THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

deavour; but I hold that the continued 
contemplation of such wonders as would 
he revealed, the spectator, coming within 
one remove of the Power in whom we all 
live and move and have our being, could 
not but result in a conviction of the 
goodness, as well as the greatness of the 
Creator, and a consequent elevation of 
the whole moral nature of the student. 
A youth impressed with these studies 
may be called to go upon paths of duty 
far removed from all such pursuits, but 
in pauses by the way, during the journey 
of life, he will scarcely fail to revert to 
the happy hours he spent, and the reflec- 
tions that occurred in his early years, and 
these thoughts may not only help to keep 
him steady on his path, but encourage 
him to go on with the hope of being able 
again to give his favourite studies re- 
newed attention.” 
We are sorry we cannot quote further, 
at present, but our space warns us to de- 
sist. Our readers will do well to procure 
the work for themselves. 
Dr. Staudinger, of Berlin, has fully 
determined on his entomological cam- 
paign in Iceland, and will sail from 
Copenhagen at the end of the present 
month : be does not propose to visit 
England at present. Dr. Staudinger 
purposes in the summer of 1857, to visit 
Spain and Portugal. 
We learn from Mr. Scott that the 
larva of Elachista cinereopunclella is 
common near Stockton. 
Mr. Drane, we have much pleasure in 
stating, has met with the larvae of Lam- 
prosetia Verhuellella feeding on the Asple- 
nitim rula-muraria, which grows abun- 
dantly on the ruins at Caerphilly ; but 
he only found the larva; on those plants 
growing in a north-west or northerly 
aspect. Mr. Bostock has also sent us 
this larva from Bideford. 
Mr. William Thomas, of Park Gate, 
near Rotherham, has good specimens of 
Thyatira clerasa captured last year, still 
on hand ; does any one want that species ? 
Ornix Loganella. — Our readers will 
be glad to hear that this species has 
been bred by Mr. Wilkinson, of Scar- 
borough, from the leaves of the Moun- 
tain-ash. 
Lithocolletis irradiella. — Several 
specimens of this interesting species have 
been bred from oak leaves by Mr. Wil- 
kinson, of Scarborough. The same gen- 
tleman is also now rearing L. Amyotella. 
Brephos Notha. — This was un- 
usually plentiful at West Wickham last 
Sunday, but very active, owing to the 
bright sunshine. 
Epischnia diversaeis. — A specimen 
of this rare pearl was exhibited by Mr. 
S. Stevens at the March meeting of the 
Entomological Society. It was taken by 
Mr. Mytton, at Hurstperpoint, near 
Brighton. 
British Museum. — “It is with much 
satisfaction we learn that the appoint- 
ment of Mr. Panizzi to the office of 
Chief Librarian and Secretary of the 
British Museum is likely to be accom- 
panied with symptoms of a general reform 
in the establishment. The department 
of Natural History, including Zoology 
and Botany, will, we believe, be presided 
over by Professor Owen ; and it is not
