sallows called Palm ?),.and consequently 
they get the advantage of being searched 
and hunted by school-boys during the 
Easter holidays, and by collegians during 
the Easter vacation. 
It is also by day that the Lepidopterist 
visits the sallows when in pursuit of the 
lovely little Adela cuprella , an insect we 
have never had the pleasure of seeing on 
the wing, a pleasure, by the way, which 
some collectors have rather too much of, 
as they see far more specimens flying 
than they can contrive to catch ; for a 
moth that flies over the middle of a 
tolerable-sized sallow bush is not exactly 
in the best place for being caught; and 
as sunny weather at this time of the year 
is apt also to be a lit tie windy, the long- 
horned beauty flies naturally rather wild, 
and a well-directed stroke of the net will 
often succeed in — missing its object. 
We discovered, accidentally, last year, 
after the sallow season was over, that 
some entomologists were not actually 
aware what we meant by “sallows:” if 
any are still in such plight we hope they 
will let us know, for we might then put 
them in the way of making a step forward 
in the pursuit of Entomology. Those 
also (incipients of course) who are unsuc- 
cessful at the sallows we should like to 
hear from, as we could, perhaps, put them 
in the way of improving their sport.
