THE SUBSTITUTE. 
white cotton sheeting were sewed 
tot;elher to form one piece of larpfe 
dimensions ; tliis was placed under 
a tree, and with a pole as lonp; as 
could be managed the top branches 
were heat ; for the lower branches 
the umbrella is handier and more 
easily used. The instruments in 
use for pupa-collecting were the 
rake and trowel : the rake is use- 
ful for leaves and the surface soil ; 
the trowel for digging. But some 
prefer the rake for all purposes ; 
that with two teeth I like the best.

Testimonial to the Rev. 
Joseph Greene.

.Ian. 24, 1857. 
Sir, — On reading the Rev. Job 
Johnson’s suggestion in ‘ The 
Substitute’ (p. 155) for a testimo- 
nial to the Rev. .Joseph Greene, 
an idea occurred to me which will 
be better explained by the follow- 
ing correspondence, which I have 
Mr. Greene’s full permission to 
print and publish. 
My object in addressing this 
correspondence to you is to 
obtain, through the medium of 
‘The Substitute,’ Mr. Johnson’s 
public consent to my attempting 
to carry out his design in an 
altered form, the entire merit of 
the idea resting with him. 
Yours most truly, 
Edward Newman. 
To the Editor of ‘ The Substitute.’ 
Mr. Neuman to the Rev, Joseph 
Greene. 
London, Jan. 22, 1857. 
My dear Sir, — Fully participa- 
ting as I do in the sentiment con- 
veyed in the Rev. J. Johnson’s 
proposition in ‘The Substitute,’ I 
still take the liberty of inquiring 
directly of yourself whether the 
presentation of a silver trowel be 
really the best mode of expressing 
to an entomologist the sentiment 
of gratitude for his literary ser- 
vices. 
My own idea is that a complete 
copy of Guenee, Fischer, or some 
other standard European work on 
Lepidoptera, would be more ap- 
propriate. 
I would also take the liberty of 
suggesting a Loudon recipient of 
subscriptions, and the name of the 
universally esteemed President of 
the Entomological Society occurs 
to me, as in all respects, the most 
desirable. 
Believe me, my dear Sir, 
Very truly yours, 
Edward Newman. 
Rev. J. Greene, M.A., &c.

My dear Sir,— The proposition 
to present me with some testimo- 
nial in consideration of my paper 
on ‘ Pupa Digging,’ published in 
the ‘ Zoologist,’ was wholly unex- 
pected by me. I can truly add 
that it does not appear to me to 
merit such a token of approval. 
At the same time, it would be idle 
in me to deny that such an ex-
