THE CANADIAN ENTOxMOLOGIST 99 



ArcAdiA is well equipped with every facility for studying 

 nature, and especially so in entomology. Within the adjacent 

 territory, especially in Nymphalia, which is a part of ArcAdiA, 

 there are facilities for studying various kinds of aquatic and marsh 

 insects. The laboratory is well equipped with apparatus for 

 classifying, examining, photographing, etc. There are breeding 

 cages for studying the insects in their transformations, and what- 

 ever further equipment may be necessary will be made to suit 

 the needs of a student. We want an adult entomologist, prefer- 

 ably a married man, to come to ArcAdiA, lease a building site, 

 erect a small cottage, and live near to nature in the spirit of the 

 Institution. He shall have the freedom of the Institution without 

 expense, but for his services no salary will be paid. We are looking 

 for some one who has retired from the active duties of life, and 

 expects to spend the rest of his days in close proximity to the ento- 

 mological world. 



The experiment has been successfully made in the Depart- 

 ment of Botany. Some three years ago a lady in Wisconsin desir- 

 ing to devote the rest of her life to the study of plants, became 

 a member of The Agassiz Association, at the cost of only three 

 dollars for the first year and only a dollar and a half each year 

 thereafter. She leased a building site and erected, at her own 

 expense, a portable cottage, in which and in the surroundings she 

 leads the ideal ArcAdiAn life in nearness to nature. She devotes 

 all her spare time to the Botanical Department, collecting plants, 

 studying them in their habitat, planting them in her little yard, 

 and studying them under the microscope. A pleasurable part 

 of her occupation is to show the results to the admiring visitors 

 at ArcAdiA. The Agassiz Association remunerates her for her 

 services in giving her all the facilities of the equipment, such as 

 may be needed in her botanical pursuits. In return for her ser- 

 vices she receives the best pay in the world — the joy of doing and 

 the joy of helping. 



Her attractive little cottage is known as Botany Bungalow. 

 We want some entomologist to make his home in the "Entomolo- 

 gist's Eyrie" or "The Ant Hill," or some similarly named cottage 

 in ArcAdiA. Full particulars as to what the AA is and what is 

 its ArcAdiA, what it has done and what it is trying to do, and
