9 Contributors ; 2 new. 



8 Contributors ; 3 new. 



10 Contributors; 1 new. 



7 Contributors ; 3 new. 



Thus in the years 1846 — 1850, the average number of con- 

 tributors per annum was 6A, and in the five years eight new- 

 writers made their debut. 



In the second period of five years 1851 — 1855, the average 

 number of contributors per annum was 8f , which includes 

 eleven new writers ; an increase in both respects of one-third. 

 Taking therefore this as a criterion, we may infer that Ento- 

 mology is progressing.
