THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
digging at a distance of eight miles from 
home ; my lowest score was 2, for which 
I worked three hours. The following 
species have already come out: — 
P. Populi (1 <j>), 
N. Xauthographa (2), 
S. Satellitia (I), 
A. Aprilina (30), 
P. Meticulosa (5), 
H. Protea (2), 
H. Defoliaria (3 $ and 4 {), 
P. Pilosaria (2 5 ), 
P. Psittacaria (8 at oak), 
C. Brumaria (12 $ and 13 $ ), 
C. Dilularia (12). 
As to the pupae that remain, I know 
I have 
S. Populi (7), 
S. Tiliae (40). I have found some of 
these under bark at elm trees, at a 
distance of from one to six feet 
from the ground. 
C. Vinula (2). From stone walls near 
poplars. 
C. Bifida (1), 
P. Trepida (6). 
Some smaller cocoons of a similar make 
will give, I hope, D. Dodoncca or 
C/iaonia. 
A. Ligustri (6), 
And I have good hopes of N. Drome- 
darius , C. Ridens, T. Munda, B. Pro- 
dromaria , II. Ruptaria, and a few hun- 
dred T. Slabilis , Instabilis , Gothica, 
Cruda , A. Putris, C. Plccla, &c. I have 
also more than a hundred hybernating 
larv®, including C. Ligniperda, A. V il- 
licit, O. Sambucaria , &c. Besides this 
haul of Lepidoptera I have handed 
over to a friend some 150 Ichneumons, 
Diptera and Saw-llics, and have had the 
pleasure of adding eight or ten species to 
his collection of Coleoptera, although he 
is a collector of some years’ standing. 
Last season T numbered only 300 pupae, 
including Ichneumons; and for the far 
greater success which has this season 
rewarded my exertions, I have great 
pleasure in saying, I am chiefly indebted 
to the instructions given in the Rev. 
Joseph Greene’s paper. — Talpa, Exeter ;

Hibernia Rubricapraria. • — Your cor- 
respondent, Mr. Bree, in a communica- 
tion to the ‘ Intelligencer’ (ii. p. 36), says 
that the female of H. Rubricapraria copu- 
lates about 4 a.m. This is surely a mis- 
take, for yesterday night I took a pair in 
cop. on a hedge about 9 p.m.; and my 
friend Mr. Morison, who was with me, 
on returning home found a fine female 
in his breeding-cage, and having placed 
it in a box with a male of this insect, he 
discovered it in cop. soon after, viz. about 
10 p.m. I have also noticed that H. Bru- 
maria copulates about 8 p.m. — F. B.

Hammersmith Marshes. — Could any of 
your readers inform me where I shall 
find Hammersmith Marshes? as a friend 
and I have been in search of them twice 
without success. — J. H. Bryant, 5, Peer- 
less Row, City Road ; Jan. 26 
Birds’ Eggs offered in exchange for

to spare. — Sidney Cooper, Stone Bridge,
