178 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCES. 
prospect is there of any of these ap- 
pearing in print that week ? As soon 
as we had left our printer's office he 
proceeded to set in order our eight 
pages, and then to press, for it is well 
known that some of our readers ex- 
pect to get their * Intelligencer’ before 
Thursday night. Even our foreign cor- 
respondents always expect to receive 
the paper on the Saturday. 
Those who are able to devote a few 
minutes to the consideration of the 
above will, we trust, be of opinion 
that we are not unreasonable in asking 
them to refrain from giving way to 
feelings of impatience. We do not 
wish to annoy any one, but at the 
same time we do not want to be 
annoyed by receiving querulous letters. 
The Entomologist’s Weekly Intel- 
ligencer may be obtained 
Wholesale of E. Newman, 9, Devon- 
shire Street, Bishopsgate, and of 
W. Kent & Co., 51 & 52, Pater- 
noster Row. 
All communications to be addressed to 
Mr. H. T. Stainton, Mountsfield , 
Lewisham, near London, S.E. No notice 
will be taken of anonymous communica- 
tions.

worth making ; write more distinctly 
another time.
