164 THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
39. C. fuscedinella. The Rev. G.Rud- 
ston Read sent me some larvae feeding on 
Mijrica Gale, at the beginning of June; 
from their cases these were clearly not 
C. vimineiella, and I hoped to have bred 
something new ; to my chagrin I only 
bred C. fuscedinella. 
40. C. viminetella. Two larvae, which 
had probably accidentally lost their old 
cases, had provided themselves with new 
ones, which were made all in a piece, 
and rather shapeless; the insect pro- 
duced, however, was only the normal 
C. vimineiella. 
41. C. Limosipennella. Of this I bred 
several from larvae collected on birch, at 
Hampstead, by Mr. Shield : they are 
paler than specimens I had previously 
bred from elm and alder. 
42. Batrachedra pmicolella. On visit- 
ing Hartford Heath, on the 30th of June, 
I was fortunate in finding a number of 
this species sitting on the palings. 
43. Chauliudus IlligereLlus. No Eng- 
lish correspondent sent me this larva, but 
I received some from Herr Miihlig; the 
Rev. E. Horton informs me that he met 
with the larva, and hopes to find it again 
next season. 
44. Laverna propinquella. In February 
last Mr. Wilkinson, of Scarborough, sent 
me larva3 of this species, mining the 
young leaves of Epilobium hirsulum, 
and I bred three fine specimens ; two 
of them, however, come very close to 
L. lacleella. 
45. L. Phragmilella. At the end of 
May, Mr. Brown, of Cambridge, sent me 
several larv:e of this species in the tops 
of Typha lalifolia, and I bred several 
specimens of the perfect insect. 
47. Asychna lerminella. I bred a few 
specimens of this from larvae collected 
the previous September, near Ticehurst, 
in Sussex. 
48. Elacliisla Gleichenella. I bred 
this species from larvae collected at West 
Wickham, in April, in the leaves of 
Luzula pilusa, and also from larva; from 
the fens near Norwich, forwarded to me 
by Mr. Winter; these were in the leaves 
of Carex paniculala and paludosa. Some 
of the fen specimens are much larger 
than usual for Gleichenella. 
49. E. magnijicella. Of this I bred 
four specimens from larvae collected at 
West Wickham, in April and May, in 
the leaves of Luzula pilosa, and three 
from larvae received from Herr Ottmar 
Hofmann (then at Erlangen), early in 
July, in the leaves of Luzula albida. It 
appears to be in the larva-state a long, 
long time. 
61. E. trapeziella. Mr. Scott, of Mid- 
dlesboro’, and Mr. Wilkinson, of Scar- 
borough, supplied me freely with the 
larvae of this pretty species, and I bred a 
fine series. 
52. E. subnigrella. I collected the 
larvae of this freely, near Croydon, on the 
3rd and 15th of April, and shall be 
happy to forward larvae this spring to 
those who want it. — H. T. Sxainxon ;

CONTINENTAL SETTING OF LEPI- 
DOPTERA. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Sir, — In No. 1 18 of the ‘ Intelligencer’ 
appeared a letter from Dr. Staudinger 
upon the often-debated subjects of col- 
lecting, pinning and setting British Lepi- 
doptera. Does the silence which prevails 
in this matter betoken indiflerence or 
acquiescence ? It may be the former, as 
the arguments arc no better than they 
were of old ; and it may be the entire ac- 
quiescence of the British I.epidopterisls, 
who perhaps have renounced their old 
notions and taken to new, influenced by 
the e.xtended ideas and under the leader- 
ship of a “ True Vorkshiremau,” and who 
will, in the beginning, receive assistance
