NOTICE, 



All letters, dcsiriiif; information respecting noxiuus or other insects, should 

 l)c accompanieJ by specimens, the more in number the better. Such speui- 

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

 substance, in any little paste-board box tJiat is of convenient size, and never 

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

 pancake, but entomologists do not. ■^Vhenevcr possible, larvas {i. e. grubs, 

 eatcriJillars, 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 thcni on their journey ; otherwise they generally die on the 

 road and shrivel up to notliing. Along with the specimens send as full an 

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

 infonnation; for example, what plant or plants it infests; whether it destroys 

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

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

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