Increased Accommodation for the 
Entomological Society of London. — 
At the Meeting of the Entomological 
Society on Monday last, the President 
announced that the next Couucil Meeting 
would take under its serious considera- 
tion the subject, now become imperative, 
of obtaining an increase of accommoda- 
tion. He remarked that there were pro- 
bably some Societies which would be 
glad to allow us a room or two and the 
use of their meeting-rooms on the nights 
of our Meetings for a sum less than that 
(,£40) which we were now paying for 
our rooms in Bedford Row. He also 
suggested that those Members who might 
hear of anything likely to be suitable 
should at once communicate with the 
Secretary, in order that as much in- 
formation as possible might be collected 
together, so as to be available at the 
next Meeting of Council. These re- 
marks were greeted with the usual ex- 
pressions of satisfaction, and an impres- 
sion is gaining ground that the Society 
is now in earnest. 
NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 
TINEIN A. 
Depressabia Pimpinell*. 
The egg is most likely laid in spring 
by the hybernated female. The larva 
feeds in the umbels of Pimpinella Saxi- 
fraga. It is not gregarious, but lives 
solitarily in a slight white web, which is 
generally placed in a perpendicular posi- 
tion amongst the flower-stalks of the 
umbel. The larva feeds during the 
months of August and September; to- 
wards the end of the latter month it 
becomes full fed, and descending to the 
ground, constructs a whitish cocoon, in 
which it assumes the pupa state. In 
about three weeks the perfect insect 
makes its appearance.

THE NEGLECTED ORDERS. 
To the Editor of the 1 Intelligencer ' 
Sir, — I have read the leading article 
in the ‘Intelligencer’ of the 4th inst. 
with great pleasure, and beg to offer a 
few remarks on the “neglected orders.” 
You attribute their neglect to fashion ; 
but I do not think it is always that. 
There are no English works on some of 
the orders, and what there are on others 
are out of the reach of nine-tenths of 
entomologists. People do not like to 
collect insects they cannot study for 
want of books. I think this is the real 
solution of the secret. How many 
Neuropterists Dr. Hagen’s papers have 
already produced! Why cannot we 
have a ‘ Manual of British Entomology,’ 
like Gosse’s excellent 4 Manual of Ma- 
rine Zoology?’ Gosse’s work contains
