. I have 
taken in this way upwards of eighty in 
an hour, and there is little difficulty in 
rearing them ; mine fed well on the 
willow, the perfect insect appearing in 
August. — G. A. Almond, 50, Oliver St.,

Leucania Littoralis. — The larva of this 
insect, which is stated in the ‘ Manual ’ 
as “ undescribed,” I have taken equally 
as plentifully as the above, in April, by 
searching with a lantern, about 8 p. m., 
on Aminophila arundinacea, here locally 
termed “star-grass.” — Ibid.

28. Coleophora Luffduniella. M. Mil- 
liere, of Lyons, sent me a number of larvaj 
of this species, at the end of May ; their 
cases, with flaps larger than those of 
C. palliaiella, are very remarkable ; the 
larviE feed on the leaves of Vicia Cracca, 
eating the whole thickness. The perfect 
insect is allied to C. vibicella, but far 
more elegant: I bred about half-a-dozen 
specimens. 
30. C. bilineatella. I bred several of 
this species from larvae on Genista tinc- 
toria, sent me by Herr Hofmann, of 
Ralisbon, in June, 
31. C. trifariella. I bred a few spe- 
cimens of this from larvae on Cytisus 
nigricans, also received from Herr Hof- 
mann, in June. 
32. C. anatipennella. I bred this both 
from the typical case on sloe and from 
the fluffy cases on sallow, sent me by 
Mr. Winter and Mr. Gregson: the latter 
cases ought to have produced a distinct 
species, according to the ideas of Dr. 
Herrich-SchafiTer and Mr. Gregson ; but 
I cannot discover that perfect insects 
afford any grounds for such an “affirma- 
tion.” 
35. C. Genistm. I met with a great 
many larvae of this species on one bush 
at Dartford Heath, on the 7lh of June; 
many were then fed up, and had attached 
their cases, but none appeared in the 
perfect state till the 14lh of July, when 
I had nearly tired of waiting for them, 
and had thought seriously of throwing 
them away. The previous year I 
took the perfect insect June 20lh and 
26 th. 
36. C. Injiatce. This insect was not 
very scarce near Guildford on the evening 
of the memorable bot 16th of June. 
37. C. troglodytella. I bred a speci- 
men of what appears to be this species 
from a larva sent me from Ratisbon by 
Herr Hofmann, who found it feeding on 
the leaves of the yarrow. 
38. C. murinipennella. On the 4 th of 
May I bred a specimeu of this insect from 
Ltizula-hdvvsd sent me the previous sea- 
son by Mr. Wilkinson, of Scarborough. 
The specimen differs a little from my 
previous series of Murinipennella, being 
larger, less streaked and the antenme 
white, unannulated. I mention this be- 
cause Mr. Allis and Mr. Wilkinson are 
disposed to think that two diff’erent spe- 
cies of Coleophora feed on the seeds of 
the Luzula. Time will show.
