THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
to advocate the plan of giving to in- 
sects names without meaning, simply as 
names, for I think it better that the name 
should have some relation to the insect ; 
but I do protest against the giving names 
which have a specific meaning, without 
the certainty that that meaning is suitable 
— it is making and perpetuating a guess 
which is far more likely to be wrong than 
right. 
Nor is the preseut case by any means 
a solitary instance; the catalogue is full of 
them : Corylifoliella feeds upon haw- 
thorn ; Solilariella is generally found in 
some number, and the larva of Scopariella 
is unknown; iijdeed there are so many 
that it is never safe to trust the name as 
a guide ; and one almost fancies there is 
some truth in the accusation brought by 
beginners against authors — “ that they 
try to make the study as difficult as 
possible.” Y.

“ No work in the En-

than Kirby and Spence's 
learned and popular In-

of your own eyes and 
faculties, the curious de- 
tails in rural economy, 
animal biography, and 
mental philosophy, amas- 
sed with so much study 
and personal observation, 
and digested with equal 
taste and judgment by the 
learned authors, indis- 
solubly associated in fame 
and remembrance, as they 
were in life-long friend- 
ship, though now for a 
little while separated by 
a temporal change. To 
the survivor of the two 
we owe a very charming 
addition to the volume, 
in the shape of letters 
and recollections con- 
nected with the first con- 
ception and progress of 
the work, and the cordial 
friendship which, having 
originated and matured 
the undertaking, so long 
survived its completion,
