THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
their numbers, as had been the case 
up to the present time, they might 
treble them in the next half year. 
He also advised the members to 
search well our own neighbouring 
woods ; for Plumstead Abbey, and 
Shooter’s Hill woods afford as fine 
a field for the entomologist as any 
within twenty miles, and why go 
from home at an expense and loss 
of valuable time, that might be 
better spent in endeavouring to turn 
up some new or local species, that 
would be a desideratum to our 
brothers of the net in other parts of 
the country? He also thought if 
publicity was given to our meetings 
and doings, we might get great 
assistance from collectors at a dis- 
tance, who had duplicate insects 
to spare, for he was quite aware 
that men who had to f oil for their 
daily bread, as the members of this 
society had, could ill afford the time 
and expense of travelling any great 
distance in search of local species. 
He hoped in the course of a few 
weeks to furnish them, himself, with 
a few specimens of species not found 
in our neighbourhood, as he was 
going for a short time to Budleigli, 
Salterton, Devon, and intended 
collecting exclusively on his own 
lands for one week of his stay. He 
also exhibited a box of Scotch 
Lepidoptera, presented to him by his 
friend, Mr. Harding, of Deal.

Having some young larvae of 0. gon- 
ostigma to spare, if there is any one 
that has any eggs or larvae of any 
other species to spare, I shall be glad 
to hear from them. G. linneella is 
out now in great abundance. If 
any of your readers are in want of 
it, I will collect a few for them, if 
they will send a few pill boxes 
and pay the postage. They can set 
them themselves, as I have not time 
to to set them. — T. Eedt.tc, 9, Maid,
