already known. Indeed there is no end 
to the advantages that might flow from 
such an arrangement to the Travelling 
Fellow himself, to the entomological 
community and to Science. An impulse 
would he given to Entomology such as 
has not been fell since the dawn of the 
‘Intelligencer’ era, and, though every 
guinea so laid out might not produce a 
GuenSe, it would certainly tend to in- 
crease and improve the race of entomo- 
logists, and perhaps to raise, in time, the 
neglected study of insects to as favoured 
a place among popular studies as that of 
the humble plants on which they feed. 
I am, sir, 
Yours truly, 
Entomophilus. 
THE NEGLECTED ORDERS. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — Excuse my troubling you, but 1 
should feel very much obliged if, through 
the ‘Intelligencer’ (for the benefit of 
other beginners in like plight) or other- 
wise, you would kindly give me any 
hints as to the best and easiest methods 
of killing and setting Micro-Diplera and 
Micro-Hymenoptera. 
I have for some time reflected on the 
state of Entomology in this country, and 
imagine that Lepidoptera forms the all- 
engrossing pursuit of too many entomo- 
logists, while others, like myself (erring, 
I think, on the right side), take every in- 
sect that turns up, and, grasping at 
everything, doubtless lose much. This 
is evidently not how things ought to be; 
but it is useless to make a complaint and 
prescribe no remedy. I imagine, then, 
that if the whole of Entomology were 
divided into some fifty or sixty parts, 
and one or more in various corners of 
England were to devote their spare time 
to each part, keeping an accurate journal 
of their doings and observations (at the 
same time avoiding wordiness), and en- 
deavouring to rear and watch the natural 
history of their portion of the study, a 
useful result might be obtained : and, as 
a kind of fraternity is already established 
between “ the brethren of the net,'’ the 
way seems completely paved for the full 
carrying out of this project. 
I remain, Sir, 
Yours truly, 
A. J. II. 
HOLIDAY AT RUGBY. 
TO THE EDITOR 01' THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — Early in May there is an annual 
holiday given to the School, which affords 
an advantageous opportunity for euto- 
mologizing. Two or three gentlemen 
and myself wish to go out on that day, 
and intend passing one night also away, 
in order to be able to prosecute our 
researches in the evening. Can you or 
any of your readers inform us of any 
place in the neighbourhood known to be 
good for Lepidoptera. 
A Rugb^an (not Tom Brown). 
[We have ourselves no knowledge of 
the localities near Rugby, and must there- 
fore appeal to our readers to assist this 
new movement. Rugby seems likely 
soon to boast of its fair crop of ento- 
mologists.] 
NATURAL HISTORY OF THE TINEINA. 
The Genus Coleophora. 
I now give a list of the Coleophora 
larvae which I do not want ; I have 
arranged them alphabetically. For the 
use of my Continental readers, when the 
name used by Herrich-Sckaffer is different
