THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

Middleton, Rotherham ; April 27, 
1857. 
COLEOPTERA. 
Biphyllus lunatus. — I shall have plea- 
in sending living specimens of this little 
beetle to any coleopterist in want of it. — 
S. Bingham, Bank, Newnham ; May 30, 
1857. 
Duplicate Coleoptera. — I have a few 
specimens of Crioceris melanopa, and 
plenty of Chrysomela sanguinolenta, Hal- 
tica erucw and mercurialis, Omias bnm- 
nipes, &c., if any body wants any of these 
species. — Rev. Hugh A. Stowell, 
Faversham ; May 22, 1857, 
To prevent misunderstanding . — I 
thought I had made it sufficiently clear 
that boxes must be sent, to me for the in- 
sects promised. Such does not, however, 
appear to be the fact, as I have received 
three letters but no boxes. Will such of 
my correspondents as want the insects 
forward a moderate sized box, wrapped 
in cotton wool, and I will return them as 
soon as possible. An early application is 
necessary, as (D. V.) I leave for the Con- 
tinent at the end of this month. — Rev. J. 
Greene, Play ford, Ipswich; June 1, 
1857. 
Nature- Printed Lepidoptera. — As I in- 
tend, towards the close of the present 
season, to issue two small volumes of 
Nature-Printed Lepidoptera, one of but- 
terflies and the other of moths, I shall be 
glad to hear from collectors desirous of 
possessing a copy or copies, and willing 
to assist me by supplying specimens, 
what they have, or are likely to hare, to 
offer in exchange. As the common, as 
well as some of the rarer kinds, are re- 
quired to be transferred for the volumes, 
collectors can profitably lighten, or 
wholly relieve, themselves of their stock 
of duplicates. Each volume will contain 
specimens of from twenty to forty kinds, 
be finished in the first style of art, and 
will form an elegant ornament to the 
drawing-room table, thus constituting a 
most pleasing means of making more 
generally known the exquisite beauty of 
some of the British Lepidoptera. By my 
process of Nature-Printing the colours 
and markings of the specimens are most 
faithfully preserved, and the impressions 
are uninjured by exposure or handling. 
As the manipulative labour in connexion 
with this work is considerable, only a 
limited number of the volumes will be 
issued. — J. Merrin, 1 , Caroline Villas , 
Falhier Street, Gloucester. 
Entomological Society in Manchester. 
— Several parties in Manchester intend 
to form an Entomological Society, and 
intend holding a preliminary meeting on 
Wednesday, the 17th of June, at eight 
o’clock in the evening, at Mr. Rickett’s, 
Temperance Hotel, Great Bridgewater 
Street, to form rules, &c., by which they 
shall be governed. The attendance of 
all entomologists, to whom convenient, is 
earnestly requested. — Charles Camp- 
bell, Secretary, pro tern., 37, Stone- 
hewer Street, Manchester ; May 28, 1857. 
THE SUGARER. 
The shades of night were falling fast, 
As through a quiet village passed 
A youth, who bore upon his arm 
A jar that had a wondrous charm, 
A “ sugar-pot 1” 
His brow was glad, his eye beneath 
Shone like a Noctua’s on a heath, 
And as he went he gaily sung, 
In accents of an unknown tongue, 
“ Empyrea !” 
In cottage homes he saw the light 
Of farthing “ dips” gleam dimly bright; 
Above, but one pale star there shone, 
Yet still he altered not his tone, 
“ Empyrea ! ”
