o 
THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
with reference to the examination of 
entomologists, who, though green to the 
study, are old in years, that we are 
not disposed to recommend that the 
entomological examination be open to 
any one above the age of twenty. 
We would suggest there should be 
a junior and senior class; the junior 
class between fifteen and seventeen 
years of age, the seuior between seven- 
teen and twenty. 
As to the subjects of examination, 
the certificates of merit and the prizes 
to be awarded, we must reserve the 
consideration of these subjects for a 
future number.

ligencer may be obtained

unless we saw the ground, it is very diffi- 
cult to say, but we can scarcely fancy a
