THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Before farther discussion as to the 
desirableness of the ‘ Intelligencer’ con- 
tinuing, the question ought to be plainly 
put and answered, Are you disposed to 
give your time, and the trouble necessary 
as Editor, during the dreary months? 
If you say No, then let us pass a unani- 
mous vote of thanks for what you have 
done, and wish you comfortable quarters 
till spring; if you say Yes, then ought 
we to send y^u a drop of delicious nectar 
in a gold (snuff) box, to cheer you on, 
and promises of abundant help; for who 
that has been much in the woods and 
fields, and has not determinedly kept his 
eyes closed, could not send you a few 
articles that would interest your readers, 
and perhaps — yes, even perhaps relate 
something that the “ knowing ones” wot 
not of. 
I must not further trespass on your 
space, but I wished to remind your cor- 
respondents that in discussing as to the 
hybernation of your periodical your con- 
venience should not be entirely over- 
looked. — Geobge Gascoyne, Newark; 
August 4, 1856.
