EXAMINATIONS IN ENTOMOLOGY. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer: 
Sir, — May I be allowed to call atten- 
tion to a question that was discussed 
some time ago, but seems now to have 
dropped altogether ? I allude to the sub- 
ject of Examinations. This was taken 
up with considerable eagerness by many, 
but seems to have ended where it began. 
No one appears willing to take the lead 
or to act at all in the matter. I own 
that there are great difficulties to be 
overcome, but why should not the Ento- 
mological Society take it up ? They 
may, however, say there will be expenses 
attending it, and their iiuauccs are not 
now, it appears, in a very flourishing 
state, but why should not every one ex- 
amined pay a stated fee, as at the Ex- 
aminations of the University of Loudon ? 
It need not be high, but just enough to 
defray all the expenses attending the 
Examination. Will no one undertake to 
bring it before the notice of that body 
(the Entomological Society) ? I am sure 
that I am not far wrong when I say that 
all (of the rising generation) who have 
any emulation about them will be glad 
enough to come forward. 
I am, sir, 
Yours, &c., 
W. C. Turner.

LITHOCOLLETIS SCHltEBERELLA. 
Yellow leaf, that clingesl last 
To the bare elm’s topmost bough, 
Like a sea boy to the mast, 
While all is waste and drear below ; 
What hold’st thou in thy bosom brave, 
Pale and weak, but holding still ? 
Or seek’st thou but thyself to save, 
Now the wild winds have their will? 
Ah ! thou art gone, — now whirled on 
high, 
• Now cast upon the woodland brook : 
Now will I solve the mystery, 
Come to thy aid with friendly crook. 
Yes, within this curious fold, 
In soft cocoon all wrapp’d so nice, 
What is it that my eyes behold ? 
A little wriggling chrysalis! 
A useful life, a useful death 
Was thine, poor leaf; and in decay, 
’Mid the damp earth's steaming breath, 
Usefulness still tracks thy way.
