NOTICE. 



All letters, desiring ii)forination respecting noxious or other insects, should 

 be accompanied by spceiniena, the more in number the better. Such epcci- 

 mena 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, and never 

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

 pancake, but entomologists do not. Whenever possible, larva; (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 

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

 road and shrivel up to nothing. Along M-ith the specimens send as full an 

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

 information; for example, wliat plant or plants it infests; whether it destroys 

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

 you; what amount rif damage it has done, etc. Such particulars arc often 

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