LIVING PUP. 
Two years ago the members of the Brooklyn Entomological 
Society began to offer for sale cocoons of the common Saturniidee 
at a cent apiece, the proceeds to add to the Society’s publication 
fund. The price was so low that biological classes have taken 
them in great numbers, the material being much better for study 
than any other obtainable form of animal life. On this account 
the Society is extremely well satisfied with the results, for, 
although the receipts would not equal ten cents an hour for actual 
expenditure of time, a useful purpose has been found. . 
Many buyers of our cocoons have appealed to us for living 
pupz of rarer insects. This demand is not easy to meet. The 
few dealers who handle it at all are confronted with the problem 
of coming short in some and having a great overplus in others. 
The Society now proposes to offer our most interesting pupze for 
advance orders. If our members know what is wanted, they can 
gather the larve before frost time and feed them until they pupate. 
A dozen of our members are fond of breeding whatever interest- 
ing species they find and by offering specimens our members can 
be repaid to time and trouble and the Burretrn publication 
fund be benefited. — ; 
We shall try to get any species desired. The list of species 
which we are reasonably certain to have is as follows:
