THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
In conclusion, I would suggest that 
scheme A seems peculiarly adapted for 
those who possess large series and are 
fond of varieties, while scheme B will 
probably best suit those who limit their 
series to four specimens. I believe that 
in catalogues of Coleoptera both genera, 
species and specimens (as in botanical 
catalogues) are all numbered according 
to scheme A. This I think would be a 
great improvement to our catalogues of 
Lepidoptera, and I should then propose 
that the same numerals should be used 
in our registers and cabinets, using 
different coloured inks for genera, species 
and specimens. 
A small punch (diameter J-inch, size 
No. 9, cost 8 d.) I procured at a neigh- 
bouring tool shop, preferring a round 
shape to a square one.
