184 THE EXTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIG ENCEP. 
believe that King’s specimens are true 
and genuine English captures. 
But if the Entomological Society were 
to form out of their Members a per- 
manent Judicial Committee which would 
take the trouble to receive and sift evi- 
dence, and thoroughly investigate all 
captures of novelties, I think that the 
entomological world would thankfully 
accept their decisions, and owe them no 
small debt of gratitude. 
II. B. 
PROPOSAL FOR AN ENTOMOLOGICAL 
SOCIETY AT ISLINGTON. 
To the Editor of the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — I see by the ‘ Annual ’ that we 
have upwards of sixty entomologists in 
and about Islington. Is there any good 
reason why we should not have a local 
Society? T see none; and if any Tsling- 
tonians think with me I shall be happy 
to receive their names and addresses; 
and I shall hope for your sympathy in 
the movement by giving this a corner in 
your valuable serial. 
In making this request I am influenced 
only by a desire to see others follow the 
example, so that there may be a local 
Society in every important district, which 
would, I believe, result in the advance- 
ment of the Science of Entomology, by 
increasing the number of entomologists, 
and, as a consequence, the chances of 
important discoveries. 
I am. Sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
C. S. Mau.ett.
