THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
175 
purchaser, I come to ihe entomological 
market, and I enquire after an article of 
this sort: — 
1. A general calendar of all the 
British Lepidoptera, after the model of 
the ‘ Entomologist’s Companion,’ written 
six years ago hy a Mr. Stainton, who 
used to be a great favourite of the be- 
ginners ; now he “ chaffs ” them, — more 
shame to him ! 
2. This to include, as an introductory 
chapter — 
a. A short outline of how, where, what 
time of day or of night to “ catch 
’em.” 
b. How to kill, pin and set “your 
hare.” 
c. How to arrange and name, <kc., 
&c., in this line. 
d. A short account of pupa-digging 
and of egg-hatching, &c., &c. 
The arrangement of the ‘ Entomolo- 
gist’s Companion ’ is in itself so excel- 
lent that here no improvement can be 
suggested, except perhaps to use a 
VI. b., VI. m., VI. e., to show when the 
insects are in their prime. Of course 
such as fly throughout the month would 
find place immediately after the Roman 
numeral that has the m to follow it. 
By leaving out any lighter matter, 
such as excursions or literary efforts, I 
imagine the book need not exceed 200 
pages, a size just fit for the pocket. 
Will our kind Editor entertain the 
humble petition of 
A Briton?
