ENTOMOLOGY. 



Communications have been received from the Rev. J. Greene; — Rev. H. H. 

 Crewe; — M. A. Matthews; — E. Baldwin; — G. H. King; — W. C. Unwin; — 

 T. Thorncroft ; — A. F. Sealy. 



The question of Double-broodedness in the Lepidoptera, will be opened next month, when 

 our Mends Mr. Greene and Mr. Crewe take opposite sides of the question. We invite the attention 

 of Entomologists to this subject; rendered still more interesting by M. Gucnee's remarks; which, 

 1 of setting the matter at rest, have only given it more clearly-defined limits. The 

 question to be settled is whether some of the Lepidoptera are double-brooded as a natural law 

 or not; — not whether climate and latitude affect the disclosure of the insect, which is a fact not 

 imong practical Entomologists. — Ed.
