A SEARCH FOR A BROTHER. 
“ I say ! there is another entomologist 
in the town,” said a young friend to me, 
a few days since. 
“There is!” said I. “Who is he?” 
I enquired. 
“ Don ’t know,” was the answer. 
“What is he?” 
“ Don’t know I” 
“Where is he?” 
“ Do n’t know ! ” 
“ Where did you see him ? ” 
“ Well now, I can satisfy you in that 
respect. I was in the shop of B , 
the druggist, on Saturday evening, when 
the little man came in with the ‘ Intel- 
ligencer ’ in his hand, and enquired for 
methylated chloroform, and I entered 
into conversation with him upon the 
subject of Entomology, and I found he 
was an incipient. He further told me 
he was going to the fir wood, at M , 
on Friday evening, to have a trial at 
sugaring. 
“ Oh, is he ! I ’ll see if I can’t find 
him out, for I have a strong desire for 
an expedition of that kind.” 
Accordingly, when Friday evening (the 
25th of June) came, I took up my haver- 
sack, containing the indispensable net 
and equally indispensable pill-boxes, and 
started for M . The evening was 
fine and calm. Being early at the wood, 
I determined not to look for the ento- 
mologist until the dusk of the evening, 
so I hunted up the lane that divided the 
wood into two distinct portions. In this 
lane I found an abundance of larvas of 
the Pink Underwing {Callimorpha Ja- 
cobam), which had completely stripped 
some plants of the ragwort. In a much 
decayed stump of a tree I found some 
jet ants {Formica fuliginosa), and, after 
observing them for some little time, I 
captured two for the purpose of “mount- 
ing up.” Penetrating some little dis- 
tance into the left-hand wood, I found 
but little to encourage me to remain 
longer, so taking another track I re- 
turned to the lane and entered the op- 
posite wood. In this I beat an oak tree, 
which yielded me several specimens of
