REGENT STREET, GLOUCESTER. 



AT a Meeting of the ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION of the Yorkshire 

 Naturalists' Union, held at Leeds' on January 11th, it was decided to 

 pubrsh a LIST, with localities, &:c., of the Lejddoptera of the county of 

 York. Its c{mipil.ation was placed in the hands of Mr. W. Prest, of 

 York, and myself. May I ask, th* refore, that every lepidopterist who has 

 collected in any part of Yorkshire will kindly send list with localities of all 

 the species noticed, with any notes that may be of use, to me, as early as 

 convenient. I need scarcely say that all such assistance shall be fully 

 acknowledged. *
