"insect HUNTER'S COMPANION." 



This little book has long since been out of print. During 

 the past two years, so many communications were addressed to 

 me, requesting to know where it could be procured, that in the 

 spring of last year I wrote to Mr. Newman, asking him whether 

 he would undertake a second edition. It had been arranged to 

 do so, when a similar work by Dr. Knaggs was announced, and 

 we then thought it better to let the matter drop. Since then 

 I have nevertheless had so 'many inquiries addressed to me 

 respecting my own book, that I am led to suppose that many 

 (young) Entomologists still wish for it. I have never had any 

 pecuniary interest whatever in the book, nor do I propose having 

 any. I can only hope that there may be a sufficient demand to 

 save me from positive loss.— {Rev,) J. Greene; Apsley Roadj 

 Redland, Bristol. 



i^^ It is proposed to add a chapter on Coleoptera to the 

 original edition.
