THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
ideas to the sublime and the Infinite 
hardly less than a treatise on Astronomy. 
When Entomology shall have been so 
pursued that we shall possess a far more 
thorough knowledge, and that know- 
ledge will be far more widely diffused, 
generalizations of which we have now 
no conception will become possible, and 
our favourite Science will be found 
capable of affording pleasure to the 
general reader far beyond what it can 
do at the present day.

ligencer may be obtained

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
A. inquires “ Is it correct that, when 
sending insects in exchange for others 
offered through the ‘ Intelligencer,’ the 
person so sending should be required to 
pay postage both ways?” This is a 
point which must be left to the judgment 
of each individual entomologist: many 
there are, we know, who could ill afford 
to pay the postage of insect-boxes either 
way, whereas others would gladly pay the 
postage both ways rather than not obtain 
the insects offered. 
T. B. — The oak-galls seem to have 
travelled eastward, from Devonshire and 
the neighbourhood of Bristol. You will 
find a long controversy on the insect 
and its name in the ‘ Zoologist’ for 1855 
pp. 4566, 4640, &c., and in the third 
volume of the ‘ Transactions of the Ento- 
mological Society,’ new series. 
T. B. — Notice of the captures of the 
rarer species acceptable. 
C. E,, Darlington. — The Nasturtium 
leaves are mined by a minute Dipterous 
larva. 
F. II. F. — You have far too exalted 
a notion of the value of a locust : were 
your communication published, it would 
be long before you heard the last of it. 
M. H , Leeds. — The caterpillars in 
the celery leaves will produce a small 
fly, which, in Westwood’s ‘ Introduction,’ 
is named Tephritis Onopoadinis.
