TO THE EDITOR OE THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — I cannot admit for a moment 
that the report of the Meeting of the 
Junior Entomological Society, which ap- 
peared, from a correspondent of another 
order (I allude to Aromia moschata), in 
your paper of July 25th, was correct. 
I had much better opportunities than 
he could possibly have had of hearing 
and seeing what took place. 
I was not inoarcerated in a glass 
bottle, and had the privilege of free loco- 
motion throughout the room ; I think that, 
as he says he was much disturbed by the 
squeaks of his companions, he would 
have acted more wisely had he abstained 
from making any report of what he must 
have had such great difficulty in seeing 
and in hearing. 
It is absurd to suppose that the Presi- 
dent could have said he was the only 
collector of Coleoptera in the Society, as 
I have before now seen beetles being laid 
out by other Members of the Society. 
Unfortunately I was not at all aware 
that it would have been serviceable my 
taking notes, so that I cannot send you 
an actual report: but my opportunities, 
though thus wasted, were very great. 
During the whole of the President’s ad- 
dress, I was seated either on his coat- 
collar or on the top of his head, and I 
made a point of settling upon the head 
and face of every member, whenever he 
spoke; perhaps you might observe I 
occasionally caused an appearance of 
telegraphic signals, as where I alight T 
am generally felt to tickle, and thus I 
always possess the power of making any 
one put his hand to his right or left 
cheek, just as I choose. 
If you wish for a full report, next week 
I shall be happy to send you one.
