(owing to the nature of the

dozen. While engaged in this 
pleasing occupation, we observe a 
'sudden flash of bright golden yel- 
low float down from above like a 
Hiving sun-beam, and rest abruptly 
(on a flower close to us; one

For a moment we experience the 
I feeling so truly remarked by Mr.

I directed blow the beautiful crea- 
I ture is captured. It, too, is trans- 
ferred from the net to our nearly- 
filled box ; and somewhat tired we 
retire to the clover, and sit down 
to rest ourselves. — Roland Tbi-

NEW BOOKS. 
Glaucus; or, the Wonders of 
THE Shore. By Charles 
Kingsley, F.L.S., Author of 
‘ Westward Ho! ’ ‘ Hypatia,’ &c. 
Third Edition, corrected and 
enlarged ; clotli, gilt edges ; 
price Ss. 6d. Cambridge ; Mac- 
millan & Co. 
“The sixth thousand” of ‘ Glau- 
cus’ is now advertised. Hence 
of the two previous editions live 
thousand are in circulation, with 
all their blunders about the Ento- 
mology of this country being ex- 
hausted. Those who possess those 
editions are requested to observe 
that that assertion is untrue. 
Knowing this to be the case, and 
knowing that a eontiilent erroneous 
statement must do injury, we wrote 
to Mr. Kingsley anil pointed out 
his error. This is not a solitary 
instance of our going out of our 
way to point out to other people 
blunders they had committed; 
sometimes we get into scrapes 
thereby ; but, never mind, we do 
our duty. 
On this occasion “ virtue had its 
own reward,” for our imprudence 
in pointing out the error to a per- 
fect stranger was not only taken 
kindly, but has led to a continued 
correspondence, a promise to cor- 
rect the error in the next edition, 
and further it has led 
but we had better not run away 
any further from our subject. 
Instead of now reading that 
“ Entomologists are spending their 
time in verifying a few obscure 
species,” 8<.c., we find that for 
“ the entomologist much re- 
mains to be done;” but then, Mr. 
Kingsley perversely adds, “ only 
at a heavy outlay of time, labour 
and study.” 
This is not true. We don’t wish 
to be thought too exigeant, but 
certainly we are not content yet 
with page 23 of this third edition. 
The entomological additions to 
the volume will be found at pages 
154_l(j0, qnd at 166—188: we 
would willingly extract the larger 
portion, but our space is unfor- 
tunately, like so many of the new 
Companies of the present day, 
“ limited,” so we content ourselves 
with the following brief quotation 
about the insect inhabitants of our 
streams. . 
“ But perhaps the most interestr 
ing of all the tribes of Naiads arc
