THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Sometimes these attempts to inter- 
change Continental and British insects 
are unfortunate failures, as, for instance, 
the offer of Swiss Noctuoe by Herr 
Widmer, which, though it produced 
several applications from correspon- 
dents here, has led to no further re- 
sults; an illness on the part of Herr 
Widmer, and the subsequent loss of 
specimens, having caused the appli- 
cants to make no profit by their 
motion. 
In our present number will be found 
a communication from Dr. Herrich- 
Schaeffer, bearing upon the same sub- 
ject.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
R. B. — “ The holly blue,” if you mean 
P. Argiolus, feeds on holly and ivy blos- 
soms. 
W. S. — Surely you have not seen 
Shield’s ‘ Practical Hints.’ Hints ought 
to suffice, as each one should work out 
experience for himself. 
D. R. T. — Your beetle is very com- 
mon ; it is Bembidium guttula. 
H-S., Regensburg. — F. W. has 
cited, and continues to cite, all the 
figures in your Lep. Exot., which he has 
seen ; he is only acquainted with the 
first twelve numbers (1853 and 1854), 
and has seen no text. 
T. L. — Monacha eggs should hatch in 
spring: Ratzeburg says, “ End of April 
or beginning of May ; sometimes, though 
rarely, in autumn.” 
Cabinets. — Size of drawers about 
14 inches square (more or less, as you 
like) and 2 inches deep ; prepared cork 
can be had of any entomological ap- 
paratus maker. Pins of Edelsten and 
Williams, Crown Court, Cheapside (sec 
‘Annual,’ 1856, p. 174).
