none wild in Guiana, though there were in Brazil. Now the fact is that 

 they are in vast numbers here. But I need not enumerate all the mistakes 

 T constantly meet. I have already written too long a letter to a total 

 stranger, whose forgiveness I crave on the score of our common love for 

 the charming study of Natural History. 



I am a sugar planter, and live entirely in the country, and have 

 constant opportunity for making observations. Should you at any time 

 feel inclined to write to me, the name subscribed and the place whence I 

 date this will readily find me, and I shall be most happy to afford you 

 all information in my power. 



I have lately procured an excellent work on Ferns, native and exotic, 

 and have been classifying some of our very fine ones here. There are 

 not many of them on the coasts, but during each dry season I take a 

 run for a fortnight into the interior, and there they are in great variety. 

 I then also shoot and stuff some birds for my amusement. I can very 

 easily send to you any skin of bird or beast within my reach, and shall 

 have much pleasure in sending any birds' eggs also, if you prize such and 

 name those you would like best. 



Your's obediently, 



ALPIN GEANT.

10. D. orion? — I mention this species only (not having met with it myself) 

 for the purpose of noticing a statement made by Mr. King, (Subst. 220.) He 

 there affirms, that in the year 1853, he took about one hundred and twenty 

 specimens of this then very uncommon insect. I do not wish to appear un- 

 necessarily suspicious, but I must say I entertain very grave doubts as to the 

 accuracy of this story. If true, the insect must, of course, be set down as 

 common in Suffolk. I shall be glad to hear what Mr. Bree has to say on 

 the subject. 



N.B. — I think there is no doubt but that this is a Suffolk insect. Mr.
