Larva; xvanted. — Can any of the readers 
of the ‘Intelligencer’ oblige me with a 
few of the hybernating larva; of Lasio- 
catnpa Quercus P I do not want the 
perfect insect, but I want particularly to 
rear this species. If any one that can 
spare a few will write and say so, I will 
send a box and pay return postage. I 
shall be happy to make any return in 
my power, but I have few duplicates. — 
W. C. Turner, 33, Bermondsey Square. 
Larva: of Vanessa Polychloros. — The 
history of my brood of V. Polychloros, 
referred to by Mr. Crewe, is soon told. 
Early in September a female V. Poly- 
chloros, in a very sluggish 6tate, was 
caught about six miles from here, by a 
friend of mine, in his hat, and boxed. 
In two days she laid upwards of 100 eggs, 
disposing them in a regular manner in- 
side the box. In rather more than a 
week they hatched, but, being unpre- 
pared for their advent as larvte, I lost 
more than half of them. The remnant 
of the brood has fed up (on elm) to nearly 
half an inch long, and have now become 
apparently dormant for the winter. The 
proceedings of the above female do not 
appear to have been wholly singular. In 
consequence of having taken a male Poly- 
chloros in my summer-house, where he 
had taken up his quarters for the night, 
I examined a large elm in a neighbour’s 
garden, and found six larvae of the same 
size as those I already had, feeding on 
the suckers thrown up some distance from 
the trunk. There is thus not the slightest 
doubt about the fact of at least two fe- 
male V. Polychloros, inhabiting different 
localities, having paired in the autumn, 
and laid their eggs. With reference to 
the larvae I beat from willow and sallow 
being Lithosia Griseola, it is quite pos- 
sible they may be so ; I only stated 
that they appeared to me to correspond 
exactly with V. Polychloros. That ques- 
tion, however, will be decided next year, 
if they survive the winter. — J. Merrin, 
Gloucester ; October 30. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have several 
duplicates of A. Galathea, P. Sylvanus 
and A. Lonicera; (bred), and shall be 
happy to exchange sets of the two former 
and pairs of the latter for single specimens 
of any of the following: — A. Cratwyi, 
L. Sinapis, any of the Hair-Streaks, 
P. /Eyon, P. Adonis, P. Artaxerxes, 
L. Sibylla , S. Paniscus. — Inin. 
Liparis Dispar. — I have received so 
many applications for L. Dispar, Sec., in 
consequence of the notice of my dupli- 
cates in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ that 1 cannot 
possibly answer all ; those who do not
