THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
at Bembridge during the three years of 
my stay there. I began with all the 
commoner species; I ended with C. Al- 
chymista. Why, because I economized 
my time, from my daily working of the 
different localities, and from the daily 
record of captures in the Diary, I knew 
at once, each day, where to go to find the 
best thing. 
Thus a Diary will supply the ^vhen 
and whe>e ; the how is only to be 
learned from close observation — some- 
times chance ; practice makes perfect. 
Yours truly, 
A. Wallace.

LEPIDOPTEROUS LARViE. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — You will be pleased to hear that 
Mrs. Cox and I have resumed our 
charming and most interesting task of 
pourtraying the British larvte, and we 
should feel particularly obliged to you if 
you would, through the medium of the 
‘ Intelligencer,’ make it known among 
our brother entomologists (very many of 
whom have assisted us, and others only 
delay until we make this announcement) 
that we are very happy to pay postage if 
our friends will only send larvae, clearly 
stating the food-plant, and also attaching 
to the box a fly-label with my name, to 
be stamped; for if this be not done the 
box is sure to be smashed in and its 
contents destroyed. Our list, as far we 
have gone, accompanies this note ; we 
have copied about sixty which we do not 
know the names of. 
Yours, &c., 
C. J. Cox.

FOUND, CHARLES TURNER. 
To the Editor of the ' Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — Will you oblige me by saying, 
through the medium of your paper, that 
I have now received from Mr. Charles 
Turner the amount of my subscription, 
as it is necessary that all should know 
this through the same source as I made 
the inquiry. 
Yours respectfully, 
John Scott.
