NOTICE 



TO THE ENTOMOLOGICAL READERS OF 



"THE NATURALIST." 



It will be observed that I am no longer connected with the 

 Editorial part of this Journal. It would serve no good purpose 

 for me to enter into the reasons which have induced me to 

 withdraw my name; but I cannot permit a connection from 

 which I have derived so much pleasure, to close without ex- 

 pressing my sincere thanks to those Entomologists, who, 

 during the past year have favoured me with so many contri- 

 butions; and I sincerely hope that their zeal in the cause of 

 Science will not relax, and that the pleasure which they 

 derive from its pursuit will make them more and more sensible 

 of its beauties, and more desirous to investigate its truths. 



Edinburgh, Dec. 10th., 1858. C. E. BREE. 



TO SUBSCRIBERS. 



It having been determined to discontinue "The Naturalist" 

 the Editor has no alternative but unexpectedly to take leave 

 of his numerous correspondents, (no fewer than ninety-two 

 in the past year,) wishing them every good wish, and thanking 

 them for their many valuable and interesting communications.
