THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
gress of this branch of Science on the 
banks of the Isis. How useful such an 
institution must be to all young Ento- 
mologists going up to Oxford and know- 
ing no one ! They have but to make 
their tastes known, and they become at 
once free of an extensive ‘ set,’ for few 
people are more ready to fraternise than 
Entomologists. 
We are in daily expectation of hearing 
that a similar institution has started into 
existence on the banks of the Cara ; or 
is the Cam a more sluggish stream than 
the Isis ? We would fain not think so. 
We have knowu more Entomologists 
from Cambridge than from Oxford ; per- 
haps, since Mr. Hope’s collection went to 
Oxford, those entomologically disposed 
prefer Oxford to Cambridge. Can this 
be so ?

G. II., Jun. — T he larva of Nepticula

H. Z. — It is not usual to place the 
name of the genus to every species in the 
cabinet, and we have no intention to 
print such a list as you propose. When 
you have learned to know the species you 
will not fiud it a desideratum. 
T. Linnell. — There is nothing re- 
markable about the appearance of P. 
meticulosa : no doubt it had hybernated.
