NOTICE. 



All lettere, desiring information respectinR noxioua or other ingccts. should

 mena sliould always be packed alonp witli a little cotton, wool, or some such 

 substance, m any little paste-board box that is of convenient size, and tievcr- 

 o7iclosed looae in the letter. Botanists like their specimens pressed as flat as a 

 pancake, but entomologists do not. Wlicncver possible, larvK (i. c. (-rubs, 

 caterpillars, magcots, etc.) should be packed alive, iu some tight tin 

 ""S":"'! ''15'"'^'',"'= better— along with a supply of their appropriate food 

 sufficient to last tlicm on tlieir journey ; otherwise they generally die on the 

 roud and shrivel up to nothing. Along with the specimens send as full an 

 account as possible of the habits of the insect, respecting which von desire

 the leaves, the buds, the twigs, or tlie stem ; how long it has been known to
