172 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCEB. 
Wickham in September, 1857; I sus- 
pected at the time it would prove to be 
this species, as the mine was so very much 
larger than that of L. ulmifoliella. 
63. L. Cydoniella. I ought to have 
bred this, — perhaps I have done so, but 
I cannot believe it; all the specimens 
which I bred appear to me only Pomi- 
foliella ; three of them came from Exeter, 
and one from Lyons, but all differ from 
the true Cydoniella in wanting its red- 
dish tinge, and in the third dorsal spot 
not being opposite to the costal spot. 
65. L. Nicella. I bred three speci- 
mens, one from a nut-leaf picked at West 
Wickham, and two from nut-leaves re- 
ceived from Mr. Scott. 
67. Cemiostoma IVailesella. I bred one 
specimen of this insect from the larvaj on 
Genista tinctoria, sent me in August, 
1857, by Mr. Wailes. 
68. Opostega Salaciella. I collected 
this insect rather freely in a sandy field 
near Guildford, on the evening of the 
17th of June. I had never seen the 
insect in any plenty before. 
69. Bucculatrix Artemisiella. I bred 
several of this species from larvae received 
from Herr Hofmann at the end of April. 
Its food-plant is Artemisia campeslris, 
70. B. marilima. Thanks to the per- 
severance and industry of Mr. Vaughan, 
who sent me the larvae of this species 
from the banks of the Avon, I bred a 
considerable number; the perfect insect 
is very variable; the mine of the larva is 
very Dipterous-looking, and might easily 
be passed unnoticed by a Lepidopterist, 
but, bearing this in mind, it is very con- 
spicuous, and should be easily found by 
those who have access to its food-plant. 
Aster Tripolium. The larvae were full- 
fed at the end of May. 
71. B. cristatella. I bred a few spe- 
cimens of this from larvae collected near 
Scarborough by Mr. Wilkinson. 
72. Nepticula Scpleinbrella. I bred a 
few of this species from pupa; collected 
at West Wickham last spring; I shall 
probably again meet with the pupae m 
the next two months. Does any one 
want them ? 
73. N. Belulicola. I bred a few spe- 
cimens of what appeared to me to be 
this species from larvae collected at West 
Wickham, in September, 1857. 
75. N.Freyella. Of this species I bred 
two or three specimens from larvae in 
Convolvulus leaves, received from Herr 
Hofmann, of Katisbon, in October, 1857. 
76. N. Agrimonice. Of this species I 
bred several from larvae on Agrimonia 
Eupatoria, received along with the pre- 
ceding. This is the insect which makes 
its cocoon inside the mine. (See Intel, 
iv. p. 43.) 
77. Trifurcula pulverosella. Of this 
species I bred a nice series from the 
blotch-mines in apple-leaves : the larvae 
may be collected between the 20th and 
30th of June, but must not be expected 
in the perfect slate till the following May. 
Hence they must be kept out of doors, or 
they infallibly dry up. — H. T. Sxainton;

PUOrOSPiD CO-OPERATIVE ENTO- 
MOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — I have read with pleasure Mr. 
Merrill’s letter in the ‘ Intelligencer’ of 
the 5lh of February, in which he sug- 
gests the formation of a Society for the 
exchange of entomological specimens, — 
an idea which I have myself entertained, 
though I never publicly brought it for- 
ward. 
From my experience in connection 
with the Botanical Societies of Edin- 
burgh and Loudon, which did for Botany 
what Mr. Merrin’s proposed Society 
would do for Entomology, I have no 
doubt that the greatest dilliculty would 
he a financial one: this was the rock on 
which the London Botauical Society
