gencer,’ p. 75, concerning the eggs of 
L. Monacha and Dispar and Cratccgi, 
I have had a number of letters asking 
me what kind of larvae I was in want of, 
and if I would exchange larvae for imago. 
I am sorry that I have only been able to 
answer a very few of them, owing to a 
severe accident, having fractured three 
of my ribs; I therefore trust that those 
who have not heard from me will not 
think me wanting in courtesy. I hope 
to have some to dispose of, and shall be 
glad to hear from those persons wishing 
to make exchanges either of larvae or 
imago: if they will state what kinds of 
either they can let me have, I will answer 
them by letter. Amougst many that I 
should like to breed I may mention 
M. Cinxia and Alkalia, V. Polychloros , 
A Villica, P. Palpina, C. Curlula, E. Lu- 
naria, lllustraria , Tiliaria, ike. — Wil-

New Locality for Eupilhecia Toyata. 
— About the middle of July, 185(5, I 
caught a specimen of E. Toyata at Mar- 
den, near Devizes, Wilts. — B. Rogers,

Duplicate Pupae. — I have got dupli- 
cate pupa of S. Carpini and S. Populi, 
and I shall be glad to exchange for 
either S. Tilice, S. Ocellatus or S. Li- 
gustri. — G. Lumb, Kirlcyate, Wakefield ;

Larva of Harpalyce Sagittaria. — Seeing 
by the ‘ Intelligencer’ that the larva of 
H. Sagittaria appears to be unknown, I 
beg to send you the following description 
with particulars: — Larva pile drab, with 
several fine and distinct lines of a dark 
drab colour running parallel down the 
sides; a chain of rhombus-shaped mark- 
ings of the same colour down the centre 
of the back, one on each segment, with a 
central spot in each also dark drab. In 
July, 1855, I captured a female, which 
laid nearly thirty eggs ; they hatched in 
about ten days. I fed the larvae upon 
arrow head ( Sagittaria ) ; they seemed to 
prefer the flowers, but they ate sparingly 
and grew very slowly, as by the end of 
September they appeared only three parts 
grown ; their number had also diminished 
to about eight or nine. I then gave them 
to Mr. Bond, who kept them alive till 
October, but they afterwards died. From 
my failure to rear them I conclude either 
that the larva hybernates, or that Sagit- 
taria is not their proper food. — Thomas 
Brown, 13, King's Parade, Cambridge ;

Rivaria and Alchemillaria. — My dates 
for Rivaria are June 29 and July 11, 
but the first were the best: they were 
taken in Warwickshire and in Cornwall. 
I have not met with it in Worcester- 
shire, where Alchemillaria is common. 
In Warwickshire I beat it out of high 
bushes on the side of a wood, and in 
Cornwall from a very high hedge within 
a hundred yards of woodland. Alche- 
millaria, according to my experience, 
haunts banks and the lower parts of 
hedges, and I have found Amnicularia 
in company with it, but not Rivaria.

Stock exhausted. — 1 desire to thank 
those numerous correspondents who have 
favoured me with lists of their duplicates, 
but whose letters I have been unable to 
answer. During the summer and the 
autumn I hope to have some few more 
duplicates of most of the insects I named 
in No. 72 of the ‘Intelligencer,’ when I 
shall be glad to hear again from any of 
my correspondents, and then, I hope, 
with better success to both parties. —

Captures of C'oleaptera. — I have been 
several times during the last week or so 
into the sand-hills, where 1 have taken 
the following under moss and among the 
dead roots of the bent: — Calalhus mollis P 
very abundant. A few specimens of
