XU JUXVXUITIUIjUU-XOXO. 



MR. FOXCROFT begs to return his sincere thanks to the Trustees of the 

 British Museum, the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergymen, and the Members of the 

 Entomological Societies for the patronage he has received for a number of years; 

 and takes the liberty of informing them and others, that he intends collecting 

 Insects during the whole summer of the present year, (1854,) in the best locality 

 known in Scotland, which is round the Black Forest, Bannock, Perthshire; 

 commencing on the Gth. of April, and collecting for six months. 



Mr. F., to enable him to carry out this plan, wishes to raise a sufficient sum 

 by Subscriptions of One Guinea; each Subscriber to be entitled to one specimen 

 of every species collected during the season, which will be equally shared in 

 November, on his return, by himself. Those Subscribers who are Coleoptera- 

 collectors, will have all the choice and rare Beetles divided amongst them in the 

 boxes; and those who are collectors of Lepidoptera, will have all the rare and 

 best specimens of JMoths and Butterflies divided amongst them. The specimens 

 will be sent to the residences of the Subscribers; and the boxes containing them 

 are to be returned or paid for. 



Mr. F. hopes, by stopping in one locality in Scotland, to take such choice 

 Insects, or some new specimens that may be rare, to afford an excellent opportunity 

 to gentlemen to obtain what may be wanting for their Cabinets; also for Pro- 

 prietors of Museums, and collectors of ]}ritish Insects. 



Persons wishing to become Subscribers, are requested to send their Subscrip- 

 tions by Post-office Order, or otherwise, by the end of March at the latest, to Mil. 

 James Foxcuoft, 3, Union Yard, 191, Oxford Street, London. Post-office Orders 

 to be made payable at 210, Oxford Street, 



No person will be allowed to subscribe after the 6th. of April; and no one 

 will be considered a Subscriber until he has paid his Guinea.

 Cabinets for Insects. Nets and Breeding-cages of all kinds, and Cabinets for 

 Shells or Fossils made to order.
