THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
and said lie would couple with that 
toast the name of Mr. Fenning. (This 
was the signal for loud and continuous 
applause, all who had been present last 
year well remembering Mr. Fenning’s 
speech-making capabilities.) 
Mr. Fenning said it was always 
gratifying to him to meet these as- 
semblies of entomologists, as they 
proved to him that entomologists, after 
all, were very much like other peo- 
ple, and ate and drank, talked and 
laughed, just as ordinary unscientific 
individuals would have done. Mr. Fen- 
ning said he was sorry to hear that 
there was so much that was faulty in 
the conduct of entomologists ; he did 
not speak on this head from his own 
knowledge, but he derived his informa- 
tion from a little periodical, ‘The En- 
tomologist’s Weekly Intelligencer,’ the 
editor of which must be supposed to 
know the wants and requirements of 
entomologists. Now entomologists had 
lately been accused of killing the goose, 
in order to obtain the golden eggs ; and 
then they were accused of wasting their 
time, of regretting the past, resolving for 
the future, but, in the meanwhile, doing 
nothing in the “ time present.” But, he 
added, he had been most horrified at 
what he had lately read, in the periodical 
alluded to, respecting the proper treat- 
ment of the dragon-flies : it was per- 
fectly shocking, he said, to read of the 
mode in which the insides of those crea- 
tures were to be operated on, and he 
would not harrow the insides of those 
present by further commenting on the 
subject. 
Several other toasts were then pro- 
posed, and the meeting then broke 
up.
