Several correspondents think that Anthro- 
cera Minos should be the Atlantic type, 
but this is precluded by its occurrence in 
Kincardineshire. Others think the blanks 
mean that the species does not occur 
there; but this is a mistake: they only 
mean that I have no authority for giving 
those species as occurring in the district 
represented by the *. 
I shall still be glad to see additions to 
the paper in the ‘ Intelligencer,’ more par- 
ticularly from provinces 6,7, 17 and 18.

To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — As one of the unfortunates 
cooped up in the Meeting-room of the 
Entomological Society of London last 
Meeting, I can fully and painfully ap- 
preciate the remarks in your last number, 
and feel convinced that if better accom- 
modation were provided, the extra rent, 
if any, would be almost immediately 
found, in the shape of a great increase of 
Members and Subscribers. 
As an instance, only a fortnight since, 
on my pressing a friend (a Coleopterist of 
considerable note) to join the Society, he 
excused himself by saying he had been 
there but once, and then felt extremely 
unwell after it, and I have little doubt 
that he is hut one of a numerous 
class. 
Surely a degree of personal comfort is 
compatible with the most engaging 
scientific discussions. I trust that, if the 
Council have not yet considered the ad- 
visability of a change, they will at once 
proceed to do so, and relieve us, before 
the summer again comes round to stifle 
us in the miserable rooms now in occu- 
pation. 
Receive my best thanks for bringing 
the subject before the entomological 
public. 
Yours, &c., 
M. E. S. L.

A LOST ENTOMOLOGIST. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — Observing in the 1 Intelligencer) 
of this day that a correspondent, Mr. C. 
Campbell, writes to say that he has re- 
ceived no tidings of a box sent to a 
Mr. Lewis, of Southampton, I beg to 
inform you that I am similarly circum- 
stanced, having sent, for eggs of Zeuzera 
JEsculi , a box containing a pair of Hip- 
parcliia Semele, in good condition, and 
of which box I have heard nothing, nor 
have I been able to get any reply to
