AN ENTOMOLOGIST WANTED FOR ARCADIA. 



"The Aofassiz Association's Arc Adi A is for study and research, and for 

 giving information upon any phase of nature to any person who desires 

 to know." 



ArcAdiA is well equipped with every facihty 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 ai^paratus for classifying, examining, photographing, etc. There are 

 breeding cages for studying the insects in their transfoi-mations, and what- 

 ever further equipment may be necessary will be made to suit the needs of 

 a student. We want an adult entomologist, preferably 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 oflife, and 

 expects to spend the rest of his days in close proximity to the entomological 

 world. 



The experiment has been successfully made in the Department of 

 Botany. Some three years ago a lady in Wisconsin desiring to devote the 

 rest of her life to the study of plants, became a member of The Agassiz Asso- 

 ciation, 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 facihties of the equipment, such as may 

 be needed in her botanical pursuits. In return for her services 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 "Entomologist's Eyrie" or "The 

 Ant-Hill" or some similarly named cottage in ArcAdiA. Pull particulars as 

 to what the A A is and what is its ArcAdiA, what it has done and what it is 

 trying to do, and including a copy of "The Guide to Nature", will be sent 

 upon application. 



On the other hand, full particulars will be required of the personahty, 

 skill, experience, plans, etc., of the applicant who would couie here and take 

 charge of our Entomological Department. We would prefer some one who 

 has retired from active business hfe and has means to devote the rest of his 

 days to his favorite pursuits, but such entire devotion of time is not 

 necessary. Arrangements could be made for some income for services, if 

 desired Emi:)l()yment of various kinds can be obtained in the vicinity, but, 

 as previouly stated, the ideal would be one who has retired and intends to 

 devote all the rest of his time to the interests and beauties of entomological 

 nature 



For further particulars ap[)ly to The Agassiz Association, Edward F. 

 Bigelow, President, ArcAdiA: South Beach, Connecticut.
