THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
128 
seventy members of the Club, thanking 
him for the very zealous and efficient 
way in which he had aided and supported 
the Club, which appeared to have owed 
its existence mainly to his exertions. 
Mr. Saunders, in returning thanks, 
narrated how his love for natural history 
commenced in early life, and how before 
he was ten years of age he used to make 
collections of different grasses, beginning 
at first with the dry grasses in a hay-loft, 
which constituted, so to speak, his horlus 
siccus, and afterwards ransacking mea- 
dows, sandy banks and swampy places 
for the grasses in their living state : he 
remarked that natural history could only 
be studied out of doors, and that an ex- 
treme amount of book-learning would 
go but a little way to form a naturalist. 
Mr. Martin called the attention of the 
members present to a little lecture on 
‘Natural History,’ delivered at Croydon 
by Mr. Flower, and which he recom- 
mended them all to read attentively. 
We understand that the meetings and 
excursions of this Club are exceedingly 
well attended, and their next excursion 
is fixed for the 2 3rd inst., when Leith 
Hill and Wootton are to be investigated 
by the members of the Holmesdale 
Natural History Club. 
Treasures in Cornwall. 
Mr. Boyd has spent a few weeks in 
the neighbourhood of the Land’s End, 
and has brought home a number of inte- 
resting novelties: not the least curious is 
a Gelechia, only hitherto detected by 
Mr. Wollaston, in Madeira; a showy 
Gelechia as large as Longicornis, was 
not very rare amongst the Cornish Heath ; 
and, as a larger capture, maybe mentioned 
the Corsican species of Diasemia Ram- 
burialis. — Further particulars next 
week. 
Dr. Stauoinger is expected to arrive 
here from Spain next week, with a valu- 
able cargo of insects from the South of 
Spain. Letters for Dr. S. should be 
addressed to the care of Mr. Staiuton.
