above to sell, and will write me (not call), 
with price of each, he will much oblige, 
and if he receives no answer by the 13th 
of November he may conclude his offer is 
not accepted.— H. T. Ta vebner,7, Saville 
Row, Mile End Road, E. ; Oct. 19. 
Exchange. — If any gentleman lias a 
fine pair of A, Alropos or S. Convolvuli 
that he is willing to exchange for a fine 
specimen of E. Fuscantaria, 1 shall be 
happy to hear from him. — J. H. Tilly, 
3, Bernard Street, Regent's Park North, 
London; Oct. 18. 
Two Entomologists Lost. — Can any one 
inform me of the address of the Rev. H. A. 
Stowell, late of Faversham, Kent ? also of 
Mr.W. Langley, of Bp. Cosen’s Hall, Dur- 
ham ? At the same time I beg to caution 
all against having any dealings with either 
of them, as they have had insects and 
boxes of me, and I can get no answer. — 
W. Fakren, Cambridge. 
All gone.~l have received far more 
applications for Sphinx Convolvuli than 
I can even reply to, far less supply with 
specimens; so that those who do not 
hear from me may understand the reason 
for my silence. — Henry R. Madde.n, 
Brighton ; Sept. 2(5. 
Stock exhausted . — My stock of dupli- 
cates of C. Hyale and L. Sibylla is quite 
e.xhausted ; therefore I hope those gentle- 
men whose letters I am unable to answer 
will not think me wanting in courtesy. — 
W. P. Harrington, 16, High Street, 
Colchester ; Sept. 30. 
Stock exhausted . — My stock of dupli- 
cates is quite exhausted; if I had had 
ten times as many of 101 I could not 
have supplied all. I hope those gentle- 
men who have not heard from me will 
not think me disrespectful, as it would 
have taken me a whole day to answer 
iilL — James Bryant, 16 , Edward Street, 
Shepherd’s Walk ; Oct. 25. 
Stuck exhausted. — I beg to inform 
those gentlemen whose letters resj)ecting 
Paniscus have not been answered that my 
stock is completely exhausted. — IJ. 
Daniell, 13, Bedford Row, Barnsbury 
Street, Islington; Oct. 23. 
A WARNING TO THE CLUMSY AND 
CARELESS. 
J'o the Editor of the ' Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — I think it would be well if you 
w'ere to give a word of advice to ento- 
mologists in general respecting the neces- 
sity of being a little more particular in 
setting their specimens, for what looks 
worse in your cabinet than a row of in- 
sects set in all manner of forms, some 
with their legs sticking upright, like a 
sentinel’s bayonet, others with one wing 
up and one down ; and (which is <if much 
more importance) to keep their insects 
clear of mites, for I have had so many 
specimens sent me lately which have 
been more fit for the fire than to be 
placed in my cabinet, that I am getting 
quite tired of corresponding ; many of 
my friends complain of the same thing, 
and I do not doubt but there are many 
others who can bear testimony to the 
same effect. I lately had a l)ox of in- 
sects sent me Irom tlie country, upon 
opening which I found, to my disgust, 
that it contained some thousands of 
mites instead of the insects I had been 
so anxiously expecting. What was I to 
do with them ? Why I burnt them, box 
and all, and made a note in my book of 
correspondence, so that I may guard 
against such careless collectors another 
time,— I call them “collectors,” for I 
cannot reckon them amongst entomolo- 
gists. Yours respectfully, 
W. H. Latciieoro.
