THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
General Catalogue of British insects 
of all the orders, — Coleoptera, Uy- 
menoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, 
Neuroptera, Orthoptera and lie mi p- 
tera, — the price to he five Shillings; 
— Curtis's was ten 'shillings. The 
British Museum Lists are at present 
the only standard ones, and the type 
is so much too large, and the paper 
so very inferior, that they are by no 
means what they should be for labels. 
The one I am preparing, with the 
help of some of our most eminent En- 
tomologists, will be printed in proper 
type, and on good and thick paper, — 
and will be so arranged in columns as 
to offer the greatest possible facility 
also for exchange, — each copy serving 
as will be seen, for lists of all the 
species, already obtained by the 
several collectors (as many as half a 
dozen), as well as those which, at 
the time are desiderata to them, — the 
whole being visible at a glance as 
regards the different individuals. 
The Catalogue will also he found use- 
ful, otherwise, for notes of captures, 
dates, etc, etc, ample space being 
afforded by the above mode for such 
purposes. I must first, however, 
obtain the names of a sufficient num- 
ber of subscribers, and shall feel 
obliged for any which can be procured 
I shall be glad also to hear, on the 
subject, from Entomologists in other 
parts of the country. — R ev. F. 0.
