Duplicate Lepidoptera. — Having a few 
duplicate specimens of 
Hipparchia Semele, 
Argynnis Aglaia, 
Melitaea Euphrosyne, 
Arge Galathea, 
Arctia villica, 
Smeriutbus ocellatus, 
„ Populi, 
Catocala nupla, 
I shall be glad to exchange them for any 
of the following: — 
Papilio Machaon, 
Aporia Crataegi, 
Theda Betulee, 
„ Rubi, 
Vanessa Polychloros, 
Melitaea Athalia. 
— T. Thompson, Foregate Street, Wor- 
cester. 
Larvae of Athalia. — Can any of the 
readers of the ‘Intelligencer’ tell me 
how to find larvae of the Fritillaries? 
They all occur commonly about here, 
excepting of course M. Cinxia, A. La- 
thonia and Dia (I suppose the latter is 
now considered a British insect by most 
entomologists). I particularly want to 
breed M. Athalia. I shall be extremely 
obliged for any information on the sub- 
ject. — G. F. Mathews, Raleigh House, 
near Barnstaple ; Feb. 7. 
Duplicate Lepidoptera. — I have speci- 
mens of the following insects for ex- 
change: — 
P. Unguicula, $ , 
N. Cucullina (bred), 
P. Plumigera (bred), 
N. Leucograplni (2 $ , slightly da- 
maged), 
X. Aurago, 
X. Rhizolitha, 
Petrificata, 
C. Verbasei (bred), 
Lychnitis (5 bred). 
I do not name my wants, which are 
rather numerous, because I wish appli- 
cants to write first with a list of their 
duplicates, and stating in what condition 
their specimens are. As most of my 
duplicates are bred aud very fine, I must 
beg of gentlemen not to answer my 
notice unless they have really good and 
well-set specimens to send in return. — 
Rev. B. H. Birks, Stoner, Henley-on- 
Thames ; Feb. 6. 
Hammersmith Marshes . — In answer to 
Mr. Bryant’s inquiry, in the ‘ Intelligen- 
cer,’ respecting Hammersmith Marshes, 
I beg to say that the way is this: pro- 
ceed along the Kensington and Hammer- 
smith high-road to the first turning on 
the right past the Hammersmith turn- 
pike; this turning has the name “ Blythe 
Lane” written up in large characters. 
Turning up Blythe Lane you will in a 
few minutes arrive at a point where the 
road turns to the left : don’t follow it, but 
pass through an open gate you see before 
you, aud get across to the brick-fields 
that you see to the right of the path, to 
the side of the railway. After continuing 
your walk for a short time along the side 
of the railway, you will see the Marshes 
to your left: just before them there is a 
wide shallow ditch, and between them 
and the ditch a row of old willow stumps. 
I fear the Marshes will uot be of use 
long; the willows and most of the reeds 
have been cut down, and the place has 
been partly drained. — C. Gloyne, jun., 
5, Terrace, Kensington ; Feb. 5, 
Neuroptera. 
Dragonflies near Exeter . — I have not 
succeeded in capturing all the species 
mentioned by Mr. Parfitt, but in addition 
have taken L. acrulescens and L. viridis. 
— E. S. Norcombe, Heavitree, near Exe- 
ter ; Jan. 26. 
Proposal to exchange Living Speci- 
mens . — We wish to form a collection of 
the above, and it appears to us that the 
only way to do so is to form a sort of 
Society for that purpose to be called 
“The Neuropterous Correspondence:”
