NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 47 
on the lines of an “ Exchange and Mart.” Very little of the 
good old give-and-take system left, but too much barter, and the 
sending of old, mity, badly worn and badly set insects, as if 
some people thought that anything will do to exchange. I 
suppose, however, we must take the world as it comes; but I 
am proud to find there are many good men and true to make 
up for the mean and greedy, and those of my old, old friends 
whom I can find are still alive are the truest of all! I fear I 
stray from my original intentions in writing; it is that we sadly 
want a supplementary Manual to follow up where Stainton left 
off, with descriptions of the new species since that time. Surely 
there are men willing and able to supply this want. I suppose 
there are descriptions of these new species somewhere in the 
magazines, and in ‘ Proceedings,’ but how is one like myself to 
get at them ? and worse still is it for beginners.— W. ‘Farren ;

CoutLecTION oF Economic Enromotocy.— Miss E. A. 
Ormerod writes as follows in the Report of the Consulting 
Entomologist of the Royal Agricultural Society for 1885 :— 
“By desire of the Lords of the Council of Education, I 
have undertaken to superintend (as far as my other duties 
allow) the re-arrangement of a portion of the valuable collection 
illustrative of injurious insects and their ravages, known as the 
‘Collection of Economic Entomology’ of South Kensington, 
with the view of making it of practical service to farmers and 
all interested in the matter. By placing the pests of the 
various crops, cattle, &c., respectively together in cases distin- 
guished by the English name of the crop or animal attacked, 
I believe the large collection will become of great public 
service, and I may add that a portion of the rest of the work 
is in the skilled hands of Professor Westwood.” 
LEpIpoprera OF SurroLK.—F or some years past I have been 
collecting information towards a list of the Lepidoptera of 
Suffolk, and hope to print it shortly. I should be greatly 
obliged if any of your readers could supply me with lists of 
recent captures made by them in that county.—E. N. Broom-
