 head quarters. We were diverted from Lyndhurst by the advice of 

 Mr. Benjamin Cooke, who had a few years previously paid a most

 positions, each being surrounded with the finest possible country for the 

 entomologist, and swarming with lepidoptera. The accommodation at

 compensated for by its being less frequented, and consequently more
