To THE Subscribers to the ‘Accen- 
tuated List of British Lepi- 
doptera.’ 
Gentlemen, — I beg to inform you, 
through the medium of the ‘ Intelli- 
gencer, that our ‘ List ’ is now published. 
I have sent to Mr. Van Voorst, the pub- 
lisher, the names of the snbscribers ; he 
will supply them with their copies, at the 
rate of 3s. per copy (post free 3s. 6d.) 
The price to non-subscribers is 5s. 
Yours truly, 
Alfred F. Sealy, 
Hon. Sec. Cam. Ent. Soc. 
A GLOSSARY. 
To the Editor of the ^Intelligencer** 
Sir, Has it yet occurred to you, or 
any of your readers, that there exists a 
great want for a work explaining the 
technical phrases used in works on Ento- 
mology ? Many of these phrases are so 
obscure that I think an “Entomological 
Dictionary,” or rather “ Glossary,” is 
much needed, — one which should em- 
brace all such words as are used in the 
study of this interesting Science, and 
seldom if ever found in an ordinary 
dictionary. Valuable books have been 
written by entomologists, well acquainted 
with all the idioms peculiar to this 
branch of Natural History, but many 
have been published without proper de- 
finitions being given of those words which 
are not likely to be understood by a 
novice. When this is the case it is a 
great drawback, and very discouraging 
to working men, who, anxious for in- 
struction, purchase such works, or perhaps 
obtain them from Societies to which they 
belong ; and, on perusing the contents, 
perceive the disadvantage under which 
they are labouring, and are not able to 
gain the information they might have 
gained had they had a Glossary to refer 
to which explained the technical terms 
used. In order to advance the study of 
Entomology amongst the working classes, 
I consider this a very necessary arrange- 
ment, and that it would much facilitate 
their studies, whereas, under existing 
circumstances, they have to seek the re- 
quired information from some friend of 
greater learning. 
Yours truly, 
January 15. K. A. 
THE JOYS OF THE DAYS THAT 
ARE GONE. 
Oh! when I first collecting went. 
To Battersea or famed Darenth, 
What visions fill’d my brain ! 
Bright Caloxomas gemmed the trees, 
Antiopas sailed on the breeze. 
With lovely Queens of Spain ! 
But fled are all those joyous dreams. 
Less green the grass, less bright the 
streams. 
Less sunlight gilds my views : 
The Emperor has dingy grown. 
And half the Admiral’s splendour ’s flown ; 
All butterflies seem blues I 
Where are those hosts of fairy things, 
To which my memory fondly clings.'* 
Apollo's self has flown ; 
Now beetles seem but half their size, 
I never take a Grand Surprise, 
Nor Hampsleadeusis own. 
The very books I loved so well, 
Which held me ’rapt neath magic spell, 
Enrapture me no more! 
My faith, poor Stephens! e’en in thee 
Is shaken, and I cease to be 
Charmed with thy wizard lore.
