342 THE YOUNG 



let another Club be formed for younger 

 members, or let them have a juvenile 

 branch after so many years. 



Mr. Davis proposes an entrance fee 

 of sixpence, but no further subscription. 

 In our article on the subject (p. 305) 

 we suggested that course, but we are 

 now inclined to think that a small sub- 

 scription, say of Id. or 2d. per month, 

 would perhaps keep the members better 

 together, and these funds could be used 

 for any purpose of the club that the 

 members could not individually afford, 

 books, cabinets, or even as we said 

 before, for some special excursion. 



"With reference to these and other 

 points, we do not know there is any 

 special advantage to be gained in having 

 the rules for the Clubs exactly the same 

 in every place. Let the objects be the 

 same, the objects to be attained the same, 

 and the age, subscription, &c, may be 

 left to the discretion of the members. 

 Might we suggest an additional rule, 

 that an account of the proceedings of 

 the Club shall be sent to the "Young 

 Naturalist" at least every three months. 



'We will be pleased to hear from other 

 readers their views and opinions, and so 

 far as we can aid the proposed Clubs 

 we shall be only too glad to do so. 

 The new volume of the " Young Natu- 

 ralist commences on November 5th, and 

 we will arrange to appropriate a portion 

 of our paper for the particulars of any 

 Clubs formed by them. We would 

 advise that in sending us names, &c, 

 the secretary be mentioned and his 

 postal address given, so that others may 

 communicate with him when desired.

NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 



Ennomos Autumnaria— Alniaria. — I 

 quite endorse Mr. Gregson's caution, pub- 

 lished in No. 98 of the Young Naturalist, as 

 to the necessity of care being used before 

 introducing so rare an insect as E. autumnaria 

 into our English cabinets ; as it is a well- 

 known fact that many of the species 

 have been bred this season from Foreign 

 eggs. 



But for the genuineness of the origin of 

 the 36 ova I received from Mr. Harbour, of 

 Deal (and from which I have this season 

 bred 32 imagines), I can vouch for them in 

 fullest confidence as being the offspring of a 

 female Moth, taken at light at Deal, in the 

 Autumn of 1879. Mr. Gregson's proverbial 

 courtesy and modesty will hardly permit him 

 to doubt my jealous desire, equally with his 

 own, for striving to uphold the purity of our 

 English collections. — W. H. Tugwelj. 3,
