Ashjornus adilis , Dej. — I yesterday 
received from a friend a living male spe- 
cimen of this beautiful Longicorn, which 
was taken at rest upon palings in the 
neighbourhood of Gloucester. — W. V.

IN RE TRIFOLII. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — I see by this week’s ‘Intelli- 
gencer’ a notice to this effect, “Sir, — 
Would you kindly let me know how I 
shall proceed to get back my box that I 
have sent for Trifolii, as I have sent 
three times for it and of no avail ; and I 
think it a sell,” Sec., Sec. 
Now, Sir, as one story is all very well 
until another is told, I hope that you will 
oblige me by inserting a flat denial to 
almost all that the writer there says. In 
the first place, he has never asked me for 
his box at all, as the enclosed letter will 
show ; and I have never received but 
this one letter from him since he sent his 
box, which I can assure you is of the 
most trumpery description. I hope, Sir, 
that you will, in justice to myself, and in 
justice to others that may lay under the 
stigma, insert this. 1, Sir, when I could 
not supply so numerous a family of ento- 
mologists with Trifolii, wrote to you, and 
you inserted my letter, in which I said 
that I had boxes, some with return post- 
age and some without. I wished that I 
might know how to act, when I received 
letters from some to retain their boxes, 
that I perhaps might meet with more ; 
but he says he thinks it a sell, as another 
was served the same way : perhaps so. 
I have now about a dozen left, and I 
should wish for all those who want their 
boxes returned to inform me, and I will 
forward them immediately ; but as to a 
sell, perhaps you will not think so when 
T tell you that I have posted about 130, 
more or less ! I am sorry that I should 
have been under the necessity of troubling 
you; but fair play and justice demand 
that in the pages of the ‘Intelligencer’ 
truth should be told. I know of one 
young gentleman in Plymouth who 
feels very much annoyed at it, as he 
has been in the habit of sending Trifolii, 
but when he found how matters stood he 
did not send to you demanding the 
initials of the delinquent. It perhaps 
may be galling to many others ; and as 
I, for one, never wished to bring the 
science of Entomology to be slurred by 
my name, I take the earliest opportunity 
to wash my hands from all the Barnes 
family, whoever they might be. 
I remain, Sir, 
Yours truly, 
R. P. Harvie.

P roposal to exchange.— 
I have some rare British Birds’ 
Eggs and the following Insects for ex- 
change, numbered in the ‘Manual’ — 
4, 31, 77, 87, 188. 
I should be glad to receive showy spe- 
cies of all Orders of Brit Eh Insects, par- 
ticularly local ones, British Eggs, good 
Shells, Minerals, Fossils, or Coins. 
Applicants had better enclose, at first, 
lists of duplicates, &c. If they do not 
hear from me they must conclude that 
their species are not acceptable.
