MISCELLANEA. 
A Schoolboy's Thoughtlessness . — liUSt 
July there appeared in the ‘Intelli- 
gencer’ a notice (signed “ A. H. Pearson, 
Harrow ”) offering to send a specimen of 
Z.AEsculi, on receipt of an omnibus box 
of insects. Being in want of JEsculi, T 
sent off such a box, which reached its 
destination safely, for in a day or two I 
had a letter from Mr. Pearson to say I 
was too late for the first batch, and asking 
me to wait till some more specimens 
could be caught. I waited some weeks 
till I wanted my box, and then wrote to 
ask for it: this letter reached a Mr. 
A. H. Pearson, also an Harrowian, but 
not the right one, for he writes back to 
say he lias nothing to do with insects, 
and that I never sent him a box. 
“ 1 think tlicro be two Pearsons in the lielJ." 
If the original one sees this, will he be 
kind enough to take the hint, and look 
up his correspondents’ boxes tliat are 
lying bv him? I do not want the speci- 
mens I sent to be returned, and would 
not have asked for my box in this way it 
the postman had not failed in his search. 
— I. H., Exeter. 
Lost, an Address . — Having lost the 
address of Mr. E. Rhodes, I should feel 
obliged if he would forward it to me, as 
I have a box waiting for him. — J. P.
