series attain anything like completeness, it may be worth the author's 

 trouble if he will reprint these descriptions in methodical order and 

 a separate form. 



* The Entomologist's Weekly Intelligencer,' vol. viii. This volume, 

 like its predecessors, contains many valuable notices of captures and 

 observations on the economy of insects. But there is also other 

 matter which I confess I should like to have seen, or rather known 

 to have been, shut out by better material. No doubt in a periodical 

 which, like this, must appear at short-stated intervals, many indifferent 

 things are inserted, because the space must be filled ; yet it does 

 appear strange to me, that with such a publication specially at their 

 service, English entomologists do not crowd its pages with their ob- 

 servations. Possibly some little alteration in the plan of the paper 

 would be requisite to accomplish this, and I submit this hint for the 

 consideration of the editor ; but it is too bad of us not to support 

 better than we do such a disinterested effort on behaK of Entomology 

 as this paper manifestly is.
