THE SUBSTITUTE. 
27 
Number a notice to subscribers re- 
specting my list of duplicates 
published last week, and prevent 
any further application for them. 
I have up to this time received 
exactly a dozen boxes of insects 
per post and railway, besides the 
trilling number of sixteen letters, 
all requiring specimens as early 
as possible. I have supplied those 
whose applications I received first, 
but my stock will soon be ex- 
hausted. Entomologists who do 
not receive an answer to their 
communications within ten days 
from this date, will please under- 
stand that I am unable to meet 
their demand. — William Proc- 
tor, June., Durham; October 
28, 1856. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have 
duplicates of the following: — 
Cidaria didymaria, 
Anticlea rubidaria, 
Harpalyce picaria, 
„ ocellaria, 
„ galiaria, 
PhiEsyle psittacaria, 
Melanippe rivaria, very fine, 
„ amnicularia, 
Emmelesia rivularia, 
Zerene adustaria, 
Ephyra punctaria, 
„ pnraria, 
Ania emarginaria, 
and a great number of other spe- 
cies ; but not having many of 
them it is useless to draw a lot of 
applications for them. Those 
parties who have applied for any 
species mentioned above, and 
have not yet received them, may 
depend upon having them in due 
time : the only reason for the de- 
lay is that my boxes are not re- 
turned as soon as I could wisli. 
Please not to forward any boxes 
when you apply for duplicates. I 
should feel obliged if any one 
would write to me (enclosing a 
marked list of his requirements) 
that could forward me all, or any, 
of the following: — Epione paral- 
lelaria, advenaria and H. sagitta- 
ria. — E. S. Norco mbe, 5, Salu- 
tary Mount, Heavitree, Exeter; 
Oetober 28, 1856.

Phlogophora empyrea. — I un- 
derstand that since the date of my 
last communication other speci- 
mens of Empyrea have been taken, 
but at present I am unable to give 
you particulars. — H. Cooke, 
Brighton; October 2Q, 
Phlogophora empyrea. — It ap- 
pears from the ‘Substitute’ as if 
only three collectors have taken 
P. empyrea this season. Permit 
me to send you a list of captures, 
taken to my knowledge, by myself 
and others in this locality, which 
can be verified by Mr. Foxcroft, 
who accompanied me on the 14th 
October inst., on which day I cap- 
tured three P. empyrea and one 
Agrotis Saucia, and Mr. Foxcroft 
at the same time captured two P. 
empyrea. On the 17th inst. Mr. 
Howse and Mr. Hemmings cap- 
tured one P. empyrea each. On
