THE JAPAN QUESTION. 
To the Editor of ike * IntelligeykcerJ' 
Sir, — I venture to address to you a 
short appeal on behalf of iny poor 
fellow-countrymen, and to suggest that 
we in Japan, like you in England, 
really do not know all about the Ento- 
mology even of our little isles, and 
that therefore we are quite wise in 
closing our ears to the demands which 
our brethren make to us, in acceding to 
which we should open the almost bound- 
less field of continental Entomology to 
our already-sufficiently-occupied heads 
and hands ; and I would take the liberty 
of recommending our brethren across the 
water to take care that they possess and 
know all about those within their reach, 
before they add even our few insular 
species to the list of their desiderata ; 
and to me it seems far from wise to urjre 
us as a body to open our collections to 
foreign species, and to endeavour to com- 
prehend the Lepidoptera of the world in 
our studies, when to make a perfect col- 
lection of our native species, and to 
understand them thoroughb/ is more than 
one man has yet been able to do. 
Do a little and do it well rather than 
a great deal badly is a maxim taught, I 
am told, in your schools as well as in 
ours. 
Your obedient sen'ant. 
Jeddo. 
A Japanese.
