NOTICE. 



All letters, deairiiig iuformation respecting nosious or other insects, should 

 be accompanied by specimens, the more in number the better. Such speci- 

 mens should always be packed along with a little cotton, wool, or some such 

 substance, in any little paste-board box that is of convenient size, aitd never 

 enclosed loose in the letter. Botanists like their specimens pressed as flat as a 

 pancake, but entomologists do not- Whenever possible, larv-oe (i. e. grubs, 

 caterpillars, maggots, etc.) should be packed alive, in some tight tin 

 box— the tighter the better— along with a supply of their appropriate food 

 eufflcient to last them on their journey ; otherwise they generally die on the 

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

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

 information ; for example, what plant or plants it infests ; whetlier it destroys 

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

 you ; what amount of damage it has done, etc. Such particulars are often 

 not only of high scientific Lnteicst, but of great practical importance.
