lam particularly anxious to obtain Varieties Hybrids, Hermaphrodites and 

 other aberrant and abnormal forms for which I am always ready to negotiate 

 liberally. 



I would like very much to secure correspondents in Bogota, Peru, Sur- 

 inam and Rio Janiero. Should this meet the eye of any one at any of the 

 above mentioned places, or any other part of S. America, I would esteem it 

 the greatest favour if they would do me the honour to communicate with me 

 for purposes of exchange, &c. 



In conclusion, I would repeat that I will always be delighted to hear from 

 Lepidopterists in any part of the world, and any one so favouring me will 

 receive the promptest attention. 



And should any Entomologist find himself in my neighborhood, I trust he 

 will not slight me bv neglecting to call on me and allowing me the pleasure 



o / O ~ o 



of showing him my collections. 



I am always ready to identify, for any one, Lepidoptera, native or foreign, 

 Moths or Butterflies. 



Always ready to exchange specimens from our own or other lands. 



Parties either in the United States, or other countries, having Lepidoptera 

 or Coleoptera, of any country, that they would like to sell, would do well by 

 placing them in my hands for that purpose. 



Any persons wishing to purchase specimens, native or foreign, by sending 

 lists of their desiderata, will be accommodated promptly and satisfactorily, 

 prices in accordance with the rarity of the species and qr.-uitity desired. I 

 will also furnish, when desired, Entomological Pins, Forceps, Setting Blocks, 

 &c., &c., also procure books, pamphlets, &c., either new or out of print, when- 

 ever obtainable. 



In writing, no matter how often vou may have occasion to do so, always 

 put under your signature your full address, No. of street or Post Office box ; 

 city or town; county, shire or province; State, Empire, Kingdom, Country; 

 for it saves much time and trouble to have merely to glance at the bottom of 

 the letter you have just answered, instead of having to hunt up some old 

 letter to find the address, or else if you keep a list to have to go through the 

 address of several hundred correspondents to find the one|T wanted. Always
