With those whose mansions glitter in his sight, 

 Calls the delightful survey all his own. 

 His are the mountains, and the valleys his,

 let us make our Entomological fortune if we can, and 

 to this end let us search those beech trees, and, perhaps, 

 we may find Tortrix cinnamomeana. In " Headley 

 Lane" Lithosia complana occurs; while among the 

 birches we may find Ephyra orbicularia. In the
