THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera . — Captures at 
ivy, of which I hope soon to trouble you 
with an account, demand room in our 
cabinet ; I wish therefore to get rid of a 
good many spare specimens of A.Galathea , 
M. Artemis, II. Semele and Hyperanthus, 
T. Quercus, T. Alveolus and Tages, and 
of A. Trifolii, all in very good condition, 
and shall be happy to exchange to the 
end of the Geometrae ; or, in the case of 
incipients who may be unable to make a 
return, I find, from late experience, that 
I must request them to enclose box and 
postage, and in all cases first to communi- 
cate by letter. — W. D. Crotch, Uphill 
House, Weston-super-Mare ; Oct. 23. 
Captures near Hammersmith . — During 
the last season I have met with the fol- 
lowing species here: —

— D. Ross Taylor, 4, Alpha Cottages, 
New Road, Hammersmith ; October 20.

or six weeks I have collected the following 
pupae : — 
P. Machaon, 
S. Apiformis, 
S. Ligustri, 
S. Tiliae, 
Ocellatus, 
Populi, 
C. Furcula, 
Vinula, 
N. Dictaea, 
Ziczac, 
P. Palpina, 
S. Yenosa, 
B. Hirtaria, 
Prodromaria, 
Betularia, 
&c., See. 
I took, round one crab-apple tree, the 
great number of eight dozen and two 
pupte: all of them, I believe, are Geo- 
metrte. — W. Fauren, jun., King's Old 
Calcway, Cambridge ; October 21. 
Eriogasler Lanestris . — I have pupae of 
this insect to exchange for either pupae 
or perfect insects. I have also a few 
duplicates of P. Populi to spare. I shall 
be glad, in the first place to hear from 
any one who wants either of the above, 
and will thank them to state what they 
can send. — Edw'ard Morton, Ripon ; 
October 24. 
Extraordinary Capture . — On the 28th 
of September my brother took, at a street 
gas-lamp iu Plymouth, a Geometra, 
which I could not make out, and Mr. 
Reading informing me that he considered 
it a new species : 1 forwarded a drawing of 
it to Mr. Doubleday, from whom I learn 
that it is Aspilates Sacraria . — Charles 
Rogers, 11, St. Andrews Street, Ply- 
mouth; October 17. 
[. Aspilates Sacraria (a pale yellow in- 
sect, with a purple stripe obliquely from 
the tip of the fore wings to the middle of 
the inner margin) was originally taken 
in Barbary. Tliunberg, in 1784, records 
the species in his ‘ Insecta Sueeica,’ but 
its occurrence so far north has hitherto 
been doubted.] 
Rather too bad . — I have received nearly 
a hundred applications for Muscerda, and 
must inform some applicants that I can- 
not think of paying the postage of the 
boxes, and have been obliged to refuse 
taking some in, which had been sent un- 
paid! I much thank the numerous cor- 
respondents for their kind offers, and will 
reply to most of them as soon as time 
will permit. As I am now in want of 
them, I would thank correspondents to 
return my empty boxes. — William 
Winter, Ranwurth, Blojidd, Norfolk; 
October 14. 
Hymenoptera. 
Duplicate British Bees . — I have a few 
local species of British bees in duplicate, 
which I should be glad to exchange for 
others of a local nature ; but as my stock 
of specimens is limited, 1 think it would 
be better to write previous to sending any
