THU ENTOMOLOGIST'S WEEKLY" INTELLIGENCER. 
must have been a far more accommo- 
dating body than the present race of 
entomologists), “ the advantage that 
must manifestly accrue from the altera- 
tion” does not appear to have been 
properly appreciated. 
Indeed, Haworth himself, in the pro- 
gress of his work, abandoned the ori- 
ginal idea, but his Prodromus remains 
to us to show the symmetrical har- 
mony that would have resulted had 
it been fully carried out. In this 
work the Noctuee will all he found 
with the new terminations, barring the 
Xanthice or Sallows, left, we suppose, 
as an exception in order to prove the 
rule, and it is difficult to glance 
through the list gravely on finding 
such names as Mi, Oo and Chi, trans- 
mogrified into Miina, Ooina, Cliiina. 
The concluding passage in the Pre- 
face reads almost like a hit of pleasant 
satire : — 
“ My particular acknowledgments are 
likewise eminently due, and are lure 
most willingly presented, to my very 
good and learned friend, J.’Burrell, 
M.A. and F.L.S., who has not only 
been the contributor of many rare and 
unique moths to the Aurelian Society, 
but, at my request, invented the elegant 
termination of ina for our Noctuee.” 
Surely Haworth should have gone a 
step further, and should have presented 
his friend, if not with a piece of Plate, 
at least with a piece of Clii ina.
