18 THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S RECORD. 
been named, it finds a place in the “Compendium,” which becomes 
thus a sort of “ Bradshaw” for the species. Further it is a record 
which (as far as we know) has no parallel in Entomology, or other 
branch of Natural History, unless it be Domestic Animals—a record 
of the possible modifications in appearance, which may be produced 
by the patient continuous working out of a system of scientific experi- 
ment. There is probably no other insect of which a catalogue of 55 
different forms could be compiled. Alike to the Collector of Varieties 
of Lepidoptera, and to the student this list should be indispensable.—

While searching iihoudh “volumes of forgotten lore’ we recently 
came across the following poetical (sic) gem apropo of the malarial 
guest. Dr. Koch, the German Professor, had gone to Java and the 
fact was thus reported in the Singapore Free Press. 
Koch has settled down in Java for to find a febrifuge ; 
I fancy these Dutch Doctors find the joke exceeding huge, 
Trotting round the swamps malarious ; laying in a buzzing stock 
Of the Javanese mosquito for the febrile Doctor Koch. 
I have oft gone butterflying for the beetle in his lair : 
Even hunted ‘‘irritations ’’ in my puppy’s curly hair: 
But these pleasurable pastimes all must go into the shade, 
When compared to catching skeeters to find how fever’s made. 
In my mind’s eye I can picture each Dutch doctor setting out, 
For the hotbeds of the fever where the skeeters fly about ; 
Having tended to the dying and interred their dead,—en bloc 
They troop out to catch mosquitoes for the festive Doctor Koch. 
Well! I fancy, if our Governmental medicos were told 
To undertake such duties, that they’d quickly quit the fold: 
That e’en though it were for Science, they’d be likely thus to mock— 
‘©Go and catch your own mosquitoes and be blowed to you, old Cock.”’
