THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Is it too late for some to burn 
their collections, and begin de novo P 
Such a misfortune would be the greatest 
blessing that could happen. 
Mr. Birchall asks, “ Why should the 
colours of Lepidoptera be usually darker 
in Scotland and Ireland than in Eng- 
land?” The first answer that suggests 
itself is, “ Owing to the greater moisture 
in Scotland and Ireland.” But if any 
one asks, “Why moisture should pro- 
duee intensity of colour?” we confess 
we are unable to assign a reason. 
If moisture has anything to do 
with it, then we ought to find the 
same difference between Devonian and 
Kentish specimens. But do we find 
it?
