THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
escaped observation, may mainly be 
caused by the fact that we have had 
an unusually hot summer; and though 
of course, if the expected severe winter 
should come, there will be no lack of 
persons ready to say, “ I told you so ; 
I was sure of it when I saw the Coleo- 
phura Ian® so large last autumn,” 
all that their size proves to us is, what 
has taken place.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
H. Cranston, Marston. — 1 , Cosmia 
diffinis ; 3, Gonoptera Libatrix ; 2, can-

J. J., Jun. — The larva sent appears to

Cnicus palustris (the case is not unlike a 
gigantic case of Solitariella ) ; from llcrr
