INSECTA. 



In a note appended to his Report, in 1843, Mr. Thompson gives the 

 numbers of Irish insects then known, as communicated to him by his 

 friend A. H. Haliday, Esq. Had Mr. Thompson's life been spared until 

 the present volume was approaching completion, he would doubtless 

 have applied once more to the same distinguished entomologist for in- 

 formation brought up to the present time. We did not hesitate, there- 

 fore, to ask Mr. Haliday for such notes as would enable us to give the 

 number of species of the several orders so far as they have been at present 

 investigated. Our application was responded to with the utmost kindness 

 and promptitude. The annexed list has thus been supplied. — Ed.
