THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
entomologist to impinge with some force 
on the slow-coachedness of the botanist, 
a sudden demand appears to have sprung 
up for local Floras: they are wanted not 
by the botanists but by the entomologists. 
The full force of this demand has not 
yet been felt, but it is a growing demand, 
and in twenty years it will have exercised 
a very perceptible influence on the local 
Floras yet to be compiled ; to suit the 
entomological palate, they will be inter- 
spersed with notes relating to insects. 
The Flora of Rcigate includes the 
well-known districts of Box Hill and 
Mickleham, and will no doubt form the 
pocket-companion of many of our readers 
during their summer rambles in that 
direction. Reigate Heath, judging from 
the plants which grow there, ought to be 
a very rich locality for entomologists, and 
we hope that this little book will do much 
to extend its fame. 
“ On the hills about a mile east of 
Merstham,” we read at p. 10 1 , that Astra- 
galus glycyphyllus “ is plentiful.” Will 
any good-natured Mersthamite search on 
it for the larva of Coleophora serenella P 
We do not know that we have any readers 
at Merstham ; there used to be a girls’ 
school (or an “establishment for young 
ladies”) there; perhaps some of the 
scholars may have imbibed the botanical 
tastes recommended to them in ‘June: 
a Book for the Country in Summer 
Time.’
