Cirrcedia Xerampelina bred. — I bred 
this insect from larvae, which I found in 
July, hiding in the cracks of the bark of 
an ash tree, after the manner of Oxya- 
canlhce on oak trees ; they fed upon the 
leaves. So far as I can recollect, they 
were light grey, and marbled with black 
and while ; a similar larva, in appearance, 
to Oxyacanthce, but paler.— J ohn Sang,

ENTOMOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.’ 
Sir, — Would you kindly inform me if 
anything has been settled on the subject 
of the Entomological Examinations. I

they are likely to take place next Christ- 
mas. 
In the present state of Entomology in 
this country, something in the way of 
Examinations would certainly be most 
desirable; it would separate the chaff 
from the wheat, — it would separate those 
who collect insects from entomologists. 
I think no plan of Examination would 
succeed better than one proposed by a 
correspondent in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ some 
months bank, — namely, that of having 
first an Examination in Entomology in 
general, which must, in every case, be 
passed before the candidate is allowed to 
pass his Examination in any of the 
Orders.

A CALENDAR OF LEPIDOPTERA. 
To the Editor qf the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — One of the first things I did, 
after obtaining your excellent little 
‘ Manual,’ was to make from it a list of 
such butterflies, moths and larvse as were 
to appear each month ; and, during the 
year 1858, 1 found I had very materially 
facilitated my labours, both in searching 
for and discovering the names of the 
several species. 
If you think this list would be service- 
able to any of your younger readers I
