THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
The fust now found,* — believe it, if you 
please, — 
The last confounded with Cardamines, 
But caught this year in sooth : and Ads 
bring 
To comfort Galalliea sorrowiiijr. 
lie too came once,f but, (iuding (cau- 
tious Blue!) 
So many Gulailieas, soon withdrew. 
Kind were the Butterflies of Fifty-eight 
In coming early, and in stnying lute ; 
And, ere the last Antiopa had gone, 
Stout-bodied SphingidtE came booming 
on ; 
Convolvuli, fond of Petunia bed, 
And squeaking Alropos w'ith ghastly 
head ! 
With.AVrii rare, by Winter's ruthless 
gripej 
Untimely nipt, and her with silver 
stripe. § 
Such Lepidoptera in tale and weight 
Were never seen, as in our Fifty-eight. 
Their very names to reckon, thick and 
thin, 
Macros and Micros, could we get them 
in 
Without the coming Gradus, barring 
slips. 
Would read like Homer’s Catalogue of 
Ships, 
Which no one reads but Gladstone; in a 
word. 
The moths of mark are all we here 
record. 
And first, most prominent in name and 
place, 
Hibernian liicolora's welcome face. 
With Bankiana from Killarney’s strand ; 
Ostrina captured twice by female hand ;H 
Parva, from muddy Weston, tiny gem. 
Fit for Titania’s moonlit diadem ;

And Dumerilii from the South — no 
more 51 
Her captor tells-— in Arran caught of 
yore ; . 
And sweet-toothed Fraxini from banks 
of Hull ; 
And Carmdita growing plentiful ; 
And Ocellaris from that fruitful coast 
Whence came Empyrea, Brightonia’s 
boast ; 
And last, not least, to perseverance given, 
Erytlirocephala,\osl since Forty-seven : ** 
Piclaria, Berberaria, Gcmmaria, 
And many other pretty names in aria. 
In Us and ellus, ana and in ella , — 
In white, and brown, and red, and green, 
and yellow. 
Farewell, dear creatures all, and sunshine 
hours. 
And woods, and clifl's, and fields; fare- 
well ye flowers; 
Long rambles over mountain, rock and 
fell, 
Lunches al fresco, jolly friends, fare- 
well ! 
Till winter’s bowling storms have wreaked 
their ire. 
Oft will we think of you by cosy fire. 
Muse o’er the past, and hope to meet 
again. 
When summer suns resume their wide 
domain. E. H.
