THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S 
WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
No. 23.] SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1856. [Price 1 d. 
OUR SUBSTITUTE. 
A large number of our readers think 
that it would be useful to have a weekly 
paper for the purpose of publishing lists 
of duplicates and desiderata. 
Cannot such a paper be supplied 
without our own continuance? We 
think it can, and the following is our 
proposition : — 
On Saturday, the 25 th of October, will 
be published the First Number of 
THE SUBSTITUTE; 
Or, Entomological Exchange Facilitator and 
Entomologist’s Fire-side Companion. 
This will he continued weekly for 
twenty weeks. 
Each number will consist of twelve 
pages duodecimo, price 2d. 
It will contain lists of duplicates and 
desiderata (which will appear in the 
order of priority in which they reach the 
Editor), and it will contain notices of 
summer rambles, of a more lengthy 
nature than were suited to our own 
columns. 
All communications for ‘ The Sub- 
stitute’ to he addressed — To the Editor 
of 1 The Substitute,’ 9, Devonshire Street, 
Bishopsgale Street, London. 
Those who wish to have ‘ The Sub- 
stitute’ forwarded weekly by post, are 
requested to forward 5s. in postage 
stamps to the publisher, E. Newman, 
9, Devonshire Street, Bishopsgate Street, 
on or before Saturday, October 18th, and 
we trust those who wish well to the 
undertaking will assist it by furnishing 
materials. 
‘ The Intelligencer’ has for some time 
past fed itself freely, so that we have had 
no trouble whatever in filling its pages, 
and have sometimes been perplexed 
which communications to hold back ; 
but in its infancy it was rather up-hill 
work, and we do not wish to see its 
‘Substitute’ labouring under the Same 
disadvantage in early life. 
We trust that this arrangement will 
meet the approval of our readers. One 
main object we accomplish by hyber- 
nating is, we secure a vast amount of 
valuable time, time which is actually 
necessary to enable us to do justice to 
the forthcoming ‘ Annual for 1857,’ and 
to enable us to attend to the claims 
which the subscribers to the 1 Natural 
History of the Tineiua’ have upon us. 
‘ The Substitute,’ though brought out 
under our fatherly eye, and though it 
will often contain scraps from our pen, 
will not be that burden to us the ‘ In- 
telligencer’ has been, as we can get the 
drudgery of the work in it done by 
deputy. 
Editors of papers like some holidays 
as well as lawyers, Members of Parlia- 
ment and school-boys: we are looking
