TIIE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
forward to a little recreation with as 
much glee as any of our most juvenile 
readers could do. 
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. 
Retail, of J. Yan Voorst, 1, Paternoster 
Row; James Gardner, 52, High 
Holborn ; H. J. Harding, 1, York 
Street, Church Street, Shoreditch. 
&c. &c. &c. 
Those who want to receive it early 
have it sent by post. All for this season, 
after this date, will be forwarded weekly 
on publication, on receipt of 9 d. in 
postage stamps. 
All communications to be addressed to 
Mr. H. T. Stainton, Mountsfield , 
Lewisham , near London , in time to 
reach him by Wednesday in each week 
at the latest. No notice will be 
taken of anonymous communications. 
Mr. Stainton will not be at “home” 
on Wednesday, the 10th inst. In future 
Mr. Stainton will only be at “home” 
the first Wednesday in each month. 
On Wednesday, the 10th inst., Mr. 
Stainton will proceed on a collecting 
expedition up Burnt-Ash Lane : he will 
be at the finger-post where the lane 
forks at 6.30 v. m. Entomologists from 
London who may wish to join him there 
should leave by the 5.30 train for 
Blackheath, proceed thence to the 
Tiger’s Head, opposite to which runs 
the rural lane of Burnt-Ash: the finger- 
post is more than a quarter of a 
mile up the lane. Incipients who are 
too shy or too afraid of intruding to 
come to Mountsfield may perhaps pluck 
up courage enough to meet one in a 
lane. Incipients are requested not to 
come unprovided with nets: and con- 
sidering how soon it grows dark now, 
those will show their wisdom who bring 
lanterns. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Subscribers who do not receive the 
‘Intelligencer’ in due course, are 
requested to foncard their complaints to 
E. Newman, 9, Devonshire Street, 
Bishopsgate Street. 
Pressure of matter compels us to hold 
over several interesting communications. 
Those who wish to complete their series 
of the ‘Intelligencer’ should do so 
before the end of September, as the num- 
bers will not be sold separately after the 
close of next month. 
Price of No. 1 is Twopence: all the 
other numbers may still be had at one 
penny each. 
Frey’s Tineen und Pterophoren- 
der Schweiz. — We have copies on sale 
7s. 6d. each ; post free 7s. lOd. 
J. R., Myddelton Square. — Your 
suggestion is good, and shall have atten- 
tion. 
S. B. — Female moths almost invari- 
ably lay their eggs. Whether the eggs 
are fertile must depend upon the impreg- 
nation of the 9 having taken place. 
H. W. B. — Before announcing your 
Bicuspis larva we should be glad to hear 
you are well acquainted with the larvae of 
Bifida and Furcula , and that you know 
it is neither of them. You arc sure it is 
not a lobster? Your bee is Anthophora 
rctusa ; your fly Volucella pclluccns.
