THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

R. G. K. — Thanks for the extracts: 
sorry for your disappointment. 
Ivy. — Several correspondents wish to 
call attention to the unusually early 
blossoming of the ivy this season. At 
Faversham the “ivy is in its fullest 
luxuriance of bloom.” At Newliaven 
“ the ivy is now opening its petals.’’ 
J. J. R. — Your larva is Dasycliira 
pudibunda. 
Siona dealbaria. — This is local, but 
is generally constant to the spots it in- 
habits, and no doubt you will find it 
again next year. 
W. S. — The larvae sent appear to be 
young Arctia Caja, if not Spilosorna 
Menthrasti. Many juvenile larvae skele- 
tonise leaves in the way you mention. 
Lists or Duplicates and Desi- 
deeata. — Long lists take up so much 
space that we must request our readers to 
use the numerals prefixed to the names 
of the species in the Appendix to the 
first volume of the * Manual of British 
Butterflies and Moths,’ instead of writing 
the names. 
Change of Addbess. — Till further 
notice my address will be — R ev. Joseph 
Geeene, 17 , Fitzwilliam Square North, 
Dublin; September 18, 1857 . 
COMMUNICATIONS. 
Lepidofteka. 
Bad success at, Sugar. — Since the 3rd 
of J uly T have sugared in all fifteen times, 
and, with the exception of one X. Ile- 
patica, in Flintshire, and one Noctua, in 
Derbyshire, which I have not yet made 
out (it may be common enough), I have 
not taken a single moth worth having. 
Before the above date, I had . very fair 
sport, especially on the 1st of July, when 
my friend Mr. F. Archer and myself took 
three Leucania Comma, one M. Abjecta, 
three M. Persicarice, two or three M. 
Suasa. L. Infesta, two Agrotis Suffusa, 
three A. Corticea, two A. Advena, and 
lots of common ones. Perhaps, if you 
would kindly give this a place in the 
* Intelligencer,’ some of your readers 
might be induced to say whether sugaring 
has been equally unprofitable with them. 
I sugared to-night, and only saw one 
wasted X anthographa. — A. O. Walkeu, 
Chester ; September 15. 
Ancient Roman and Greek Coins in 
exchange for Mollis and Butterflies . — I 
have between 150 and 200 brass and 
copper coins (most of them named), which 
I shall be glad to exchange for Lepi- 
doptera. — Joseph Langcake, Mill Shaw, 
Beeston, near Leeds; Sept. 19. 
Acheronlia Alropos. — The larva of 
A. Atropos has been rather plentiful here : 
I have already] captured fifty full-grown 
ones. I have also again- succeeded in 
taking the larva; of C. Chamomillce in 
some plenty this year, the perfect insect 
or the pupa of which I shall be most 
happy to exchange for perfect specimens 
of Colias Hyale. I have also larva or 
pupa of A. Atropos, which I will ex- 
change for the above species, or the 
female of E. versicolora. — J. B. Ryder, 
15, Navy Roiv, Morice Town, Plymouth ; • 
September 19. 
Duplicate Lepuloptera. — Applications 
have been so numerous for my duplicates 
that I cannot reply to all, so those who 
have not heard from me will please to 
understand that my stock is exhausted. — 
Edward S. Bonney, Churchdale House, 
Rugeley. 
Appendages to the Proboscis of Anthro- 
cera Trifolii . — I have carefully examined 
‘these appendages on the specimens of 
A. Trifolii sent me by Mr. Barrett, and 
find that they are the filaments bearing 
the pollen-masses of the bee Orchis 
( Ophrys apifera), which is scattered over
