54 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



descent gaslight dates only towards the end of September, other- 

 wise this might be thought attributable, although, apart from this, 

 there is every reason to suppose that its adoption will tend to 

 diminish the visitants to the arc lamps, as will be seen by refe- 

 rence to the closing months of the year in the following list, in
