To the Editor of the ‘Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — Referring to ray former letters 
on the subject (Intel. Nos. 164 and 174), 
I have now to state that my fen proposi- 
tion has been taken up much better than 
I could have expected, and I beg to 
thank all those who have kitidlv come 
¥ 
forward to assist my plans. 
I have twenty-three subscribers, some 
of whom have paid their full subscrip- 
tion. 
The engagement on my part will 
commence from this date and terminate 
in October. 
From those gentlemen who have not 
yet paid their deposits I shall be glad to 
hear as soon as convenient. 
I am, Sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
W. Winter.

An East London Entomological 
Society. — As many entomologists reside 
in the East end of the metropolis I think 
a local Society might be advantageously 
formed at Bow, Mile End or somewhere 
near there. Will any one start it? I 
should be very happy to see one formed, 
and would become a member, if agree- 
able. Perhaps some gentleman will 
favour us with his opinion on the sub- 
ject. As a Museum is in contemplation 
in that part I think we ought to be able 
to boast of having au Entomological or 
Natural History Society there. — An

Giving the Time of Appearance in- the 
LARVA and IMAGO States of the 
WHOLE OF THE BRITISH Lepi- 
doptera, with a CLASSIFIED 
ARRANGEMENT of the FOOD 
OF THE LARVAE EACH MONTH; 
and Directions .when and where to find 
the PUPiE, as far as they are known. 
Under the Twelve Monthly Headings 
are arranged the Larvae and Imaeos, 
when in their finest condition, enabling 
the Entomologist at a glance to see 
what work he has before him each 
Month during the Year; while the Food 
of the Larvae being Alphabetically Clas- 
sified, the labour of Larvae hunting and 
identification is minimized.
