PATTERN POST. 



I have received so many letters on this subject that it would be impossible to 

 insert them all. I may perhaps say that I think the writers lay too much stress on 

 their own particular grievance, the entomological grievance : the enormous boon 

 granted in the halfpenny postage must not be forgotten ; neither should we forget 

 that in sending insects to one another as patterns, knowing they ivere not so, and 

 knowing also that the authorities never intended to carry objects of science at the 

 pattern price, we were transgressoi's of the law, although the transgression was 

 for a time overlooked. I have thoroughly considered the subject, and I think 

 the proper course would be to unite with florists and nurserymen in agitating for 

 a reduced rate of postage on small parcels unaccompanied hy letters : such a 

 request might receive a favourable reply, whereas a request to convey an article 

 under an avowedly false designation can scarcely be favourably entertained. 

 Will all my correspondents kindly accept this as my view of the case, without 

 expecting me to notice their communications individually. — E. Newman. 



Pattern Post. — The restriction of this to bona fide samples or patterns is a great 

 hindrance to entomologists. I would advise every one inconvenienced to write to the 

 Postmaster-General on the subject. The Post Office is not established as a means of 

 revenue, but simply for the accommodation of the public, and its arrangements ought to 

 subserve to that end, and very possibly would be so made, upon due and general repre- 

 sentation to the authorities. — H. W. Livett, M.D. ; Wells, Somersetshire.
