THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

parish, I knocked a large Geometrous 
larva off ash, which I at once recognized 
as something I had never seen before : it 
was evidently a larva of some species of 
Ennomos, and as I had previously bred 
all that genus from the larva, with the 
exception of E. fuscanlaria, I at once 
decided that it must be the larva of that 
insect. The result proved the truth of 
my suspicion, fur on September 15th a 
beautiful male E. fuscanlaria made its 
appearance. The larva was of a uniform 
bright yellowish green, slightly clouded 
with brown on the back. It had a beau 
tiful smooth, glossy appearance, which 
at once distinguishes it from the green 
variety of the larva of E. angularia. 
Some three or four years since I bred a 
hopelessly crippled specimen of E. al- 
niaria from a larva which I beat amongst 
a number of E. angularia in Bucking- 
hamshire. I at once detected a slight 
difference in its appearance and placed 
it by itself. It was on the point of laying 
up, and in a few days turned to a most 
singular mottled pupa. I saw at once 
that it was not Erosaria, Tiliaria or 
Angularia, with the pupa of which I 
was previously acquainted, and in about 
three weeks’ time a crippled Alniaria 
made its appearance. It was such a 
wretched-looking creature, and I have 
such an objection to cripples of every 
description, that I threw it away in dis- 
gust. I have learned wisdom since, and 
probably shall not cease to lament my 
folly to my dying day. The wood in 
which I beat it consisted almost entirely 
of beech, but as there were a few oaks, 
birches and maples, and I had beaten 
them as well, I cannot be certain what it 
fed upon. — Rev. H. Hakpur Cue we,

Colias Eclusa . — A fine specimen was 
taken in a garden in this town a few days 
since. It is very rare here : a female was 
taken two years ago in a potato field near 
this house ; but, besides these, I know of 
no other instances ol its capture. — R ev.

Street, Westminster, S.W. — Ibid. 
Duplicate Larvee. — I have a few young 
larvae of L. Quercus, C. Dominula and 
P. Fuliginosa, also some specimens of 
Polia Chi and Brynphila perla, which I 
should be glad to exchange for larva of 
Anarta Myrtilli or pupa of S. Ocel- 
latus. — W. Oates, Burley, Leeds ;

Something more about Scotch Edusa. 
— The morning of Saturday, the 12th 
inst., was very fine, and so thought the 
butterflies. Accordingly down the shore 
I sallied, intending to pay a visit to a 
certain field, where I fancied I should 
most likely meet with C. Edusa: nor 
was I mistaken. I had scarcely reached 
the field, when a beautiful Edusa glad- 
dened my eyes, which, after a short but 
exciting run, became an inmate of my 
collecting-box. But I perceived all the 
good things were not for me alone : ano- 
ther entomologist was a-field, who had 
not been idle, as he showed me a couple 
of male Edusa which he had taken au 
hour or two before. So, without loss of
