THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
not be out of place, as it is most prob- 
able that if Lepidopterists would look 
out more closely to wbat may be 
mingled among the host of common 
Uydrocampa:, I cannot fail to hear 
one day of this species being vindi- 
cated to England.”

[We need hardly say that when 
any Entomologist lias realised Pro- 
fessor Zeller’s anticipations we shall 
be most happy to hear from him . 
In the “ Manual,” appended to the 
description of Uydrocampa Stagnata 
is the following : — 
“ Mr. Bond has specimens of a 
pale variety, in which the inner line 
and sub terminal line are obliterated; 
they were taken near Cork, and per- 
haps may be a distinct species.” 
Is it possible that these may be 
Uydrocampa rivulalis which, accord- 
ing to the professor’s account in some 
degree resembles U. stagnata ? 
Of course, never having seen either 
Mr. Bond’s specimens, or H. rivulalis 
we cannot give an opinion.]

COLEOPTEEA. 
Setting of Coleoptera . — In the in- 
structions on this head given by Mr. 
Wollaston, he recommends that all 
beetles, up to the size of a Uarpalus, 
(and I should say larger ones, or 
even all) should be set out on cards, 
as being thus rendered more safe 
against the many “moving accidents” 
to which those set with pins are 
necessarily exposed from time to time. 
He also recommends that they be 
first set indiscriminately, a number 
together, on a large piece of card, and 
that these be afterwards cut out on 
square or oblong pieces of the same, 
in fact, “fitting the coat according to 
the cloth.” 
This is also right and proper, but 
it will be found very difficult, if not 
almost impossible, to secure sufficient 
neatness or uniformity in the “ cut- 
ting out department.” I think that 
some sort of simple machinery might 
readily be devised by some of your 
correspondents, and I have little 
doubt but that to carry out the idea, 
would be worthy the attention of any 
dealer in Entomological apparatus, 
who might then supply the necessary 
sizes, at so much per hundred, for 
the appropriate sizes of the insects, 
neatness and uniformity both being 
secured. — F. 0. Morris, Nunburn-
