At the end of ibe Lepidoptera I 
intend to give a list of duplicates 
and desiderata of Coleoplera, Hy- 
inenoptera, Diptera, and Neurop- 
tera, so as to make ‘Tbe Substi- 
tute’ really wbat its name implies, 
‘ Tbe Entomological Exchange 
Facilitator.’ It bas been as yet 
tbe Lepidoptera Exchange Ga- 
zette.— H. J. Habding, 1, York

■ COMMUNICATIONS. 
The proposed Testimonial to the 
Rev. J. Greene, M.A. — Tbe note 
in ‘The Substitute,’ page 172, and 
on tbe cover of tbe ‘ Zoologist’ for 
February, seem to ask for a word 
or two from me. Tbe idea of a tes- 
timonial having originated with 
myself, and the/orm of such (viz., 
a silver trowel in suitable case, 
with a suitable inscription on tbe 
former,) meeting with the appro- 
bation of those to whom I men- 
tioned it, I was next asked, “ How 
should tbe thing be done, and 
sums got together for tbe pur- 
pose?” I proposed two methods, 
viz. — 1st, the amount of expenses 
being ascertained, (tbe names of 
subscribers being weekly pub- 
lished in ‘ The Substitute,’ but no 
money paid pro tern.) ; this should 
be borne equally by all : or 2nd, 
that any amount of subscription 
.should be acceptable, (see my note, 
‘ Substitute,’ page 172), and the 
overplus, if any, to be paid into 
the Hemmings family relief fund ; 
subscribers and subscriptions, and 
the whole matter of expenditure, 
&c., of course to be published in 
‘The Substitute’ and ‘Zoologist.’ 
Thus you have in a few words the 
origin and progress, in part, of the 
matter. I have in hand some sub- 
scriptions, some promised, and 
other communications on the sub- 
ject. If the matter drop through, 
notice to that effect will be for- 
warded to you for publication, and 
subscriptions returned. If a more 
suitable mark of respect to Mr. 
Greene from his fellow entomolo- 
gists can be suggested and carried 
into effect, I shall be most glad, 
and resign my part without a mur- 
mur. One word more I may be 
allowed to say, viz., that many 
more costly and larger gifts than 
a “Trowel” were thought of, but 
this seemed to be appropriate, and 
might be worthy a place over the 
cabinet and in the study of the 
Rev. gentleman. — J. .Johnson,

says “ Siller slays mair souls than 
the sword does bodies.” Will sil- 
ver trowels slay more insects? for 
if so would it not be a good plan 
for every brother of the net to fur- 
nish himself with one, which he 
could present to his most intimate 
friend, and he in return could pre- 
sent the giver one back again ? 
It also occurs to me that a great 
deal of money might be saved by 
getting them all made by one in-
