TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Larva of Fimbria. — The larva used 
to be found among the leaves of prim- 
roses, by searching both among the inner 
clustered leaves and beneath the outer 
decaying leaves: it is coiled up, tucked 
in and sluggish by day, but expands and 
tucks-in by night. 
R. K . — Dispar is believed to be a local 
variety of Hippotho'e. Thecla Pruni pro-

especially as entomologists are no longer 
admitted there (see Intel, i. p. 148). 
J. B. S. — The pupa of Vanessa Ala- 
lanta ; it is indeed splendid when alive. 
W. F. — Pup® in hornbeam L. tenella ; 
larvae in bramble Tischeria marginea. 
Lists of Tineina 2s. per dozen, or printed 
on one side only, 6d. each. 
L. S. inquires “ Cannot Dytiscus and 
other rapacious beetles be kept without 
danger together with other insects in an 
aquarium, provided they are well supplied 
with suitable and sufficient food ?” To 
this we should reply with another query, 
“ If we shut a school-boy up in a room 
in which there is a plum-cake, and sup- 
ply him with bread and butter, will the 
plum-cake remain untouched?”

method we have found most convenient 
may be useful to others. A small maple 
planted in a pot, and slightly forced
