The Zoologist— July, 1866. 279 



To what orders the insects belong; or better, to carry away as 

 many specimens as possible for future quiet examination. 



To bring away some of the so-called peat, if such be again 

 observed in similar holes. 



And, as a general rule, to take nothing for granted, but to examine 

 thoroughly. 



The field of Alpine Entomology is as yet scarcely touched, and its 

 wide extension calls for dilligent workers. Will no one enlist in this 

 good cause }
