THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
real labour in the cause, which does 
not contain, somewhere, a novelty, 
and that there is not an Entomologist 
in the kingdom, who has worked 
hard and carefully at the Science for 
a similar period, and who is not pos- 
sessed of some information, which no 
one else, — be he who he may, is ac- 
quainted with. 
In these ways much may be done, 
by every individual Entomolgist, to 
improve the knowledge of the Science. 
Only let there be earnest determina- 
tion and perseverance whose results 
are regularly recorded in the note 
book, and nothing more is needed to 
ensure success. 
We will close by mentioning to our 
readers a suggestion of one of the best 
known, and most scientific Entom- 
ologists of the present day, which 
they would do well to carry out. It 
is that every student of the science 
should write a guide to his own lo- 
cality, — though it be not for publica- 
tion, — giving the most minute and 
accurate directions to the localities 
where each species may be found. 
Such a guide would be invaluable to 
its possessor, and to any stranger 
doubly so. 
The Weekly Entomologist may be 
obtained of Mr. T. Blackburn, 
Bowdon, Cheshire, by post, price 
Three Shillings and Three Pence 
per quarter, prepaid.
